How to Exercise in the Morning (And Like It)

Every so often, it will be 4:30 am on a Friday morning and I will be sitting in my car in the driveway debating on whether or not my spin class will miss me if I don’t show up. Actually, it is most Friday mornings. Because I fit training and fitness instruction around a full… Read More…

The massage therapist who didn’t give a massage

One thing I am finding out about myself as I grow into my adult life is that I don’t trust my decisions enough. I am still learning everything there is to know about me as an adult. I knew me pretty well as a teenager, but there is nothing like belly flopping into the real… Read More…

Full of surprises and hurt

Full of surprises and hurt

My fitness classes are important to me. They should be fun. Full of surprises. And hurt. [Just a little.] I spend a lot of time making sure that I have fresh content like Oil Riggers in Pilates, a new kettle bell sequence in my boot camp or add a bender ball to my glider class…. Read More…

Fitness Friday: Going Against the Grain

Feb22

Fitness Friday: Going Against the Grain

I think about you. I really do. In my head, you are a much more demanding audience then you are in real life and I spend my driving time thinking of what I am going to say next, especially on weeks like this one when I am feeling uninspired. Most weeks, I have it all… Read More…

Interview with Kathryn Bertine

We literally are all the way back to Friday again. I could not be happier. This week has been utter and complete madness for me. I will not lament but rather focus on awesomer things. So a while back, I gave away a book. Yes, I am STILL on about Kathryn Bertine. The woman is… Read More…
