Gosh, I'm funny! Any-who, I wanted to give you a little more information about using Fasting as a nutrition strategy for the long term. I have been Intermittently Fasting for a couple of months now and it is, hands down, the thing that is making the biggest difference to my physique. Disclaimer - in that time I have transitioned to a High Fat Low Carb (HFLC) lifestyle and have included athletic conditioning into my training routine, but even with all that change, I know that

I've honestly been feeling pretty overwhelmed and mentally unclear recently. I have been focusing on expanding my business, being who I need to be for my clients and my team and looking ahead to some pretty lofty goals with a brain that is about to explode! We all go through times of overwhelm, times where we feel stressed and bogged down with the demands placed upon us. I consider myself very lucky that all the pressure I feel is pressure that I place on myself to achieve wh

I feel like this is something that a lot of people grapple with - how much cardio should I be doing / what kind of weight training should I be doing / what should my workout split look like? The simple answer is that you should have both cardiovascular and strength training in your regular routine. The more convoluted answer is that it depends on what your goals are! So, to give you a personal case study, I have not done a workout in about 4 years that did not include both ca

Disclaimer: I am not a scientist, a dietician or a professional in the Medical field. What I am is a professional in the Fitness industry who does her due diligence by remaining curious, 'dialed in' and educated in her field. So, before I began eating according to a High Fat Low Carb (HFLC) diet, I did a lot of research into the science behind the premise of this nutrition method. Since jumping into this lifestyle and deciding that this is a long-term nutrition strategy for m

I'm feeling feisty, guys! After dropping all those truth bombs on my Facebook Live yesterday, I feel compelled to continue with my take-no-prisoners form of communication! So, here goes; I'm never going to apologize for expecting a lot from the people I work with. To have gotten to the point where you contact me for help, everything else you have tried alone, or with other trainers/coaches, has not worked. Let me say that again - everything else you have tried has. not. worke

My desire to exercise has been an evolving landscape. First it was about losing weight, then it was about keeping it off. Now, It's about what my body can do and my NEED to exercise. Movement makes me happy; it grounds me. Sweating and breathing hard makes me feel alive, capable and strong. Even when I'm doing things that I suck at (rock climbing, golf, power lifting, running), I truly feel my best when I'm sweating up a storm! So, I want you to start thinking about the poten

Legs for days! I LOVE doing lower body exercises, which may or may not be a surprise, as I am definitely known for my arms! And while I do have a soft spot in my heart for upper body work, and there are plenty of aesthetic benefits to lower body exercises (hello, derriere!) I have very practical reasons for loving Leg Day. So, I have some lower back issues that stem from a rotated pelvis and an L5 and S1 that want to be best friends. Therefore, it has become a big focus of mi

I'm sure that you have seen this quote multiple times, in multiple different places, but I wonder if you have ever actually applied it's meaning to something you are going through in your life. I have my degree in Psychology and have always been fascinated my human beings; why they do the things they do, why they think the things they think, why/how they grow into the people they do. And throughout my fitness journey, that fascination has grown and taken a slightly different
