How to Move More
No matter what your health and fitness goals, nearly everyone could find ways to move more. So many of us are stuck behind a computer for hours on end every day, only to go home and sit on the couch. The inactivity is costing us our health, but it’s actually really easy to start moving…
Read MoreMake up your mind to take action
Rachel Hollis was the keynote speaker at the recent Beachbody summit and I feel like her message sparked something in me: You can’t just know something; you have to actually take act on it in order to be effective. We all know what we need to do in order to move the needle on our…
Read MoreThrough Aging and Injury
A few weeks ago, I was playing a tennis match at Phoenix Country Club. My leg cramped but, being the stubborn person I am, I chose to play through it and stretch between sets. Eventually, I felt something like a rubber band snap in my calf. I was done. I had to forfeit the match.…
Read MoreMotivation Fixes for Working Out at Home
Working out from home can be hard. More difficult than dragging yourself to the gym, even. Why? Well, there’s no one really holding you accountable. You turn on the television or log into the app and hit “play.” But if you’re like me, you’re working out while the house is empty. If you do half…
Read MoreRecovery and Treatment, Not Masking Pain

Read More80 Day Obsession: Phase II Review
I finished up Phase II of 80 Day Obsession recently and I’m still going strong. The more I’m in this program, the more I love it.

When you have a spouse or partner, it’s important to support them in their goals–especially when you want the same support back. It’s not always easy to do when you have busy lives at home and at work. But often your goals are similar. After all, your mutual respect for health, fitness or some other…
Read MoreGet Your Obsession On!
The new year will be here before you know it, and with it a new program from Beachbody. If you’ve been keeping up on Autumn Calabrese, you know that she’s releasing a new program that’s unlike anything Beachbody has done before. One of my favorite things about Beachbody is that they’re constantly pushing the envelope.…
