Ever since you haven't quite been able to find your flow at the gym again. Your willpower gave out and your self-discipline feels non-existent. You feel defeated. Again.

I'm a huge advocate for hiking. Ya'll probably know this by now. It's great for you in allll the ways unless you're one of those unfortunate people that's allergic to everything under the sun. In which case... let's get you a hazmat suit and goooo! haha jk Anyway... There have been several times on hikes that I've had to do things that required big steps, jumping, working my balance, and hanging on for dear life that make me grateful that I spend time working out. Stepping up

The key to keeping an exercise habit going is to be super rigid about your workout routine... right? NO MA'AM (or sir). You actually need to allow yourself some flexibility because the main goal is to build the habit of getting in some sort of daily movement. Rather than telling yourself you have to do strength training in the gym 5 days a week for an hour or else it doesn't count, try letting yourself have some flexibility. You'd be surprised how much easier it is to stick

Summer is upon us and I bet you're super excited to get right into all your planned (and unplanned) shenanigans. Do you find yourself getting a little concerned about keeping up your healthy habits? Or maybe you're actually considering just kinda letting them slide to the wayside for a bit...you can pick them back up in the fall, right? Let me be your voice of reason! Trying to maintain an overall healthy lifestyle while going on a vacation or traveling can be tough, but it's

The state of your mind is sooo important. How you are doing mentally will show up in every other aspect of your life. So if you're...

Walking into a gym can be really intimidating. Big pieces of equipment you have no idea how to use. People that obviously have a very consistent gym habit. You may feel a little out of place. Like everyone is lookin at you like "who's this chick?" I totally get it. Like for real. Confession: when I first started working in a gym, I didn't really know what I was doing and for the longest time I avoided the free weight area except to clean it. For years I'd had an interest in b
