Workouts in Less Time

We all like free, right? I mean who doesn’t like free?? Pinterest is awesome in that you can hop on there, type a few words in and with a little bit of technology magic, you are now staring at a world of recipes, home décor ideas, hilarious pictures of cats and dogs, and people claiming to be fitness experts. The last one is the one that I’m going to spend time on today. There is a legitimate danger in just using a random infographic Pin for your workouts. Unless you know for an absolute fact that the person who created said graphic...

Everybody seems to have an opinion don’t they? Sometimes it seems that those that have the loudest opinion know the least about a subject. Am I right, mama? The fitness industry is one of those industries that have a lot of loud mouths. And while I love my peers, and I do believe that most of them mean well, you HAVE to be careful who you listen to. Because if they don’t know what they’re talking about, then… well, listening to their advice would do you no good. WHAT ABOUT THE TOPIC OF FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE? Lots of people have lots...

Let’s start with a funny story. I have permission to share this story of one of my clients by the way, I just absolutely love it. One of my girls wanted to learn about foam roller exercises but she was a bit nervous about it and wasn’t sure where to start. Which is where a lot of people are and that’s okay! We talked through it and the first time she tried she said “I kept falling off and I think my butt was in the air constantly. I’m pretty sure people thought I was a nut case.” God love her, we...

Pull-ups for the longest time have been my nemesis. Well, basically my entire upper body used to be horribly weak. Over the past year, I’ve used these exercises to improve pull ups for both myself, and my clients. I’m going to keep this super short and sweet, because, let’s face it, there’s nothing super ground breaking about these 5 exercises. They’re very straight forward and can be done while you’re at the gym. Couple of things to remember! Medium or heavy weights are relative to the person. So whatever if heavy to you, use that. Whatever is medium weight to...

Have you ever seen a video on the internet that is of some poor soul trying to do a workout move? And, their form is so terrible that anybody could tell that, hey, that isn’t the way that should be done? Or they fall off of a machine, and God love them they just try to walk it off like nothing ever happened? When I take on new clients, or I get readers that are looking to buy my programs but are on the fence, it is almost a certainty that they will tell me “hey, don’t make me do something that...

I’m going to tell you a story. This is basically a story of putting myself on blast but hey. It's a story about that time that I about died (not really) during a workout because I didn’t properly warm up. As with any good coach, I know the importance of warm up, but I didn’t “have time” and dove straight into my workout. So, I started on the rower and was going to do rowing intervals. Well, I didn’t do any gentle rowing to get those muscles and joints nice and limber and I just started doing 150M hard and 50M gentle....
