I hate the elliptical. Literally hate it. The StairMaster is better than the stinking elliptical. She said what? Oh yeah, gal. I went there. Can’t tell you how many texts from my clients I’ve gotten expressing their loathing of the StairMaster. To which I metaphorically stroke their hair & tell them it will be okay and that the StairMaster is now our friend. BUT BACK TO THE ELLIPTICAL. Rarely do I get on the elliptical simply because I feel like I’m about to be shot off the back of it because I tend to get overly zealous and my leg start spinning faster than...

Weight loss journeys post kiddos are hard physically and mentally and sometimes we get so stuck in the idea that our only measure of success is the scale and our measurements. However!

Anytime that you hop on the Internet asking for the answer to a question, you will undoubtedly come across just about anyone who thinks that they’re an expert. While this is true for any niche, it's especially true for fitness. When you are working to sculpt and build muscle, your overall nutrition is extremely important and directly affects your results. The information that is on the interwebs regarding this topic constantly conflicts each other. So much so that women have gotten to the point that they don’t know what to eat so they simply won’t eat. What is the answer...
