Thursday Touchbase & Tips for Sleep
Hi guys- hope all of your weeks are going well so far! For you guys that read my post on being present, have you discovered any shifts in your mindset and/or being in the moment a bit more? Cutting back on...
Being Present
The amount of times that I say out loud how I wish I had two bodies or two pairs of hands is a bit obnoxious. I have become the queen of multitasking and can easily type with one hand on my laptop while scrolling through my Twitter feed on my phone, while talking to my friend.
While that skill is something I would have boasted about back in college, I now actually despise my tendency to do this and the fact that I do this far more frequently than I would like.
Fitness: One Size Doesn't Fit All
The world of fitness among professionals is unfortunately still a lot like the cafeteria cliques that Mean Girls describes. But instead of the varsity jocks, burnouts, cool Asians and Asian nerds, we have personal trainers, group fitness instructors, pilates instructors, and...
The Beauty Battle: No One is a Winner
A few months ago, I started writing a version of this article. Then it started getting really intense (started using way too many expletives) and I left it be for awhile to sort out my thoughts. But then this Renee Zellweger thing blew...
Build-a-Booty PART 3
The amount of times I've written the word "booty" in the past 3 weeks is rather alarming. It's even creeping into my spoken vocabulary a bit too casually in my coaching; this came apparent when...
Training Tuesday Roundup

Build-a-Booty PART 2.
Last week, I kicked off this "Build-a-Booty" series, thinking it was going to be two posts total. Now, I'm thinking it'll be more like three or maybe four posts, since I got...
Build-a-Booty PART 1
Butt. Derrèire. Booty. Tail. Buttocks. Bootock. Badonk. Glutes. A**. Seat. Hiney. Rear. Behind. Backside. Hind. Caboose. Tailfeather. Arse. Britches. Tush. Fanny. Bum. Trunk. Money-maker. There is a grand reason why there is an endless amount of words for your butt. There are...
Strength in Caring (and actually giving a shit)
Out of the problematic social phenomenons in our world, I think one of our worst is the lack of caring- or let me rephrase: the caring is there but for so long now we have been encouraged to play it cool and act blasé or indifferent. So when we're faced with actually showing feelings, we are paralyzed in fear of putting ourselves out there and actually revealing that we give a shit.
Nail the Plank
I wasn't even sure I was going to do a post on the plank because the majority of people seem to be doing it nowadays and understanding that the crunch belongs in the 90's. But then I realized I still...
Being Everything to Everyone
This is a sensation that pretty much everyone I know has felt- both men and women alike. But I would have to say that...

Body Judgement
Before I launched the site, I created a list of topics I wanted to write about and in what general order I thought of doing them. But sometimes when you're really...
The Grey World of Fitness
Fitness Expert. Celebrity Trainer. Top Trainer.
These labels are tossed around so generously, they've lost all meaning. The health and fitness industry is one of the most...
