Fitness, Parenthood, Writing
This one has been on the burner for a few months now, but life has gotten in the way and I haven’t had a moment to breathe. Until now. This is for all of the body rockers. Yeah, you in the gym, swingin’ and a swayin’, rocking’ back and forth as you workout. No, I’m […]
Read MoreI don’t think my legs are at their full potential. Yeah, they’re looking a hell of a lot better than they were 12 years ago, but they still need work. Apparently, I’m the only one that thinks that. If I had a penny for every time I got compliments in my legs or was asked […]
Read More… It’s quite something really, how my mind works. In the middle of holding a rear delt raise for what felt like a million hours at a photo shoot today, my brain started kicking, as usual, into overdrive. I’m on a “vacation” and my brain just won’t shut off. What else is new, right? Never […]
Read MoreAs a former climber, I know all about the amazing gripping benefits of chalking. I can still remember a time back in high school, climbing with the dynamic teaching-climbing duo from my school at a local spot and even though I was attached to ropes, I felt like it was just the very tips of […]
Read MoreThere is something that us as human beings need to remember: Don’t worry about everyone else, you are not them, and you do not have any say in what they do (unless you’re their parent and they’re under the age of 18, then that’s a different story). My nerves are grated when I see nasty […]
Read MoreUnfortunately, it’s still a huge mindset that if a woman weight lifts, she’s going to to get big. Like Jay Cutler big. Despite more and more proof today that that’s false, it still somehow holds ground. Making women fear the weight rack or machines. Sure, there are women out there who quest to be bigger. […]
Read MoreI did something last night that I never before thought (actually didn’t know) I could do. I hula-hooped. Not just that I successfully got more than three rounds around my waist with the hoop, but I did it for a solid 20-minutes, non-stop. When I was younger, I’d throw the hoop around my tiny little […]
Read MoreAround six years ago, while I was soaking up the rays of the social life, much more than I am now, I was given the nickname Miss Fitness. It came about one night, in a packed bar, when I happened across a $50 bill on the floor that went unclaimed and the bartender let me […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago on the way down to Boston, a conversation arose about training and trainers. Pretty much everyone I know knows my stance on just what I think a trainer should be, and it’s shocking to me to discover that there are people out there who don’t hold to even half the standards […]
Read MoreIt’s that time of year where my gym gets an influx of new members (majority is male) looking to either change their lifestyle or stick with the gym because they’ve just recently been assigned to our Coast Guard station here. These are the few weeks (aside from in January) where it takes me a little […]
