We’ve made it through the first month and a half of 2016 and I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled to be getting back into a normal schedule after the holidays and I am looking forward to warmer months! As you may know, February is National Heart Month. Heart disease is the leading cause [...]
Los Angeles Fit Expo Wrap-Up I just got home from sunny Los Angeles, California and what a weekend it was. I love being able to go to fitness expos throughout the year, especially when they are somewhere warm and sunny, and of course the LA Fit Expo was definitely no exception. This weekend was fun and [...]
Love Yourself! When Lululemon approached me to ask me to be their guest instructor for the month of February this year - I was thrilled! And even more excited when they told me their theme through February is "Love Yourself." How fitting for my fitness mission :) I'll be teaching a 45-minute class every Tuesday night [...]
Well, the secret is out! I’m expecting a baby this December and am thrilled to share the journey with you! It is the first baby for my husband Alex and I, and I am honored to be documenting the experience with you. You can keep coming back here for the rest of the year (and more, [...]
It seems like it took me FOREVER to get my pre-pregnancy energy and motivation back. I’m 24 weeks now, and I didn’t start feeling like “me” again until about week 20. Even though my nausea subsided me at week 13, I still couldn’t get my energy and motivation back to hit the gym and have [...]
The definition of an impediment is “an obstruction in doing something.” This made me laugh, because it is so literal right now with this growing bump! With such a large “impediment” to maneuver around (and protect with my life) – I have had to modify my exercises quite a bit! Staying fit and maintaining muscle [...]
Pregnancy nutrition is a hot topic for me – perhaps hotter than training during pregnancy (which is SO important…but I talk about that all the time). I feel like my entire pregnancy has revolved around food. What is okay to eat – what is not okay? Nothing sounds good…now everything sounds good. Am I eating [...]
Ok ladies, let’s get to the bottom of this one. I’d like to start by letting you know that you need to talk to your doctor before taking any of this advice on supplementation. Your body is unique, and you may have specific needs or health concerns during your pregnancy that create special circumstances during your [...]
Often I have often overlooked circuit training in my own regime, because I focus so much on building muscle and symmetry. While that has proven to work, there is nothing about circuit training that is easy, and it is a great way to look lean, maintain muscle and SAVE TIME. During my pregnancy, getting to the [...]
Being 8 months pregnant isn’t easy! I’d love to tell everyone that my energy is off the charts and my workouts are amazing…but I would be lying. I feel incredible most days and, luckily, feel like I have just enough energy each day to get at least some form of a workout in. That doesn’t [...]
