Shake it like a…
Hi! Happy Monday! YOU GUYS. I finally did it. I went ahead and ordered Shakeology… and P90X3 to go along with it. After trying Shakeology a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about the Vegan Chocolate. While I prefer to get my nutrients from whole foods for the most part, I’m pretty passionate…

Capsule (ish) wardrobe
Hiiiii 🙂 Things have been pretty stale on the ol’ fashion page, but I’m excited to share some of the things I’ve done to minimize my stuff and create my own version of a capsule(ish) wardrobe. This idea was 100% inspired by my buddy in all of this, Maria, and this awesome blog and post.…

Vegan Chickpea Cheezy Stuffed Mushrooms
So I had some mushrooms in the fridge that were in a “use it or lose it situation.” These vegan stuffed mushrooms were the perfect way to rescue them! They’ll probably be that much more delicious using mushrooms that are at their prime. 😉 It’s been a good day over here so far. I spent…

30 minute cardio playlist
Hi guys! How’s the morning going? Hope you’re having a great day so far! Last night I taught spin, which was a lot of fun. It also felt like an ideal amount of time, because it was the first half of a spin/TRX combo class. (Not able to teach the TRX portion right now.) The…

Fitness Instructor Cliches
Hi guys! How’s your day going? So happy you liked the pizza/flatbread recipe! Let me know if you give it a try. The past few days have been interesting. I’ve had to avoid the temptation to use my left hand in daily life (or face the stinging consequence). That means avoiding exercises that involve gripping…

Goat Cheese, Beet and Jalapeño Flatbread
This is my healthier at-home version of our beloved Bo-Beau Kitchen flatbread: goat cheese, beet and jalapeño. AKA three things you wouldn’t really think to put together. But, this unique flatbread combination is so right. The component that helps bring everything together is a sweet onion-tomato spread. To make this, all I did was heat…

Resistance band loop leg workout
(that’s a mouthful, eh?) The resistance band loop is one of my favorite barre tools. It looks so innocent, but it BURNs. It’s an awesome way to target your outer thighs (abductor muscles) and your glute medius. I also like that similar to other types of resistance bands, there are varying levels of difficulty. Once…
