My P90X3 Review
Hi friends! How’s the day going so far? I can finally post my P90X3 review–apologies for being late to the blogging party today!

Focus On: Barry’s Bootcamp
After all of this time, I finally took a Barry’s Bootcamp class. I’m not sure what I’ve been waiting for, as it’s something I’ve been wanting to try for years. I was really excited when we found out there was one in San Diego, but I’ve been so happy in my Orangetheory bubble that I…

My First Hydrostatic Weighing Experience
This weekend, I got my body fat percentage tested. To be real, I’m more of an “ignorance is bliss” type of person when it comes to weight/body fat/etc. I think these numbers can be valuable if you’re looking to reach a specific goal, but since I’m not currently going after a specific weight or body…

Focus On: Carb Cycling (what is it and how does it work?)
Recently, I got a question about carb cycling and how my eating changes depending on whether I’m in my losing or maintenance mode. There is a lot of hubbub in the fitness world about carb cycling and macro counting, so here’s a little post with my two cents. Here’s How Carb Cycling Works Carb cycling…

Focus On: SPARKCYCLE
Something about trying a new fitness class makes me so excited. And sore. This is almost always the case, and my legs are still screaming with victory cries after last night’s Sparkcycle class. Indoor cycling is one of my favorite workouts -you can get in an intense cardio workout without joint impact- and one of…

My first taste of the Masala Bhangra workout was at the IDEA conference. (<– reason 29,382 it’s advantageous to check out IDEA if you’re a fitness professional. I was exposed to so many new fitness trends!) As you guys know, I’m a HUGE fan of international dance, so I was pretty stoked to try out…
