Focus on: Shockwave
I like to write Focus On posts for classes that aren’t available here, like a bit of a fitness daydream. Physique 57, Grit, Buti Fitness, etc. etc. Anyone know of an awesome Shockwave class in San Diego?! This is a class I had the opportunity to try once, and I’ve been thinking about it ever…

Focus On: Buti Fitness
While I was at the IDEA conference, it was kind of my heaven: new fitness gadget and education OVERLOAD. I read in the last IDEA Journal that during the conference, you learn and see too much to even begin to use or absorb, which I totally believe. There were some jewels that I’ll keep with…

Focus On: GPP Fitness
Hi friends! I’m really excited about this week’s Focus On post, as it’s a workout that I’ve experimented with in the past couple of months. I’m a huge fan of the GPP functional movements and quick workouts -mama’s got to get in and out of the gym in 40 minutes or so- and I especially…

Focus On: Barre Workouts
I’ve received quite a few requests about barre workouts, since I recently started teaching a barre-based class at work. Barre classes (like those you’ll find at Physique 57, Core Fusion, Pure Barre, Barre3 and the Bar Method, just to name a few) are ballet-inspired classes, guaranteed to make your legs and thighs quiver for mercy.…

Focus On: The Raw Food Diet
Raw food is sexy. [photo source] There’s really no other way to put it. Even though I’ve strayed from my mostly-raw ways of the past, it is a lifestyle that I enjoy and (for the most part) support. In this post, you’ll find more details about a high-raw life and why it didn’t really work…

Focus On: Intermittent Fasting
When I first heard the intermittent fasting hype, it caught my attention, as most trendy diets will do. I always like to be familiar with food and fitness fads so that if I train a client who is following something new, I’m already familiar with what they’ve been doing. Once I heard the premise of…

How much cardio do you need?
I’m a bit of a cardio junkie. [teaching at a Zumbathon] I LOVE cardio, but not just any cardio. I’m pretty selective about the types I’ll choose and there’s no reason to not be picky- there are so many fantastic options! I can’t stay on the elliptical for very long anymore -I think I’ve logged…

I love reading about her fitness adventures (especially since I’m convinced I was destined to live in NYC) and her…

Focus On: Power Yoga
As you guys know, I’m a HUGE fan of power yoga. It’s one of my all-time favorite workout loves, and something I always come back to, even after a bit of a hiatus. Right now, I’m on a power yoga high as I’ve been recently reunited with the practice. In Tucson, I’ve had a bit…

Review of Zuzana’s ZCUT Power Cardio DVDs
I think we’re all in agreement that I have a girl crush on Zuzana. (photo source) She has a soft-spoken, kind and approachable demeanor, and at the same time, creates these crazy intense workouts that leave me shaking in a pool of sweat. How can someone so nice make my muscles cry so effectively? Oh,…
