Focus On: Dance Trance
With all of the Focus On posts in the sea, I CAN’T BELIEVE I haven’t written one about Dance Trance. I have no idea how I skipped it- Dance Trance is one of my favorite cardio workouts! I used to own the license to teach here in Tucson (the info on why I stopped is here).…
Read More →Focus On: Boxing Workouts
Source: popartuk.com via kanna on Pinterest The first time I took a boxing class, I felt pretty silly. I thought it would be just like Tae Bo and actually no, that wasn’t the case. My punches were weak, I didn’t get in a great workout, and because I was lacking the confidence to put…
Read More →Tomato tea and massahhhhhhhge
Most of my meals today have been out of a bowl. First, this morning’s oats, and then this afternoon’s stellar sniffle remedy. Tomato tea! Whenever I start to feel under the weather, I usually try to fight it by upping my fruit and veggie intake, fresh juices (Liv and I made a Whole Foods run…
Read More →Focus On: BOSU Balance Trainer
The BOSU freaked me out for a long time. I knew it was kind of like a stability ball, but I didn’t want to use it and look like a giant goober. Instead, whenever I saw someone else use the BOSU, I watched intently to see if I could learn any new moves. The standards:…
Read More →Summer Workout Gear
Since I never grew up with official seasons, they kind of confuse me. When it’s summer, I don’t want to spend a ton on summer clothes, since fall will be here soon. And then I remember it’s technically summer here in AZ 3/4 of the year. I have a hard time committing to trends (unless…

Reader Request: Is ZIN worth it?
Of the emails I receive, 3 topics are the most popular: -health and wellness -military life (dealing with deployments, moving, making friends, etc) and –ZUMBA! Quite a few people have asked about the Zumba licensing process, if ZIN is worth it and what to expect, so I thought it would be a fun post for…
Read More →Focus On: The New Nordic Diet
When I first heard of the Nordic Diet, I couldn’t help but think of the Maelstrom ride in Norway at Epcot. It has trolls and scares the life out of me. But that doesn’t say much because we all know I’m a huge chicken. Never been on it? Here ya go: Random side note: does…
Read More →Focus On: Chalean Extreme
Hey guys, This Focus Post is pretty exciting to me because it’s a workout that I’ve been wanting to try for quite a while. I couldn’t find it in myself to purchase a set of weights -it seems unnecessary when you move often and have a gym membership. It may be something I could try…
Read More →Focus On: Nia Technique
Happy weekend to you! Mine started off in the best way possible: a night hanging out with the girls 🙂 I brought a bottle of red from TJs, and stopped to pick up a tostada from Renee’s Organic Oven to eat on the way since I was so hungry from teaching. I also had a…

Saunas: Fab or Fluke?
Stepped out of the box a little for b-fast this morning.. breakfast quinoa! It’s been forever since I’ve had it for breakfast, but it’s an awesome am option- so good heated up with almond milk, topped with berries and almond butter. After yesterday’s adventures, we chilled at the house, and when Liv went to bed,…
Read More →Focus On: Weight Watchers
I’m heading back to work this morning, so in the meantime, I wanted to bring you a Focus On post that I didn’t feel quite qualified to write. When I first tried to lose weight, my stint with Weight Watchers was very short-lived, since I really didn’t know how to choose healthy foods at the…
Read More →Focus On: Video Game Fitness
For a while, the only video game action our house saw was Call of Duty- the Pilot is a fan 😉 And then, the lovely representatives from Microsoft were so kind to send a couple of fitness video games that I might enjoy, along with an Xbox Kinect. I very rarely accept products from companies…
