My First Hydrostatic Weighing Experience

This weekend, I got my body fat percentage tested. To be real, Iโ€™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 youโ€™re looking to reach a specific goal, but since Iโ€™m not currently going after a specific weight or body…

Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday. With the Tucson trip and Veteranโ€™s Day holiday, this week went by so quickly! We have some fun plans for the weekend and somehow a race day snuck up on my calendar. I will be running, but certainly not racing. Itโ€™s been a little while, and while Iโ€™m dreading the early wakeup,…

How safe and effective are hot fitness classes?

Hi! Howโ€™s the morning going? Hope youโ€™re having a great one so far!  Iโ€™ve received quite a few requests for a monthly workout calendar for November. Weโ€™re going to have something a little different this month leading up to the holiday: Give PLANKS. ๐Ÿ™‚ Iโ€™ll send the pre-turkey-day plan out tomorrow. If youโ€™d like to…
