Get more out of your leg workout
Hi! Hope you’ve had an amazing day so far <3 A pic of Bell, because she looked so pretty standing in the hallway: We’ve had a great morning over here: a Bodypump class, (found these printed Reebok leggings in the depths of my closet! On sale right now, too.) Liv’s yoga class, and some errands…

Compound crusher workout
Hi guys! Hope you’re enjoying your day so far <3 It’s been an interesting week. I fully believe that the full moon affects energy/mood/toddler behavior. During naptime, I usually blitz through the to-do list, but this week, I watched a couple episodes of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and the finale of So You Think You Can Dance.…

While you were BodyPumping…

something a group fitness certification won’t teach you
Once upon a time -I’m being vague here because I don’t want to directly call out the company/studio- some blogging friends and I went to take a fitness class as part of an event. The studio knew we were bloggers, were wonderfully kind and accommodating, and made a point to let the instructor know that…

NASM Personal Training Study Guide
I’ve been trying to plan out my career goals for our move to San Diego. Last night, I was able to pick the Pilot’s brain about a few things while we put up our Christmas lights after Livi was asleep. It was kind of a fun date night, since it was uninterrupted time to talk and…

Taming the snack monster
Hi friends 🙂 How’s your day going? Lately I’ve been doing something fun that I haven’t done in a while: training a client on a distance basis. Recently, I got an email asking for some guidance, and decided to go for it since this particular individual knows how to lift weights and is already comfortable…

Running-only playlist
Hi friends! How is your Sunday going? I’m so stoked to spend it relaxing. Absolutely nothing on the schedule, and it’s our first full day with the three of us home since our return from Italy. My body is also grateful for a down day after yesterday’s running and teaching extravaganza. Before work, I met…

I joined a running group
and I liked it 🙂 I have PR dreams for my next half marathon, so my friend Monica hooked me up with a training plan, which I’ve been loosely following according to my schedule. This week, I also went to the running store to get fitted for new shoes to last me the fall/winter…

11/18: Video of the day
It was a perfectly lazy and lovely Sunday. We walked at Sabino Canyon while the Pilot and my stepdad ran, enjoyed time hanging out at the house and fought the urge to put up Christmas decorations, even though they’re beckoning to me. The highlight of the night was teaching at a Zumbathon to raise funds…

New and Old
I always tell myself to take it easy and pace myself for these things. But then when the time comes, and class starts, I get so excited, go a little cray, and then it hurts to be alive by the end of the day. I’ve already learned so much –lots of new moves for upcoming…
