all-new barre burner
Hi friends! Happy almost-Friday 🙂 Thank you so much for all of your early bird words of wisdom. I think if I make it a priority and go to bed earlier (consistently), it will become a lot easier. A few of you asked about the hormonal thing, so I thought I’d write a little blip…

Row and Run Workout
Last night was taco night! We also celebrated a certain special someone’s 1/2 birthday. The last couple of times I’ve made tacos, I’ve made them the “restaurant way” (browned ground meat in a crispy or soft corn tortilla shell) which isn’t usually how we eat them in our family. My mom, aunt, nanas, everyone all…

2,4,6,8,10 Treadmill Workout
Whenever we have family or friends staying with us, it makes me feel like we’re on vacation, too. It’s nice to slooooooow down for a second, sometimes play tourists in our own city, and just enjoy being together. Yesterday afternoon, we all went swimming: (little fish was very busy eating a bagel chip, hence…

Kombucha update + NEW Ab burner
I’m not going to say I wasn’t a little freaked out to taste the kombucha. The scoby looked totally healthy with no signs of mold, but there were definitely more strands of bacteria floating around in there. It’s pretty amazing how much the liquid changes in a course of 10 days, and the new baby…

The quiet workout
Maybe I’m just drawn to the types of workouts that are more intense on the volume, but working out seems to be a pretty loud thing. Between the Zumba screaming, loud sighing/breathing in yoga and plyometric jumps, when I’m working out, you know. This is one of the huge reasons I haven’t been working out…

2,4,6,8,10 Workout
One of my favorite ways to switch up a usual weights routine is to play with reps; often pyramid-style workouts. It makes the workout fly by, and something about getting to the last round feels so triumphant. Here’s something fun I recently tried. “Fun.” As Tina says: “It doesn’t have to be ‘fun’ to be…
