Now that I’m a new mom – I don’t have as much time to go to the gym as I’d like. So, when I am able to go – the last thing I want to do is wander around trying to decide what body part to work or waiting for my favorite machines. The best […]
Over the next week I will be spending quite a few days with family and as much as I’d like to indulge in holiday treats and lounge around (not really)..I need a plan! I have a video shoot in 4 weeks so every day counts! Most of the time when we are visiting friends and […]

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ve created a short, fun workout that you can do this week – even if you are swamped with family, friends and entertaining. Better yet – get your family to do this workout with you! You can do this workout anywhere – just swap out the weights for canned veggies (or something heavier) […]
This is a great workout you can do almost anywhere! All you need is access to a bench or step and 1 weight or kettlebell to hold (to make it harder). You can also make it more challenging by using a bench that’s higher. Mix in 1 minute of cardio between each exercise (do kettlebell […]
This week we incorporated heavy weights at my bootcamp as part of our “Fit For Fall” series! It’s good to mix things up and important to do a least one or two days of heavy strength training. For the exercises below, you will need 2 dumbbells that are heavier than what you normally use for […]
We are doing a contest this week as part of our “Fit For Fall”series at Bombshell Bootcamp! This week we are doing AMRAP workouts at camp. What is AMRAP? Well, it stands for As Many Rounds As Possible. Most workouts are done in a given time period and you have to see how many rounds […]
We setup a 3-week plan for members of our bootcamp to follow while we were in between sessions. We gave them sample workouts to do on suggested days that included cardio, strength training and a running workout. The plan requires that you follow our suggested workouts for 3 days each week and then incorporate a […]
Welcome to July! Now that it’s summer – most of us want to shift our focus to body parts that are seen more often, like arms! In the summer months, our arms are exposed a lot with endless tank tops, sleeveless dresses and short sleeve t’s. It’s not as easy to camouflage your arms in the heat […]
Happy Fourth of July! Below is a sample workout that will be perfect for you to try this holiday weekend! As a bonus, if you share this picture and workout with your friends – you will get entered into a drawing to win some cute Oakley Women Capris and a package of Svelte protein shakes! […]
This past weekend I went to see the new Superman “Man of Steel” movie and it was hard not to notice the amazing shape that Henry Cavill is in! I remember when he was on the Tudors and he wasn’t nearly as buff. I did a little research to find out what he did to pack on extra […]
We’ve started a weekly running group as part of Bombshell Bootcamp and each week we post a new running workout for the group to complete on their own. Last week we focused on the Tempo Run. As a marathon runner – I’m very familiar with this training run but many people are not. It’s one […]
This is a great way to really challenge your endurance and work on muscle conditioning. You can do this with any combo of exercises – but the below moves target your whole body. I recommend using a medium set of dumbbells for most of the exercises.
In case you haven’t purchased the May issue of Fitness Magazine yet – I wanted to share the hill workout that I created. I designed a custom treadmill workout for the Bikini Body Bootcamp Plan that is a great workout to mix in to your weekly routine (or the Bikini Body Bootcamp Plan) 2-3 times […]
We did this workout last week at Bombshell Bootcamp and everyone said they were feeling the burn for days! It’s a simple, yet effective workout that primarily targets the lower body. We had our bootcampers run the hill outside or the loop of stairs for 5 minutes at a time. If you don’t have access […]
I’m so excited to be a new contributor for Fitness Magazine and I’ve designed the new “Bikini Body Bootcamp” series in the May 2013 issue! It’s part of their “Fit For Summer” Series and includes 4 weeks of my Bikini Body Bootcamp workouts (cardio + strength circuits), along with diet tips and a swimsuit […]

We held a special Bombshell Bootcamp workout during the event for 200 of Oakley’s VIP’s as part of theirlive ambassador search! We had a blast and are looking forward to meeting more amazing women at the […]
Looking for 1 single move to tone your legs, core and shoulders that also counts as cardio? Try the jump squat! I love these and Carrie and mix them in at our bootcamp a lot! You can do it with or without weight – but if you use weight, I wouldn’t use more than a […]
Most of you probably spent the last week or so with family and friends and indulged in a few holiday treats and your New Year’s Eve party dress was probably the last thing on your mind. Now it’s 4 days away!! Don’t panic ….you can still tone up (and de-bloat) in time so that you […]
All day today, I’ve been hobbling around because I have sore hamstrings. But – don’t’ get me wrong…I love it! Why am I so sore? Well, I did 4 sets of deadlifts yesterday with a 30lb kettlebell! Deadlifts are kinda sneaky because rarely do I feel them when I’m actually doing the exercise – but […]
