Cruising has come a long way from endless buffets of fried fatty foods and deserts, crowded staterooms and non-existent gyms. Now days you can take a cruise and actually come back a healthier person! A couple of months ago I went on a Carnival cruise with my family and we had an amazing time. One […]
I was recently interviewed by the Houston Chronicle’s Maggie Gordon – on how to to fit in a good workout on your lunch-break. My suggestion was to do your workouts AT work so you can cut down on travel time to/from a gym or class…since most people only have an hour or less for lunch. […]

Usually for Thanksgiving, most of us like to make traditional family recipes – but those usually end up being not so healthy and are considered “comfort foods” – aka fatty. There is nothing wrong with having these in moderation (yes that’s me above making stuffing a few years ago…before I left for the Turkey Trot!) […]
Most new moms tend to focus a lot (A LOT) on getting their pre-baby body back after pregnancy. So, we try to spend as much time in between feedings, sleep (or lack there of) and baby activities focusing on our own fitness. But, what about your baby? Should your baby be getting some exercise too? […]
Starting a healthy morning routine is important – not just for yourself but your family and your dog! If you have kids – this is a great time of year to get into a healthy routine so it sets the tone for the school year. But, don’t just think about your “back to school” routine […]
1. Am I doing this correctly? – Trainers will be watching your every move and correcting your form during each workout, but it still doesn’t hurt to ask them if you are doing it right – especially if it hurts or something doesn’t feel normal. 2. Can you recommend a good post-workout snack or meal? […]

Tight hamstrings can not only effect your workouts but they can also cause lower back pain. Learning how to stretch them properly is key. If you incorporate some stretches into your weekly workout routine, you’ll become more flexible, have better running form and also decrease injuries to your lower back. But, be sure to stretch […]

Many times it’s impossible to get outside for a run our outdoor workout (due to the weather, your schedule, or if you have a new baby like me) and you can’t get to the gym – but, that doesn’t mean you can’t get in a good cardio workout in your living room! Below are some […]

We all know how hard J.J. Watt trains and have seen him do that record-breaking 5’1” box jump, but what about the other athletes on the field at NRG Stadium? No, I’m not talking about the players, but the Houston Texans Cheerleaders. These girls are also real athletes. Not only do they have to train […]

I did this workout last night at my bootcamp and it’s super challenging. I had the girls mix in some stair running about halfway through just to mix in some steady cardio. If you don’t have access to stairs – go for a 5 minute jog around your block, jump rope or do some other […]
