Everyone is always excited to start on their fitness goals in January but by the time February rolls around, many people have already given up.

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 […]
Below are a few of my favorite kettlebell workouts to do at home and all are less than 30 minutes! Kettebell workouts are great because you can get in a good HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout with just one piece of equipment. You can use it for cardio and strength training! Kettlebells are also great […]
Oxygen Magazine asked me what I thought about a few “old school” training techniques that have been around a long time but many people don’t know about. One is ascending/descending reps and the other is the partial reps technique. Below is the article taken from Oxygen: Technique: Ascending/Descending sets aka “Running the Rack” or “Running the […]

Most of the week you’ll see me around town or teaching bootcamp in workout clothes and my hair in a top knot and if you see me…you may be wondering why I don’t use MORE beauty products (haha). But, believe it or not – I can actually clean up quite nicely. I don’t have a lot […]

I finally made it to the movies to see Mission Impossible Rogue Nation this past weekend and loved it! Tom Cruise definitely still has it and his stunt-work was very impressive. But, I feel like Rebecca Ferguson (the female lead) was the one that really stole the show! She kicks some serious ass and looks […]
Last night at my bootcamp we did an agility ladder workout. I didn’t have my agility ladder with me – so I just drew one with chalk on the sidewalk. If you don’t have chalk you can also use string or tape. I made mine about 15-20 feet long and divided it up into about 15-20 […]

I’ve always been a big fan of calisthenics workouts and many of my sample workouts here on my blog include them. What are calisthenics? Well – think of “old school” PE exercises like chin-ups, pushups and situps. Why are these moves so good? Well, for one they usually require little or no equipment. Want to […]
Keeping your dog fit and healthy will not only extend his life – but also make him so much happier, will reduce stress (including separation anxiety, etc) and help him sleep better. The same is true for us humans! I have a basset hound named Smudge and he loves to workout with me (well, watch me workout!). […]
