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 […]
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 […]

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!). […]
