Hurricane Harvey has really torn up my city (Houston) over the last few days and rain continues to pour this morning. It’s so sad. I’ve been very fortunate and did not get water in my home, although my street did flood and many neighbors homes were flooded. It’s heartbreaking to see and hear about all […]

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!

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.

Should your baby be getting some exercise too? […]

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.

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?
