Fitness Friday: Mean Abs March

I have a tendency to save workout ideas on my phone with the intention of trying them out later.  Fast forward 7 months & as I'm browsing the depths of my phone I come across them again.  Hence, today's Fitness Friday post! 

Strawberry Pineapple Protein Smoothie

Is there anything better than a refreshing post-workout smoothie?  Well, ok- maybe lots of things.  I'm looking at you, doughnuts... But in the interest of not reversing all the hard work you just did, here's a healthy & delicious smoothie recipe that's perfect for an after workout boost.

Fitness Friday: 5 Min Leg Workout

Confession: I hate cheery fitness enthusiasts. Mainly because when I'm experiencing a fairly severe stroke & sweating buckets these girls are swishing their picture perfect ponytails while barely breaking a sweat.  I'm looking at you, Anna Renderer. Sure, you look cute in your ad worthy Lululemon attire & perky attitude but homegirl's over here strugglin' & creating enough friction with these thighs to start a fire...

3 Miles in 30 Days Running Program

Hello all & welcome back for another Fitness Friday!

Fitness Friday: Toning Those Arms

Another Friday, another fitness post...

If you're like me, you need some motivating music when you workout so I was really excited to find some new free tunes. 

Fitness Friday: Call Me Maybe Squat Challenge

I really hate the song "Call Me Maybe".  I really hate it when I'm feeling pained.  And I really really really hate cheery, super happy fitness instructors as I'm sweating & ugly crying.

Now that I've gotten all that negativity out...

Mental Health Day

Recently, I've felt myself more stressed & irritated than usual.  I'm chalking it up to extra hours of work during this time of year & general workplace politics.  Either way, I knew that I needed a mental health day.  After checking the weather for my off days, I knew that I needed to take full advantage of the incredible fall weather with a little time outdoors.  I took off to one of my favorite old haunts- Moss Rock Preserve.

Hello all!  I just wanted to bring you a quick workout that will leave your legs buuuuurning.  Skinny jean season is upon us & what better way to rock yours than with toned legs? 

Shaun T's Focus T25

As part of my 30 by 30, I've found myself back in workout mode.  I bore quickly of the standard gym rat routine- treadmill, isolation machines, free weights, yadda yadda yadda... I was looking for a way to workout at home without having to purchase tons of equipment.  I also wanted a way to strengthen my body using calisthenics but without having to dedicate hours out of my day.  Enter T25...
