The Exercise-Hater’s Ultimate Guide to Fitness Motivation
Introduction Over the past several months, I’ve posted a lot about exercise motivation and forming positive healthy habits.

So I’ve written this comprehensive (and slightly…

11 Resume Tips to Keep Your Application From Getting Passed Over
I know resume tips aren’t that exciting, but lets talk about it anyway. Because although few people enjoy writing resumes, no one enjoys reading them either. I sure didn’t, back when I used to vet and hire candidates. Hiring managers typically sort through hundreds of resumes per position. It’s overwhelming to say the least. To carefully peruse each one is…

Side-Hustle Income Report: Q4 2018
2018 has been a pretty intense year for me, in more ways than one. There’s been some pretty big ups and downs, and a lot to reflect on. But I’m also looking forward to starting the new year and hopefully making it the best yet! As 2018 winds down, I decided to compile my first-ever side-hustle income report and put…

Transformative New Year’s Resolution Ideas That Will Stick
There seems to be two extremes when it comes to New Year’s resolution ideas: Those who think they’re pointless, and those who hang all their hopes and dreams on them. (And usually give up on them within days.) I think somewhere in the middle is where the magic can happen. Yes, personal development is something you can (and should) focus…

Making a Lifestyle Change – 7 Lessons Learned After a Year of HIIT
This weekend marks one year since I made a lifestyle change to include regular HIIT workouts into my weekly routine.

The Lunchtime HIIT Workout: How to Make it Work for You
As a busy nine-to-fiver, you already know how hard it is to fit anything into your work week besides work. So the idea of a lunchtime HIIT workout session might seem laughable to you at first.

Does Walking for Weight Loss and Counting Steps Really Work?
In recent years, I’ve become a huge advocate of walking for weight loss. In 2016, I was gifted my first fitness tracker for Christmas. It was a Fitbit Charge 2, and I immediately became obsessed with it, and “getting my steps in.” I was constantly competing in step challenges with my friends, which had me pacing around my house at…

At its core, The Fit Careerist is about discovering how to be successful in life. And so although this is a deeply personal post and different from the type of content I usually write, I believe it is the most important one yet.

7 Unique Benefits of Cycling and Spinning (Why its One of the Best Workouts!)
I didn’t really consider all the benefits of cycling and spinning until this year. That’s because up until quite recently, I was a total running snob. At my peak in 2013, I was running over 40 km a week. I remember one warm May day that year, I ran a half-marathon in the morning and then spent all afternoon gardening.…

Why I Don’t Follow a Strict Diet (And What I Do Instead)
You’re not going to see a lot of posts from me about diet and healthy food. Don’t get me wrong, I think a healthy diet is really important. But here’s the problem: my healthy diet might not look like your healthy diet. I truly don’t believe there is an ultimate, one-size-fits-all diet. That’s because we all have our unique likes,…
