For a few months, I’ve been toiling away to create something that I feel is really missing in the home-fitness universe: A 4-week workout plan for weight loss, no equipment required – but that’s DOABLE for beginners and people who are struggling with time, budget, and motivation to work out consistently. Something simple but effective.  Something that skips the overwhelm and puts emphasis on motivation and encourages progress over perfection. That incorporates strength, cardio, and the power of easy physical activity throughout the week.  And that something… is finally here!  I’m so excited to introduce: Serial Starter Fix: 28 Doable days to better fitness.  You can head on over here…

It’s true the leaves are only just starting to change, but the reality is the holidays are right around the corner. It’s definitely not too soon to start thinking about what gifts to get for your friends and family. But the fitness nut on your list can be a bit tricky, especially if you’re on a budget. The good news is that, while there is no shortage of pricey equipment and gadgets, there are most more cost-effective options out there that the athletes in your life will love.  So whether you want to get an early jump on holiday shopping or need a last-minute idea, take a gander at the 21…

We’re only just entering the last quarter of 2020, but I say it’s not too early to start looking forward to a happy and healthy new year (especially considering how this year turned out!) Of course, there’s no time like the present to make positive changes so you don’t have to wait until January to start working towards your fitness goals. Either way, I have been working on a free resource to help you stay on top of your long-term wellness goals: a fitness and weight loss calendar! Short-term goals are important too, but establishing long-term goals ensures you keep progressing and that you are treating your fitness journey as…

For the last few years, I’ve made a point of living a pretty active lifestyle. And for all that time, I’ve been pretty healthy, even relatively fit.  But there has always been that last 5 pounds of “fluff”. It has no effect on my health, but it’s just… there. It’s been a symbol of my fitness plateau that’s pretty much lasted for three years. But now, for the first time ever, I feel like I finally making progress! While I am still (and always will be) a “work in progress”, I’ve never been stronger or leaner than I am now and I feel like I’ve finally found a strategy that…

How to Parse Through a Plethora of Fitness Information Without Getting Confused, Misguided, or Overwhelmed Lately, I’ve been on a real reading kick. In particular, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about longevity. And one of the recurring topics that appear again and again is intermittent fasting (or IF).   So in turn, I’ve been reading a lot about IF and it’s role in health and fitness.  And my word, there’s a lot of information out there to wade through.  Which sent me back to those days when I used to read other kinds of fitness advice and feel completely overwhelmed by how much information there is…

It will happen. It happens to me. It happens to everyone: Missing a workout, two workouts, or even a whole week of workouts.  And when it happens, you might be wondering what the ramifications are.  Did you lose any gains? Do you double up on your next training day? Should you just say “screw it” and flip on some Netflix? What to do if you miss a workout or two? In my experience, recovery from a missed workout is more mental than physical. So many times, we expect perfection of ourselves, but refusing to cut yourself some slack will only result in a blow to your motivation. These are the…
