Fabletics’ ads have been peppered throughout my Facebook newsfeed for years now.  I’ve always been curious about the brand, and from time to time I’ve clicked through to their website to look around. But I was wary of the VIP membership, and the discounts seemed a bit too good to be true, so I resisted the temptation to buy for many moons. Until a couple of weeks ago. Which is when Fabletics had a massive sale on their site, offering 70% everything. I’m not sure how common these kinds of sales are, but on this occasion, the sale caught my eye. Maybe because earlier that same day, I had just…

If you have followed this blog at all, you will already know that I am an avid Jillian Michaels fan.  Her workout programs are tough, engaging, and perhaps most importantly – effective. By now, I have completed many of her programs, including her well-known DVDs 30 Day shred and Ripped in 30.  But perhaps the most epic program of all is Body Revolution. This is a 12-week program that was originally released on DVD back in 2012, but even though it is 8 years old I only came across it recently via her fitness app. I recently completed this beast of a program and not only have I survived to…

Although I already have my shortlist of favorite, go-to fitness apps, I like to mix it up and try new things now and then to keep things fresh. Sure enough, about mid-spring this year, I started itching for something different again. I’d had my eye on 8Fit for a while and so when they had a special offer on their annual plan, I snapped it up. I’ve had about a month to try out their pro version and thought I would bring you this 8Fit review in case you’ve been curious about it!

As far as fitness goes, I find I always come back to the tried and true things. Such as Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred. I just started doing these workouts again recently, partly from nostalgia, and partly because I remembered what a great butt-kicking they gave me.  And although the Shred is 12 years old, it still holds up as an effective way to get in shape – to an extent.  Since it’s still a popular program, I thought I’d bring you this 30 Day Shred review to help you decide if it’s right for you to try! If you don’t have time to read the whole thing, I have…

Let’s get real about something: a lot of us don’t have a ton of motivation to work out right now. Honestly, I’m feeling it too. Home workouts have always been my jam, but after a month in isolation, it’s hard not to let the psychological effects weigh you down. Yet, for that very reason, it’s more important than ever to keep up with exercise. Not only is it great for boosting your mental health, it’s also key to maintaining an optimal immune system, even if you’re isolating. But for me, following something too structured or intense is a little out of reach right now. ** My blog posts contain affiliate…

You’ve probably already heard that a regular yoga practice comes with a lot of health benefits; improved posture, flexibility, mobility, and balance, to name a few.  But did you know it also complements any fitness regime beautifully? Regular stretching helps you stave off injury, and as you improve your range of motion, you get better at your workouts!  I started practicing yoga over ten years ago and although it’s not my primary form of exercise, I do like to accent my fitness routine with a few yoga sessions to help stretch out tight muscles or relieve stress from the day.  I used to attend a yoga studio years ago, but…
