    Making a Lifestyle Change – 7 Lessons Learned After a Year of HIIT

    November 25, 2018 /

    This weekend marks one year since I made a lifestyle change to include regular HIIT workouts into my weekly routine. It all started on Black Friday of last year when the (affiliate link->) Bodyboss Method was having a sale on their 12-week HIIT program. And although I finished that program a long time ago, I have continued to incorporate other HIIT workouts into my routine and consistently exercise five days a week. This is the first time that I’ve stayed consistent for a full year! If you’re looking to make a lifestyle change, here are  seven things I’ve learned in the past 12 months that have helped me make the…

    Does Walking for Weight Loss and Counting Steps Really Work?

    November 8, 2018 /

    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 all hours. As someone who had slipped into a mostly sedentary lifestyle, it was just the gift I needed to get me moving again. And who knew walking could be such fun! Maybe you’re in that boat now, and thinking about counting steps or walking for weight loss. But does…

    Why I Haven’t Been Sick in 4 Years!

    October 14, 2018 /

    The last bug I caught was a doozy. I had gone five years without calling in sick for work, and then just days into a new job, I came down with the worst throat infection I’d ever experienced! I had to miss several days of work because the pain and fever were so bad that I could hardly get out of bed. The bug weakened my immune system so much that even when I recovered from the worst of it, I kept catching new viruses and was pretty much constantly sick for three months straight. That was four years ago. And, perhaps miraculously, I haven’t been sick since! Oh, there…

    Why Motivation for Fitness Starts with Mindset

    July 30, 2018 /

    I had no motivation for fitness in my younger years, but I had been blessed with a relatively high metabolism back then. It was something a shock when the weight started to creep on in my mid-twenties.  It started innocently enough. A couple of pounds gained over the holidays. A size up in pants each time I went shopping. But then I started to feel sluggish, unmotivated, and struggled with long stretches of low mood that bordered on depression. I attributed it all to the normal stresses of life. Then I got on the scale one day in my early thirties and realized that a decade of working a desk…

    How to Create a Free HIIT Workout Plan (That’s Insanely Effective!)

    July 15, 2018 /

    A free workout plan sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? That’s because there’s a ton of gyms and paid fitness programs out there that want you to think you need them to get in shape. Don’t get me wrong, I love a well-structured paid program as much as the next person! I’ve had fantastic success with some of them. They are great if you have no idea where to start and need something that holds your hand each step of the way. They are also ideal for finding communities of like-minded people and learning new strategies. But if you’re on a budget, you can 100% DIY your own…
