    Freeletics Review – New & Improved Features Raise the Bar on Home Fitness Apps

    July 17, 2020 /

    For the past few years, I’ve been a total fitness app junkie. I have always loved the convenience of being able to work out from home with just my trusty exercise mat and phone. But these days, the home workout trend is more popular than ever.  In fact, according to a recent survey organized by Freeletics (via Onepoll) 74% of Americans have used at least one fitness app since quarantine began – and for 41% of them, it was their first time using one.  It makes sense. On one hand, working out at home is obviously safer during this global crisis. But people are starting to find that home workouts…

    I’ve been interested in the Centr app by Chris Hemsworth since it came out last year.

    Low-Intensity Exercise: How to Tone Up by Toning it Down

    December 17, 2018 /

    Low-intensity exercise tends to get overshadowed by the high-intensity variety, such as HIIT. (High-intensity interval training.) It’s not hard to see why; we live in the society where everyone is eternally crunched for time. Anything that promises the best results in the least amount of time is going to win over a lot of people. ** My blog posts contain affiliate links, which means that I may earn a commission on purchases you make after clicking on those links.

    November 15, 2018 /

    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. It doesn’t help that sometimes you need to run errands on your lunch or something unexpected comes up that prevents you from even taking a lunch hour. I get it. But believe it or not, lunchtime workouts are not impossible! And with all the benefits, it’s worth considering adding a lunch hour workout into your weekly routine now and then.

    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…

    7 Unique Benefits of Cycling and Spinning (Why its One of the Best Workouts!)

    August 26, 2018 /

    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. I wasn’t even sore the next day. But those glorious days are long gone. A couple months later, a nagging pain in my hip cropped up that wouldn’t quit with stretching or rest. It’s a chronic issue I’m still dealing with today and has limited how much high impact exercise…

    Why I Don’t Follow a Strict Diet (And What I Do Instead)

    August 19, 2018 /

    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, dislikes, and body chemistry. If avocados make you ralph, then your diet shouldn’t include avocados. Not to mention you can drive yourself crazy debating what healthy foods actually are. You can Google “is [any food] healthy” and “is [same food] unhealthy” and get any number of articles supporting both sides. …

    A few weeks ago, we talked about how you don’t need a gym membership or a paid fitness program to get fit – you achieve fitness entirely on your own, in the comfort of your home. Aside from the cost savings, working out at home has other benefits. There’s more privacy, less commuting time, and you can blast whatever music you want without needing to channel it through headphones. The beauty of a home fitness space is that you can design it any way you want. It can have all the bells and whistles, or just the at-home gym essentials.  I’ve tried a ton of products over the years and…

    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…
