I had the opportunity to do a fundraising challenge and ended up getting myself to run 9 miles at the end of the challenge. As I ran, I remembered why I don’t run too often. It hurts and I don’t find It too fun. But, running that long, and at
I hope we can figure out the answer to this one. I am also a little upset that I have to write this. Over the past few years there has been a huge push of women emerging into weight training and getting great results from It. Powerful, strong women promoting the

When I first started as a coach there was a craze of fitness trends that focused highly on cardio, or just moving fast. The orangetheories, spin classes, bootcamp classes, were all over the place. My first coach always preached “strength first” and that resonated with me. Even with a big pull
Underrated. Very underrated. Extremely underrated. Push-ups are a STAPLE exercise and they seem to be skipped out on in most workout programs. It is hard to gauge who can/can’t do push-ups in an online program fashion but for even individual programs they don’t seem to come around as often. We love
New and flashy exercises drive better results. True? False? Sorry to say, that is false. The majority of results will come from doing the most simple things over and over again. Getting good at these “simple” things is the true gamechanger. The new exercise or new “insane” workout plan is not
