Beginner’s Guide to Fitness
I often get asked by girls who have never eaten healthy or worked out before.. where to start! I totally get how overwhelming it can be! Here are some basic tips I have for those JUST starting out on a health and fitness journey!
Fit Body Weight-Lifting Program
I created The Fit Body Program for girls who want to take their fitness to the next level. It’s designed for those who are relatively new to lifting weights and want to not only get in the best shape of their lives, but learn how to design their very own workouts as well! This program is 12 weeks long and broken up into phases that build upon one another to keep you from plateauing. The workouts are fun and challenging!
Bikini Body Home-Workout Program
The Bikini Body Program is designed for every woman… from busy mom’s, to college students, to business women. It is for ladies who are interested in creating a healthy lifestyle and getting in the best shape of their lives! All the workouts in this program can be done at home OR in a gym with minimal equipment. They are built into 3 phases that build upon one another. Each phase is more challenging than the last, to keep you from plateauing!

5 Tips for Succeeding at Your Healthy Goals!
We all make mistakes. We stumble, we fall, we slip-up now and then. Guess what…. we’re human and that is perfectly NORMAL. What’s not normal, is expecting to be perfect, all day, everyday.

A Warning to Runners
What comes to mind when most people think of runners is smiling, fit people. Unfortunately, that is not always the case! Many runners may be doing more harm than good and although I do enjoy my runs, but there can be some negative side effects if that’s the only form of exercise you do. Skinny fat? Increased visibility of cellulite? Injuries? Read on to find out why running increases your chance for these and more!
Bulking vs Cutting
I’ve gotten a lot of questions regarding the difference between bulking vs cutting. I explain the difference between those two in this article!
Why the Scale Sucks
The scale seems to be the “be all end all” for many women. I know firsthand how easy it is to become discouraged or even obsessed with the number. I’m here to tell you that the number on that scale is NOT the “be all end all” when it comes to your health OR your appearance!
Should Men and Women Workout Differently?
I can’t help but notice when I enter the gym, that the cardio section is primarily filled with women, and the men occupy the majority of the weight room. From the outside looking in, it may seem as though there is a fundamental difference in the way men and women should be training. This; however, is not the case. Read on to find out why!
How to Fit Exercise Into a Busy Day
A busy schedule is something most of us have had to deal with at one point or another. Don’t let that be a deterrent to reaching your health and fitness related goals. Top fitness models and competitors still manage to make time to compete, train and eat well, despite being parents, students and having full-time jobs! You can do it… here are some tips on how!
Dorm Room Cardio Workout
Sometimes as students (or even just busy-bees) we find ourselves with little to no time left-over to get to the gym! Don’t let that be an excuse not to fit in a little exercise! You can complete an intense, effective workout in a short amount of time… you don’t always need tons of time or fancy equipment to get the job done! Try my dorm room workout when you’re in a pinch!
Time Crunch Home Workout
Realistically, it can be difficult to get to the gym sometimes… Extreme weather, kids at home with no babysitter, a full-time job and full-time schoolwork. Sometimes we just can’t get to a gym. In those situations, don’t let that be an excuse not to get a workout in. A one-hour workout is only 4% of your day!
Take It To The Track Workout
No gym? No problem! Unfortunately not everyone has access to a gym 24/7. The good news is, you don’t need a ton of equipment to get a good workout in! This track workout is challenging, fun and will leave you nice and sore if done right!
