Have you ever struggled with finding balance? I don’t know about you… but I’ve always been an “all or nothing” kind of person. If I set my sights on a goal, I become obsessed. A lot of people do this when it comes to getting in shape. They completely turn their life upside down in […]
Rainy Day Home-Workout
It’s a rainy day here in Los Angeles… Sometimes on days like this, I don’t feel much like going out into the cold dampness and heading to my gym. Instead, I prefer to workout in the comfort of my own home. Let’s be honest, I’d actually rather be bundled up in front of a fire […]
MTL Winter Challenge!
During the holidays, it’s easy to let our health and fitness fall by the wayside. Get-togethers with friends and family often include abundant holiday fare and drink. All too often, we take the opportunity to gorge ourselves after being so “good” during the summer months to look cute in our bikinis and LBDs. But honestly, […]
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! As always, make sure to warm up thoroughly beforehand […]
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, […]
Time Crunch Home Workout
As you all know by now, I am a huge advocate of weight training. Having tried so many other forms of exercise including pilates, yoga, kickboxing, step classes, (the list goes on)… the only thing that changed my body dramatically in the shortest amount of time was picking up challenging weights. Not that I am […]
My Beef with the Word “Toned”
For as long as I have been blogging now (a little over 2 years), I’ve come across the word “tone” in just about every question, comment or post that I get. I must admit, even I have tagged my posts with the word, because I know that more often than not, girls find my blog […]
Bulking vs Cutting
So as I promised, I’m finally getting around to blogging about the whole cutting vs bulking thing! I initially made this post on my blog but I got such positive feedback, I thought I’d post it here on my website as well! I got a ton of questions about the concept of bulking vs cutting […]
Leg Day Demolition
Legs Legs Legs I did this workout a couple weeks ago and it left me sore for days! It’s always good to change things up to continually challenge yourself. Our bodies are amazing machines that adapt quickly to their circumstances. If you’ve ever noticed that you had a much easier time doing the same exact […]
Do-Anywhere Plyometric Workout
Ever had one of those days where you seemingly blink and the day is half-gone? You make plans, and find that other obligations get in the way? Sometimes I admit, it’s hard to make time for the gym… but that doesn’t mean you can’t fit in a exercise at home! You can literally do this […]
