Just Keep Shoveling

This Fitness Style Is Not For You
I had the pleasure of watching a morning news program on the television while at the gym this morning. It had a New Year’s Resolution theme to it and so of course they had a fitness trainer come and share her new 100%-guaranteed-to-work gadget with the television host. It looked similar to this. […]

5 Things That Increase Wellness
I slept in today. Finally! With a job that starts at 5am most mornings my body clock kind of has me whipped, even on weekends when I don’t work. While lying there, enjoying my morning coffee and a local magazine called Mint, I thought to myself, “This brings me joy. It gives me a […]
Sleep, Glorious Sleep.
I think the majority of humans are in the same boat when it comes to sleep. When we don’t get enough, it can alter every aspect of our day! When I train clients who have had 8 hours of sleep vs those who have had 5 or less, the difference in their energy, drive and […]
