I've been a personal trainer since 2004. Wow, has it been 10 years already? I guess so. So much has come and gone with fitness trends since then. And I'll be the first to admit, I have probably tried all of them, just for kicks. Heck, I've even been put through a body building program before, and I liked it! But times have changed (for me at least) and I no longer have time ...

A Plyometric Workout You can Do Anywhere
Let’s workout together today, shall we? In honor of WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, I thought I’d walk you through one of my outdoor strength and sweat classes with me. This week we are focusing on plyometric exercises that you can do ANYWHERE, no gym required. Okay, ready to begin? First, everyone gather promptly at 9am outside the gym. Grab a water (if needed) and a strength band ...
Taking your Workout Outdoors
Okay, I think Spring is here to stay. We hit 80F twice this week, which means we’ve been training outdoors almost everyday. That’s a good feeling (minus the allergies). Don’t be jealous, come June it will be 100F in Texas and I’ll be cursing the humidity and hibernating indoors after 10am. Ha ha. The poor kiwi has to train all day in it, so I guess I can’t ...
3 Strength Moves to Improve Your Run Form
It’s been a little over a year now since we've had to deal with injuries. This past brought good health, healing, and being injury free for me and the kiwi. That means something. It means we’re doing something right. It may have took us a long time to find that right (rest and injury prevention), but hey, we were humbled, we learned, and will continue to focus on it That ...
Wednesday Warm-Up: 4 New Running Drills
Wednesday warm-up. Now there's a literal title for you. Anybody else freezing there behind off yet? What am I thinking, of course you are. I've been doing most of my running outdoors on the trails, and I think my body is finally acclimated to the cold weather. I actually enjoyed a nice brisk trail run yesterday in 22°F. That's gotta to be record for me and definitely a ...
Why Every Athlete Needs to EMBRACE an Off Season.
As I sit here typing this post, but Husband is enjoying a coffee date with a friend. A rarity he gets to enjoy during the season. Usually (during training/race season) this time of day is spent on his bike outside followed up by a PM run, etc. But since he's enjoying his off-season, he can take advantage of mid afternoon coffee dates. And I can take advantage of his extra ...

It’s in the Bag
This week, it’s in the bag! Taught my last spin class for the week, totally winged it but worked out quite well. And now I am in need of a serious getaway. Like one where you travel to a beautiful destination, hang out with fabulous women, drink wine, workout or not, eat good food, and laugh. BLEND! I’m so there! And I’ve packed lots of good things in my ...
Training Talk Tuesday and Barleans Greens Giveaway
So, I have a feeling this week is going to be full of product love and appreciation. I’ve been meaning to this for weeks but just got behind. Go figure. Ha!

I’m a sherpa wife to a FULL TIME pro triathlete and running a small gluten free snack ...
Tummy Talk Tuesday
