Please note: This giveaway has ended. For my second giveaway, I’m switching gears and giving away a one-month subscription to a daily workout program called the 12-minute metabolism booster! And I will tell you all about the subscription and workouts, but first I need to tell you about the woman who designed them. Katie Hart […]
Happy February! I hope you made it through January with all of your resolutions and plans for 2018 intact. But if not, don’t freak out. There’s nothing magical about January 1! If you want to make some kind of change or create a healthy habit in your life, you can start right now. Or tomorrow. […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but if you’re anything like me, you haven’t crossed everyone off your shopping list yet. Today, I wanted to share some suggestions for the fitness fan in your life, whether she loves running, obstacle racing, yoga, swimming, or barre. And, because I love you, I’m giving away […]
After months of wanting to try [solidcore], Toby and I finally made it to the Old Town studio recently. Even after three classes, I don’t think I can adequately describe what it is. They used to have a video on their site, but what I’ll tell you is this: In less than five minutes, there was […]
Unfortunately the universe has been conspiring against me for the past few years, so I haven’t been able to do a Spartan Race yet, but one of my BFFs, Aaren, has now run two (because she’s a bad ass!). I asked her to write about her experience to give you an idea of what to […]
You may have heard about Orangetheory Fitness, a new type of workout studio with locations all over the country. A friend of mine in California had told me about it, but I didn’t get the chance to try it before we moved to DC. However, there is a studio near my office and they offer […]
Toby and my dad have been fans of spinning for several years. I… have not. If you’re not familiar, spinning or cycling classes involve an instructor guiding a class full of people on stationary bikes through a series of “jumps,” “hills,” sprints and other movements that simulate riding a bike outside, without having to manuever […]
It’s January, which means many of us have rededicated ourselves to getting off the couch and hitting the gym. The only problem is that far too many workout clothes seem to be made for professional athletes or fitness models, and don’t quite work properly on those of us with body fat percentages in the double […]
Have you been wanting to try barre classes but weren’t sure if you could do it? Or maybe you’re just not sure if you want to invest in an expensive package before trying it out. Regardless, I wanted to share some things I’ve learned from going to barre classes at several different studios over the […]
Nike’s NTC Tour made its only stop in the U.S. in April — and because it was just up the road in Los Angeles, I pretty much had to go. The only problem? I had no idea what to expect. It was scheduled for almost six hours (ending at midnight!) on a Saturday night in […]
