Workout Wednesday: Stability Ball Routine

March 2, 2016

With New Year’s resolutions still fresh in our minds I know some of you are planning to get back on your mat or back in the gym more often this year. For me, getting to the gym isn’t about working towards the “perfect body” - spoiler alert: there is no such thing. I drag myself to the gym because I know there are a multitude of health benefits from staying active. Plus, I always feel on-top of the world when I strut myself right out that gym door after a killer workout - nothing can beat that post-gym high.

Workout Wednesday: Maintaining Progress

February 24, 2016

We're back with another Workout Wednesday and I have to be honest - over the past few months this has easily become one of my favorite series. This journey has been a really great learning process and I've enjoyed connecting with you guys and sharing my ups and downs along the way.

I recently received the following question and I thought I'd take the opportunity in answering it to share an update about maintaining the progress I'd made:

Workout Wednesday: How to Deal with Torn Hands

A few weeks ago, I was in Miami for a private series of workshops and a bachelorette party. I was in prep mode for my book's photoshoot, so I hit up my friend's gym Focused Movement Academy.

Workout Wednesday: Exercise Pole

February 10, 2016

Have you ever seen the pole dancers on instagram? Their strength is incredible and their movement is so beautiful. When I'd watch them, it'd almost seem like they were practicing yoga but on a different surface. I thought, "I'm strong. I can do that."

Workout Wednesday: Jump Rope Warm-Up

February 3, 2016

I love jump roping the way Vince Vaughn's character likes maple syrup in The Wedding Crashers. I love how light weight jump ropes are, how you can easily throw them into your carry on and get a good cardio burner in while on the road.

1 - 5 - 1 Burpee Party

January 27, 2016

Blogging is tough in that you really do need to hustle in order to make ends meet. But it also comes with many perks - one of which is trying out new products before they hit the market. When OMsignal reached out to us to try this wearable technology (essentially a sports bra with a bluetooth attachable piece that connects to an app on your phone), I was all for it. The app is super helpful and gives all sorts of data from your current heart rate, calories burned, and a push score for lifters so you can see your level of exertion. It seemed pretty cool so I put it to the test and created a quick burpee party video. Not as terrible as the push up parties, which I think we can all agree are the #worstpartiesever, but the burpee party will get your heart rate up and work the entire body.
