    Stretches to Open Your Hips

    The more and more I work with my clients, the more and more I understand the need to add in hip flexor mobility movements to their overall training. Hip flexors are important – they attach to your spine and pelvis, and play a big role in your posture. Many people have tight hips and the…

  • Your Hamstrings are Tighter Than You Think

    I am not super religious but take this day (Yom Kippur) to take stock of things and see where I can improve, and think about situations where I could have been kinder, could have helped more, could have been more understanding.  Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement,” and it’s a day set aside to “afflict the soul,” to atone…

  • What A Crazy, Busy Wonderful Weekend We Had

    What a crazy, busy wonderful weekend I had. Friday evening, I met up with some of the awesome people from Highbar CrossFit for a social happy hour/dinner. It’s always fun to be able to talk and hang out outside of the gym because if our coaches had our way, we would always be laser focused…

  • Did You know? Certain Foods Create Mucus

    Although losing an hour in the spring is tough, I feel more energized and in the mood to organize. I have committed to going through closets in the next month and getting them situated. Let’s hope this energy is a sign that my winter blues are drifting away. I am still having asthma fits during…

  • Time to Feel Good Again

    It’s odd to say but Daylight Savings Time doesn’t really bother me. I woke up this morning in a pretty good mood and am not super tired. I wonder if that will last though…. hmmmm? I love getting an extra hour of sunlight to help lighten my mood. Let’s just hope that the whispers of…
