Live Fit and Sore

Intention matters!

Probably like 11 years ago, when I was home on maternity leave with Hannah I watched this daytime reality show called Starting Over. Anyone out there remember it? Six women live together for 10 weeks as they try to make significant personal changes with the help of `life coaches’ and other experts. The women all…

Progress means Changing

Yesterday morning, I tried some Hot Yoga for Beginners at Flow Yoga in Ashburn. It was challenging for sure, but not as hard as I thought it would be. All that mobility that I do – day in and out – seems to work. I definitely need to work on flexibility and mobility though so…

Perspective and Perception

Keep Cool and Hydrated

It’s getting hot and humid so the first thing I want to do is remind everyone to HYDRATE! One of the guys this AM blacked out a bit while doing his back squat because of dehydration. It’s no joke. I have been using Nuun in my water to make sure I have enough electrolytes. Saturday during…

Sweat Angel Inducing Workout

I have had quite a lot of experience the past few months with change – and the phrase get comfortable being uncomfortable has been put to the test. First the changing of the gym, which in the end has turned out great. I have realized that I was not happy for quite some time but…
