My Favorite Treadmill for Small Spaces

Are you living in a house that doesn't have a designated room or space for home exercise equipment?Do you live in a climate where exercising outside for a good portion of the year just isn't ideal?When thinking about moving daily, what is a simple way to be successful?Have you considered a treadmill?Here are my answers. I DO have a designated studio for home exercise, BUT there is no window. During those months when the climate is not optimal for walking outside, it's nice to have a smaller treadmill to use that doesn't lord over my entire living room/dining room. Walking [...]

5 of my favorite companies (and discounts for you!)

You've heard all about "influencers" and "brand ambassadors." Maybe you know them as "affiliates". I'm none of these. I'm just a girl. Standing in front of a company. Asking it to give discounts to her friends. (Ok, really. I'm all of them. I just wanted to use that line from Notting Hill.) But that is kinda sorta how it happened. With me standing in front of specific products. First with an online meal-planning/recipe-organizing site. Then protein bars. There was the planner I fell in love with. And the monthly Instagram training membership. Followed by the most luscious body scrub I've [...]

“I’m sorry I’m late” is the only response to showing up late

Listen. I get it. Personal development gurus offer us a ton of great ways to choose positive speech in uncomfortable situations. And for the most part, I actually love many of their suggestions - a few of which I may even blog about. But there is one phrase that just needs to go. As in . . . GO. Because it's selfish. It fails to take into account that others have been inconvenienced by our actions. The phrase could even be considered a form of gaslighting. I'm not being dramatic. You're just late for the party - and exactly who [...]

10 common fitness myths you can stop believing

No introduction. Let's get right to busting 10 of the most common fitness myths. 1. Ab crunches will flatten the belly. One can perform crunches daily, but spot reduction is a myth. Without proper attention given to one's overall diet, inches will not magically melt from the belly area. 2. Cardio is the best way to burn fat. Cardio is necessary, but not King. Lifting weights increases the metabolism (research has shown up to 15%) as lean muscle burns more calories than fat.  Resistance training is especially important for women in their late 30's and 40's when the metabolism needs [...]
