Tips from the experts on increasing Instagram reach

I'm an Instagram enthusiast. Encouraged to join the platform almost 3 years ago by a younger gal (STAHP. Not too much younger, but . . . OK, sigh, definitely younger) I will now heartedly admit: I like it there. For two and a half of those years, I wasn't really "good" at Instagram. I didn't know what I was doing, supposed to do, or how to do whatever "it" was. Knowing that I wanted to utilize the platform more effectively to make connections for my business, I decided it was time to pony up and learn from the experts. Ah, [...]

Questions to ask before starting a fitness journey after a year from hell

We all experienced 2020. By no means was it the same for everyone. For many, the 1st anniversary of a pandemic sweeping through our world, our states, our towns, and our homes, will come with much to process. We may even be surprised at how difficult March 2021 may feel. Maybe you are feeling a stirring to get moving again after some legitimate time away. Or, maybe you simply want to get started for the first time. Let's address both. Gently. Here are the first thoughts that seem to go through my client’s heads when they decide the game is [...]

Fitness and nutrition information overload? Follow these experts!

Guess where we tend to get the majority of our information about fitness and nutrition? And, not surprisingly, our confusion? Can you take a guess? The Internet. More specifically, social media and blogs. Yikes. Dream a little dream . . . With a computer and a dream, anyone can be an expert in fitness and nutrition. Heck, even I'm included in that group when years ago, as I started my own fitness journey, I suddenly found myself in the awkward position of being asked advice I had no business offering. Chalk it up to enthusiasm, but I shudder as I'm [...]

Turning in my “Coffee Snob” card

My husband dared me to share this. I scoffed. "I can't possibly!" But I've now gone 2 days without a particular product, first shared with me by a friend of mine, who also doesn't want to openly admit they've moved to the mass-produced "dark-side", and I miss it. Terribly. Let's go back a year. The pandemic was just showing signs of actually being something to pay attention to, rumors of stay-at-home-orders and shut-downs lingered, and my parents were just about to board a ship for a 21-day South Pacific cruise embarking from Sydney. Meh. While I hit up Aldi like [...]

Virtual fitness classes are here to stay

March 20, 2020. My first virtual class. We may be rounding the bend of the yearly anniversary when all the world went virtual, but that doesn't mean our collective online existence will be completely disappearing anytime soon. Take fitness classes, for example. Some people just like the convenience of staying home. As one who never planned to teach group fitness classes online, even though I got my start in fitness via home DVD programs and still use an enormous streaming platform for my personal workouts, teaching live from my basement was never the plan. Sometimes, we don't know [...]
