Hey there! Guess what? I’m almost on vacation!!! In just over 24 hours I’ll be off for a full week – I can’t wait! But before I go, I promised to tell you about part three of my summer (and hopefully beyond) fitness plan to find my {fitness} self after spending so many years focused […]
Cruising Into Summer With Sport Chek #SweatBetter
Happy first day of summer!!! I mentioned in my last post that my quest to re-finding my fitness self was going to be a multi-part endeavour. I’ve been plugging away at yoga even if for only 10 minutes at a time since I hit publish last week, but that alone isn’t going to be enough. Since I […]
Your Holistically Hot Transformation
I have been saving the books I’ve read so far this month for another round-up at the end of June, but wanted to write a separate post for Marissa Vicario’s new book “Your Holistically Hot Transformation” for a couple reasons.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music GPS Fitness Watch
Have you ever been out on a walk or run and wished you could use just one device instead of three or four? Personally I use my FitBit, then my Polar M400 for my GPS and heart rate tracking and my phone or iPod for music (and then spend most of my walk or run adjusting headphones). […]
Fitness Friday: La Machete
Holy moly guys, I’m so excited it’s Friday! I feel like I’ve been running around non-stop for the past few weeks so I’m super excited to have a couple days where I don’t have anywhere I need to be. Today’s Fitness Friday video is a warm-up I choreographed to La Machete found on Mega Mix […]
Handful Sports Bras {A Review}
Happy hump day! And now I feel awkward for having written that since I’m talking about a bra today… Anywho, I finally had the chance to check out a brand I’ve heard a lot about over the past few years, but had never tried myself – Handful! How perfect is their tagline? I mean really! […]
