Confessions of a Fitness Instructor

Cut Yourself Some Slack

I never learn. Well, that’s not entirely true, I do learn, but then something happens and I find myself going back and doing the exact thing I already learned I shouldn’t do. The packaging might be a little bit different, but the end result is always the same. I’m working myself to death. I need […]

IBS: The Food Frustration

It’s ironic (or maybe it’s not) that as I sit down to write this post on the frustrations of eating with IBS, my belly is bloated, feels awful and is making all sorts of weird gurgling sounds. After last month’s post talking about how my IBS has decided to flair-up after being pretty quiet and […]

A New Body Sculpt Video: Chest Focus

It’s another crazy Thursday in Suzi-ville (Thursdays = 5 fitness classes, oye.) so this is going to be a quick one! Since it’s Thursday I’ve got a new video to share with you, this is another Body Sculpt song, this one is a chest focus!   The video seems to be in better focus than the […]

Finding Time For What You Enjoy

Happy hump day y’all! Actually it’s quite late on Tuesday as I type this (gasp! This is a scheduled post!), but I’m happy that it’s almost Wednesday. Why? Because I’ve decided it is time to take Wednesday back. Where did it go you ask? Well I’m not sure it went anywhere, but so far this […]

Your Workout Is In YOUR Hands

I thought I’d take a few minutes today to talk about something that drives me a bit bonkers from time to time and that is taking responsibility for your workout. I think I’ve written about this before, but it is worth writing about again. When you go to a fitness class there is the expectation […]
