Today I want to talk a little bit about finding what works for you. These days, you hear a lot people talking about going Paleo and how much it has helped them with health concerns, weight loss, etc. and swear by it. I’ve read lots of tweets/Facebook statuses about how different people claim it is […]
Valley Harvest Marathon Kids Run
Last weekend when I ran the Valley Harvest 5K I wasn’t the only member of my family who go involved in the race weekend. My 9 year old nephew Andrew participated in the kid’s run on Saturday. It was his first “race” and when I picked him up Saturday afternoon he announced, “I’m as nervous […]
Fibromyalgia and Fitness: Changing Seasons
This past week I’ve been really struggling with my fibromyalgia due to the weather starting to change from summer into fall. I think everyone feels this to a certain extent, we start coming down with colds and it’s getting dark earlier. We all feel tired and want to nap and eat. I always feel like […]
The Preview for Volume 41 is Here!
Remember back in June when I road tripped it with a bunch of Zumba Instructors to ZIN Day in Toronto? One of the major perks to going to ZIN Day was being in the live taping of ZIN 41 which is coming out next month! For those of you who aren’t Zumba Instructors, ZIN stants […]
Exercise Technique: Modifications
As a fitness instructor I heart exercise modifications. I love that with a few small adjustments you can make an exercise accessable to someone who cannot do the traditional version for whatever reason. Sometimes modifications make exercises more difficult, sometimes they make them easier, sometimes they make part of the exercise easier while making another […]
Chobani SoHo
When I heard that a Chobani yogurt bar had opened up in SoHo the week before I was heading to New York, I knew I had to check it out. We’re still living in a Chobani-less world here in Nova Scotia so anytime I head to the US I always make sure to get my […]
In A New York Minute
BlogHer 2012 is over and I’m back home. Okay, so it was less like a minute and more like 23 hours of sitting around in the Newark airport alone after all flights to Halifax were cancelled. Either way, I am back in the good old Nova Scotia! I’ve got a lot that I want to […]
The Best Homemade Granola!
If there is one thing I like it’s granola. Well no that’s not true, if I was just going to choose one food to like it would probably be pizza but, I do really like granola! However, I’m not always fan of the store-bought kind. So what is a girl to do? Make her own […]
An Intro To: Hip Hop Hustle
Happy Friday folks! I can’t believe it’s been a week since I left for Toronto (look for my official post re-cap of ZIN Day this weekend). Tomorrow morning I am beginning to teach a new class format called Hip Hop Hustle. For any of you familiar with Chalene Johnson, it’s one of the formats she […]
The Beauty of Zumba
Tonight was a double Zumba night for me. Well, really most week nights are double Zumba nights, but whatever. First up was class at Acadia I did actually pin my bangs back before class. Anytime I leave my bangs down is a total disaster. It’s a weird time of year for fitness classes. Aside from […]
