Food shouldn't have to be BAD vs. GOOD or a reward vs. something to fear.
It is not the enemy. It is not a reward or a punishment.
It is nourishment that enables us to roam and travel the world, our tastebuds to be thrilled, our brains to create and think, our bodies to run, jump, dance, love, and live in all expressions possible...

There are 3 major components to overall physical well-being: Movement, Nutrition, and Recovery. People are really starting to get on that movement and nutrition train, but I would say that pretty much everyone is lacking in the regeneration department. Sleep/regeneration is the glue that keeps all three together. Let’s talk about why you should be prioritizing sleep above all, and HOW to do it:

The amount of times that I say out loud how I wish I had two bodies or two pairs of hands is a bit obnoxious. I have become the queen of multitasking and can easily type with one hand on my laptop while scrolling through my Twitter feed on my phone, while talking to my friend.
While that skill is something I would have boasted about back in college, I now actually despise my tendency to do this and the fact that I do this far more frequently than I would like.

The world of fitness among professionals is unfortunately still a lot like the cafeteria cliques that Mean Girls describes. But instead of the varsity jocks, burnouts, cool Asians and Asian nerds, we have personal trainers, group fitness instructors, pilates instructors, and...

A few months ago, I started writing a version of this article. Then it started getting really intense (started using way too many expletives) and I left it be for awhile to sort out my thoughts. But then this Renee Zellweger thing blew...

Last week, I kicked off this "Build-a-Booty" series, thinking it was going to be two posts total. Now, I'm thinking it'll be more like three or maybe four posts, since I got...

Out of the problematic social phenomenons in our world, I think one of our worst is the lack of caring- or let me rephrase: the caring is there but for so long now we have been encouraged to play it cool and act blasé or indifferent. So when we're faced with actually showing feelings, we are paralyzed in fear of putting ourselves out there and actually revealing that we give a shit.

I wasn't even sure I was going to do a post on the plank because the majority of people seem to be doing it nowadays and understanding that the crunch belongs in the 90's. But then I realized I still...
