It’s no secret that exercise is vital when it comes to maintaining our overall health. Working out is not only good for our bodies, but our minds and spirits as well. When we put stock into our physical fitness, we set our minds on our total health. I find that, when I take the time […]

Many of us desire to incorporate fitness into our daily routines. We want to be movers, we want to support our bodies, and we want to be able to one day run with our grandkids. But obstacles tend to arise frequently, like time and circumstances. That’s why we like quick and functional workouts like this […]

For many of us, our lifestyles, schedules, and budgets don’t allow us to spend hours at an expensive gym to maintain our exercise needs. It’s just the reality. And while it can be tempting to just throw up our hands and say, “I can’t exercise, I just don’t have the time!”, most of us realize […]

We’ve discussed the optimal post-workout foods for recovery after an intense calorie-burning workout or a hill sprint workout, but did you know you should eat a pre workout snack, too? Most of us need a great boost of energy before hitting the pavement, the gym, or whatever our exercise method may be that day. We want […]

Sure, we would love to have the time to move more intensely for a couple hours each day, but with little ones, work, cooking, cleaning, and self-care on our to-do lists, our days don’t lend much time for extensive gym sessions.

While the health benefits of coffee are still hotly debated, we enjoy waking up to a nice cup of bulletproof coffee to give us a boost of energy for the day. But for those of us who complete a kettlebell exercise or a hill sprint workout in the mornings, we may want to rethink rewarding ourselves […]

I remember my first week of postpartum life after we had our first son. Our natural hospital birth went smoother than we had hoped, and we were able to go home just 24 hours after delivery. I had spent so much time stocking up on items for the postpartum period, including my beloved mama bottom […]

Physical exercise is a great partner of eating well. When our diets are clean, when we’re getting quality sleep, when our body is functioning properly, when we are getting good amounts of vitamins and minerals, and when we are moving, we tend to feel much better than when we are not doing those things. We’ve talked […]

Life can get pretty busy.

But we all know that exercise […]
