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 […]

Around here, we’re all about quick and effective exercise hacks. 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. That’s why we are […]

My sister-in-law is my hero and prime example when it comes to consistent exercise. Despite her busy schedule, she always finds a way to fit in some sort of exercise or movement during the day. Even while traveling, she takes advantage of the hotel gym or takes in the beauty of her new surroundings by […]

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. Between fostering our family lives, running our kids to and fro, making our own food and personal care products, working, and enjoying some down time (what is that?), it’s difficult to find large chunks of time during our day to care for our fitness. But we all know that exercise […]

When you’re on the go, it can be difficult to schedule in time to exercise. If you go to a gym, then you have to tack on even extra time for transportation to and from. This is why we’re big fans of working out for free. We love completing stability ball exercises and hill sprints […]

Perhaps the most used excuse to avoid cultivating our physical fitness is the fact that we’re too busy. We put off getting into an exercise routine because “there’s just so much going on right now”. We vow to start exercising next week or next month. But then next week and next month roll around and […]

Walking is one of the simplest ways to say in shape. There are numerous benefits to walking, and completing a walking workout is something that most people can realistically accomplish with little skill and time. Walking is also a great way to get some fresh air, clear your mind, and rejuvenate your soul. Some of the […]
