Intuitive eating and exercise are ubiquitous within the healthy living circle—and for good reason. Let me disclose that I’m not a trained fitness or nutrition professional, but even I can attest (mostly from personal experience) that a diet and exercise routine too regimented and predictable isn’t very good for you. I think most people would…

Aaptiv Review: How Busy Moms Can Stay Fit (& Have Fun!)
Exercise doesn’t have to be complicated with Aaptiv, an affordable fitness app for any lifestyle and fitness level. With its new maternity and postnatal program, Aaptiv is perfect for new (and not-so-new) moms! A little over a year ago, I wrote about how motherhood has changed my approach to fitness. You can read that post…
How Motherhood Has Changed My Approach To Fitness
Hey friends! How’s your Thursday shaping up? I am loving how quickly this week has gone by thanks to the Labor Day holiday. And, after a week of battling some type of allergy attack or cold (leaning toward cold), I’m glad I made it back to the gym after a 2-week hiatus. The only bad…
Is Your Motivation Healthy or Harmful?
If you’re a blog reader, TV junkie, or magazine subscriber, you’ve probably been inundated with tips for finding the motivation to stick to a fitness routine. Or maybe you are a health coach or fitness instructor and have a long list of go-to talking points to motivate your own clients. If you open your eyes…
Vacations & Working Out
I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m in the minority when I say this (at least among healthy living bloggers and HLB-readers) but…when I travel, I don’t work out. At least not intentionally. For me, travel is about relaxing, sight-seeing, and taking a break from my “normal life.” It means eating foods I don’t eat…
How to Overcome a Fitness Rut
Sometimes I really envy my friends and “blends” who are personal trainers and/or fitness instructors. While I know their lifestyle can be incredibly tough (early and late hours training clients, working on commission, eating on the go, and having to commute to various gigs in different parts of town), I often wish I had the…
Why I Love Cardio Barre At The Y
If you’ve been reading for the last couple of months, you’ve heard me mention Cardio Barre a time or two (or twenty). It’s my new favorite class! I have what you might call “Exercise ADD.” Although I was self-conscious when I first joined a gym after my post-baby exercise hiatus, I realized I love trying…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 3
Oh heeeeyyy there. Truth be told, I forgot all about this update until I got to work this morning. And then I got too busy to actually post it. Last week started off on the right foot, but since I apparently came down with a crazy allergy attack (watery eyes and a runny, sneezy nose…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 2
Hi there! Hope your Fourth of July was safe and fun. Ours was nontraditional, but the muffulettas we ate were pretty darn tasty. Last week was a heckuva week. Needless to say, my exercise plans got derailed a bit. I didn’t even make it to the gym once. My mother (who watches Baby M during the work…
Operation: Movement in March – Week 1
Happy, happy weekend, friends! I don’t normally post on Saturdays, but I’m going to try to do so every week this month. You see, I made a goal for March. I mentioned it last Sunday, but I’m trying to exercise every day this month. So far, I’ve failed (you knew that was coming). I had…
