I LOVE the dead lift. I personally find it to be the best exercise to lift and tone that booty. As with any other exercise, there are variations for doing the basic dead lift, as is seen here. To begin: Always be sure to warm up for 5-10 minutes by jogging or performing some calisthenics …
When you were a kid, what things did you worry about? Where did you go to think and take time for yourself? Did you loose sleep wondering what the next best thing was or wondering how you were going to be different from your…competition? Or maybe, you had so much going on that you just …
Get Ready To Move Mountains Think about your life, think about what you have accomplished. What was it? How did it make you feel? Was it a hard change or task? What was that “why” behind it that kept you moving? Why is it important to think about these questions? It gives you perspective. These …
“I had good intentions to work out after I dropped the kids off at school but then I was called by the teacher to help out.” “I was going to make baked chicken to go along with the brown rice and veggies left over but I had to work late and it was much easier …

Have you ever noticed that many exercises when stripped down to their bare minimum, are just modified or advanced versions of another exercise? One such exercise is the squat. It can be a split squat, weighted squat, back-against-a-stability-ball squat, one-legged squat…you get the point, right? Because you will see many of these aforementioned exercises on this …
This idea came to me Sunday morning while I enjoyed my coconut coffee. I was reading a book and the word “inspiration” called to me. I find that Mondays are a great day to start fresh and become motivated for the week. This too can be a day for which you can find sparkle and …
There is one exercise that I love to hate, and that is the push-up. With so many modifications to make it easier, more difficult, muscle specific (think triceps here), medical condition specific (think pregnancy here) and mobile (do them anywhere), push ups should be on your list of exercises when designing your routine. …
One of the simplest, yet highly effective exercises, has to be the plank. On several occasions I have seen friends and colleagues post photos of their favorite places to plank. I know when I have taught fitness in the past, the typically ending, just before a good stretch, is some form of plank hold. …
Have you ever been on a roll with your fitness goals and it seemed like you were just so close you could feel it, see it and could start planning your celebratory shopping spree?
