Now that we’re all sufficiently plump from Valentine’s Day candy and dessert, let’s start on Project 6 Pack! I’ve gathered all the core-focused workouts I’ve shared over the last 3.5 years into one blog post. Some I perform more than others, but I still use each and every one of these as part of my…
How to Count Macros
Has anyone else noticed the increasing popularity of people “counting their macros”? I follow a lot of fitness people on social media and feel like I’m always reading about them trying to meet their macros for the day. It wasn’t until recently that I actually researched what this phenomenon is, and I found it so…
How to Increase Running Mileage Safely
Since I’ve recently started seeing progress in my recovery from IT Band Syndrome, I figured now might be a good time to develop some sort of plan as I move forward with running. What got me into this whole mess originally was training for last year’s LA Marathon way too fast after about a month…
Lower Abs Workout
Comin’ at you with a burn-so-good core workout today! In my opinion, the most satisfying post-workout soreness is when your abs hurt. Why? Because I find it to be the most difficult area to work to the point of soreness. This might have something to do with my exercise form getting a bit “off” when…
10 Commandments for the Injured Runner
Four physical therapy appointments down; six to go! Ever since my official IT Band Syndrome diagnosis, I’ve been going to PT about twice a week. At each visit, they’ve been having me stretch and gradually do more exercises. On my own time, I’ve been getting back into my workout schedule and doing my PT stretches…
Running Injury Verdict + HIIT Like a Boss Workout
Before I share my latest High Intensity Interval Training circuit workout, I have a little running update for you. First of all, I hate to keep vaguely talking about my “knee problem,” so I’m going to do a quick little summary of why I can’t run, update you on what the doctor told me last…
Tips & Tricks for Working Out During the Holidays
The holiday season is upon us! I’m so pumped to see family, have a few days off work to relax, and just embrace the spirit of the season (I’m anxious to throw up Christmas decorations but have been told I have to wait until after Thanksgiving; womp womp). Since this tends to be such a…
15 Ways to Relax After a Long Day
Happy Friday!! It’s been a busy week for me, so I am more than happy for this weekend to begin. How will I start the glorious, magnificent days off? Probably being super lazy and not doing a single productive thing. Aww yiss. After having some especially long days recently, and hearing how others cope with…
30 Easy Random Acts of Kindness
Happy Do Something Nice Day! This holiday lands on October 5th every year, and considering I just discovered this was a thing, I wanted to share a bunch of little ways you can be kind to others today (or any day). And what better way to be nice to people than do one or many…
My New Weekly Workout Schedule
So I’ve decided to cut the crap and finally make this consistent workout schedule thing a reality. I made a goal in my wedding fitness plan to workout five to six days a week, and needless to say, that has not been happening…until now. Over the past five years, as I’ve gotten much more into…
30-Day Booty Challenge
As I’m getting my body back into shape to hopefully be able to run again without knee/IT band pain, I’m focusing on a few muscle groups specifically–like my glutes, hamstrings, and quads. I feel pretty confident that I have some muscle imbalances that are hurting my psuedo-injury recovery, so I’m trying to step up my…
Paddle Boarding + Block Island Organics Sunscreen Review
As mentioned on Friday in my San Diego Bucket List, we went paddle boarding this weekend! Shout out to GroupOn for making it hella cheap and my birthday week for giving us a reason to go again (even though living by the water is reason enough). It’s been quite toasty here in San Diego lately,…
Checking in on my 2015 Resolutions
Since we’re about halfway through this year (oh lawd), I figured I’d take some time today to revisit some goals I made in January to keep myself accountable. Usually, I don’t set clear goals for myself and just kind of…loosely work towards them. But I’m trying to change that because, believe it or not, that…
Water Challenge + A Few of My Favorite Things
So I’ve decided I need to drink more water. I’m not always great with working out consistently, and I’m not the best at eating healthy all the time. But adding more water to my day seems like an easy way to be nice to my body. They say you should drink about eight glasses of…
ASICS LA Marathon VIP Weekend Recap
Exactly a week ago, we were heading to Los Angeles for a busy weekend of marathon-related fun. It’s hard to believe it’s all over. I was asked to be part of the Team ASICS Challenge back in December, which Matt was also able to join, but due to ridiculous IT Band issues, I had to…
