Whether you wear them while working out, running errands, or doing absolutely nothing, there’s no denying that active wear is the bee’s knees. Workout clothes are pretty much all I wear during my workweek, now that I’m a full-time remote employee. I mean…if the clothes are comfortable, then why deny the joy of wearing them…
Workout for Weak Glutes & Hips
I originally started this blog with a running theme, but ever since I developed IT (iliotibial) band syndrome four years ago, running has been pretty nonexistent in my life. I’m not going to get into that story, but if you want to read more about my experience, check out my running after IT band syndrome…
My #1 Tip for Sticking to a Workout Schedule
Of all the tips I’ve shared on how to stay committed to a workout schedule— whether on here or in person to friends—there’s one in particular that I swear by. It’s the one change that made my unstructured and infrequent exercise turn into a legitimate routine: logging workouts. I’ve been logging workouts online for over…

Upbeat Workout Playlist
I’ve got some upbeat music to get you pumped up for your workouts this weekend! I feel like I haven’t shared a playlist on here in forever—probably because I usually make them for running (which isn’t happening much the past few years thanks to my IT Band Syndrome). The last playlist I created was my…
My Top 5 Favorite Products I’ve Reviewed
It recently occurred to me that I’ve been blogging for almost five years. Throughout this time, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of health-related brands to review (and often giveaway) their products. Although it’s cool to get these sort of blog perks, it’s even better to discover amazing products I might not…
Redefining Running (After IT Band Syndrome)
As of last month, it has been over two years since I developed IT Band Syndrome. Although I still can’t run like I used to (and have doubts that I ever will again), my attitude towards the sport has completely changed. While I know runners recover from the chronic injury every day, I’m not one…
7 Tips for Restarting a Workout Schedule After a Break
It happened. I’ve reached the one-month mark of not working out. THE HORROR! Except, this was a conscious decision that I chose every single day. So, really, I only have myself to blame for the disappointment this brings me. Womp womp. Like every other time I’ve taken an extended break from, as Fergie would say,…
Here’s to Us
Ask anyone what “being healthy” means, and you’ll get a wide range of answers. Hitting the gym for an hour every day after work. Focusing on “eating clean.” Or maybe just not eating the entire batch of cookies (been there). We all interpret it slightly different, and as a result, we might lead very different…
80s Workout Music Playlist
Since I’m getting back into running finally, I’m starting to realize the need for good music to run to. Although I have quite a few playlists from back in the day, I wanted something fresh. And by fresh, I mean a few decades old. I’m talking 80s music, friends. It’s one of my favorite upbeat…
How I’m Recovering from IT Band Syndrome
I’m not. Bahahaha. Ok, I kind of am. It has been a really weird process though. Since I’m always referencing my IT Band Syndrome, I figured I’d take some time to talk about what has worked and what hasn’t for me. The condition is extremely common among runners, and I know that I, personally, have…
My Favorite Pre-Race Ritual: Drinking Games
Even though I haven’t been able to run races for awhile because of my IT Band Syndrome, this post is one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Since I feel like we’re in the heart of race season, I figured there’s no time but the present to share. We all have our rituals…

7 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Workout (When It’s the Last Thing You Want to Do)
Every once in awhile, a friend will talk to me about their fitness habits or ask me for advice. My response usually consists of an excited rant about how great working out is and then giving them way too much advice. At which point I’m reminded of how good it is I started this blog…
A Few of My Favorite Things
For those following along with my recovery from IT Band Syndrome, I’m still seeing progress! The smart person that I am, I decided to go for a run during crazy weather we had here on Sunday. Thankfully, it was only drizzling and slightly windy, though it got much worse after I finished. First of all,…
