So you’ve created a great weekly workout schedule for yourself – Mondays, upper body; Tuesdays, cardio; Wednesdays, lower body. You’re so on top of your game, in fact, that you have every single day in your schedule booked up with something! Since we’re busy, we all try to fit in a workout wherever we canContinue reading “The Most Important Part of Your Workout”

The Best Training Program So many of my clients ask me, “what’s the best kind of workout that I can do to get in shape?” Is it Pilates? Is it High Intensity Interval Training? Cardio? Cycling? Hiking? Weight Training? Swimming? Doing Bear Crawls all over Central Park? Such a loaded question, with a quick answer:Continue reading “The Best Training Program”

Consistently Building that Routine A recurring theme that I’ve been noticing in life lately is the theme of consistency, rituals, and habits. Gabe (the husband) and I were chatting late one evening, and I was commenting on how my body’s been changing recently just from my consistency at the gym. I haven’t been reinventing theContinue reading “Consistently Creating Habits”
