I have been overweight. It is not fun. There is no easy way out, and it takes time and effort to obtain or regain a healthy body. When there is a goal of losing weight, one of the hardest things to do is to reach out to someone and ask […]

Did you ever do a 360? We all do at times, but I recently did one with the way I eat! I tried the Beachbody Ultimate Reset, which when I first heard about it in January I had no intention of doing. But we all know how weird life is…the […]
Valentine’s Day is approaching fast! And we only have about 100 days or so until Memorial Day weekend! Where does the time go? So who wants to get their “SEXY†back? The holidays have a way of plumping us up and the end result is we start feeling sluggish, bloated, […]
I have been involved in some sort of fitness regimen most of my life. From playing youth sports as a child, to weight lifting in my teens and early twenties, to mountain biking. In recent years I dipped into the “in-home fitness†spectrum of exercising. It started when my wife […]
I’ve been in the fitness business since 2003. I’ve pretty much heard almost every excuse out there. I’m sure I’ve used a few myself. People tend to make every excuse they can when it comes to exercises & eating right. So many people come to me & say they want […]
Sometimes things happen that are out of our control, but it’s how we deal with them that can make or break us. As I have written before, I have a history of back issues due to an injury that happened back in 2000. Every once in a while […]
My good friend Stephanie Goetsh, founder of HerExchange.com, has come together with me on an Insane journey to Insanity: The ASYLUM. Here’s what she has to say so far… A couple of weeks ago I (Stephanie Goetsch) got a call from a friend of mine, Diana Collins. […]
Ever wonder why kids have a never ending source of energy? Watching my kids run around outside enjoying the fresh air and having fun made me think. My children are much happier, more energized, and have better concentration after enjoying physical activity. Everyone can experience these results and feel the […]
I do believe Asylum is my favorite workout program to date! All the workouts in this program are created to prepare you for Game Day, the first of which is on day 11. I was nervous for Game Day since Vertical Plyo is the craziest workout ever created […]
Do you know what’s holding you back from success? Its FEAR. FEAR is false evidence appearing real. Fear can hold you back from weight loss, exercise, a new career, a new relationship, ending a bad relationship. Fear is you being your own worst enemy. Don’t sit there wondering what if, […]
Being consistently committed to a healthy lifestyle can sometimes be hard. I follow a strict meal plan, exercise regularly and try to make the right choices most times when it comes to my health routine, especially living with hypoglycemia. Recently, I was reminded how crucial it is to keep on […]
Okay, so you may be by a cozy fire right now, or you just finished chipping the ice off of your car, but in just 17 weeks it will be Memorial Day – the unofficial start of summer!!! So how will your Memorial Day and summer be this year? Will […]
Okay, I was a little afraid to take my measurements this morning. I wasn’t on my best behavior with eating last week and over the weekend with Christmas. I made cookies, and of course you can’t make them without having one, two or a few. Then I made ravioli, […]
I know it sounds awful for me to say this, but all I really want is a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger right now. My favorite place to get one is PJ Whelihan’s Pub. The Black Jack Burger! So why am I craving something that’s really not that good […]
Well, its that time of year when all sorts of sickness strikes. Cold, flu, stomach bug, you name it. Right now, I’m starting to recover from my least favorite, the stomach bug. Its no fun for anyone when mom gets sick, so I have my own way of shortening […]
Having 4 kids and running my own successful online fitness business has generated a lot of comments and questions from so many people. I get people who feel the need to give me blessings, (which I appreciate), but I do sense sarcasm in some of these. I also […]
Okay, I know we’re all guilty of it. I’m perhaps one of the biggest procrastinators out there. As I type, I have a big pile of my 2 year old’s clothes to bag up for donation. I did promise myself I would get to it later today though:) […]
Typically Generation X are those who were born between 1965 and 1979. That would make the oldest GenXer’s 45 years old now and the youngest ones 31. Its hard to believe that some of my fellow GenXer’s are even grandparents! Shocking! I guess I find that one […]
Hi everyone! Over the years as a fitness professional and also recently from my Team Beachbody members, there have been a few recurring questions that I have been getting from different people. So I guessed that if so many people keep asking me the same questions, it might be a […]
I am right in the middle of week 3 of the P90X Classic routine. As a mom of 4 and fitness instructor, my life is pretty busy. Mostly with kid stuff. I only teach bootcamp 2 times per week because of the kids. For a few months that was it […]
