Flat Abs in 5 Minutes Workout
On most days after my run or workout, I do some form of core work. The benefits of core work are huge: not only does having a strong core give you nice, flat abs, but a strong core also helps prevent injury while running or working out, relieve back pain from sitting...
Enjoying Each Day
Can you believe that this week marks the end of July? If the days (and years!) are passing quickly, and you're not getting a chance to step back and enjoy, you're not alone. This week, though, join me in consciously trying to appreciate something every day, even if...
7 Nutrition Lessons Americans Can Learn from Other Cultures
Some of the most interesting (to me) lessons from my nutrition education were those that explored the nutritional practices of various cultures throughout the world. I'm fascinated by the differences in the foods we consume, and I love that we can learn...

500 Rep Circuit Workout
Are you sticking with the 30-day squat challenge? I am, and I'm definitely feeling it from time to time - awesome! If you're participating, you know that today is a squat-rest-day, but I'm not going to let you off the hook that easily :). I've created a new circuit...
Exercise and Work
Due to yesterday's beast of a post on how to cook for a group, I'm going to keep today's Motivation Monday relatively short. Enjoy! We all know that work makes it more difficult to stick to a healthy lifestyle - it can mean rolling out of bed far earlier than you'd...
