Well, it’s two weeks into a New Year and everything has changed, just like we dreamed! Okay, well…nothing has really changed, but still. Perhaps you made a New Year’s resolution, so maybe you changed. Maybe you started getting in early morning workouts, or eating less, or cutting out sugar. Maybe this year, you’ve resolved to get …

Recently, I hurt my back. I honestly never thought I’d say those words – at least not until I was much older. After all, to me, back issues were a result of poor body mechanics – bad posture, weak core strength, terrible weight-lifting form, etc. But the reality was that I just overdid it in the gym …
Lately I’ve been meditating on how truly blessed I am. This is not meant to be a brag – I apologize if it comes off like that. I just want to remember to be grateful for the abundance I have. One of the things I am most grateful for during the Era of COVID is my home …
Today’s topic is something I know next to nothing about, therefore…let’s learn together, shall we?

What are your healthy habits? The older I get, the more I appreciate routine. Don’t get me wrong – I still live for new experiences, like traveling somewhere I’ve never been or eating something I’ve never tasted. But in my day to day, I like having a series of healthy habits. They ground me. As I …
What’s something you are really good at? I’ll go first. I’m good at being self-disciplined, tenacious and consistent. How about something you are bad at? If we’re talking just fitness, I’m bad at mobility, explosive power and general speediness (I’m built for endurance, what can I say). Of course there’s more, but then this whole blog post would be …
