I recently began partnering with Tribe Sports and I am so excited! If you have not heard of them you definitely need to sign up for an account and check out their website. Basically Tribe Sports brings athletes and health enthusiasts from around the world together to participate in Virtual Challenges. I know personally that sometimes I can get bored with my own workout routine or challenges that I set for myself. I also usually find myself coming back to the areas I am comfortable in and […] Continue reading →

If you haven’t tried my deck of cards circuit workout you really need to! Find a time sometime this week or weekend to set aside about an hour to an hour and a half and I promise you will be crawling your way back to your car it is such a good workout. My favorite part about this workout is that it keeps things creative while really taking you outside of your comfort zone. In my own personal fitness experience I have always gravitated to the types of fitness that I feel comfortable in […] Continue reading →
I cannot believe how quickly April flew by! Between Easter, Yoga Training, and my Birthday the month seemed to start and end in the blink of an eye.

This way if any of you were super busy, went on vacation, or are just really behind on your blog reading you can get a cliff notes version of the last month in one post. […] Continue reading →
Today is my 24th birthday and thanks to my lovely family it is off to a wonderful start. Mike and I are going to be heading up north to visit my sisters for the weekend so this post is going to have to be a short and sweet picture re-cap of the morning since I still have a little bit of packing to do. My thoughtful boyfriend woke me up with a huge bouquet of tulips And one of these delicious bad boys Did a quick morning yoga workout on my brand new mat that I am in LOVE with!

Life has been a little bit crazy the past two weeks and I unfortunately have to admit that I haven’t been getting in as many workouts as I should be. However, all of that is going to change this week as I kick my butt back into a steady routine. It is amazing to me how addicted to exercise I can get when I am in a solid workout routine, however if I ever fall of the bandwagon it can sometimes seem impossible to really get back into a good workout flow. With the hot weather and beach […] Continue reading →
Guess what I mastered this weekend?!? It took a few tries, and I have some pretty nasty rug burns on my elbows, but once I did it, it was kind of like I couldn’t have imagined not being able to do it before. This scorpion pose is honestly one that now I feel like I could kind of just hang out in. So for all of you out there that have been too nervous to give it a try, just go for it! Not to mention you feel pretty cool being able to bust this bad boy out. […] Continue reading →

Who knows maybe you could wind up defying gravity too. […] Continue reading →
Since I have been doing a TON of Sun Salutations lately I thought it would be nice to actually show you all what a Sun Salutation is and how you do it. This is an awesome warm up flow for yoga lovers, or is a great way to transition into practicing yoga as a new beginner. Why not even take your Sun Salutation outside for a nice outdoor practice in the warm sun. Maybe your Sun Salutation will bring on a little more warm weather! There are a ton of different variation so sun salutations but […] Continue reading →
Ever since my competitive gymnastics days I have LOVED doing abs! Some people may think I am crazy, but I really do love the feeling of my core lighting on fire and since your core is the foundation to good form and stability in both fitness and your daily life it is probably the most important area of your body to work of keeping strong. But what exactly is your core? The most common misconception is that your core only consists of what everyone knows as the “6 pack” but there […] Continue reading →
