    How Being Positive Helps us Stay Healthy

    January 12, 2016 / 1 Comment

    ​ Hi ,   I posted the above picture on instagram a while back and it is still one of my favorite sayings. There are so many beautiful reasons to be Happy! This statement is so very true. We have so many things in our lives to be happy about, even in the mist of hardship. We can’t just focus on the negative or the bad things that are happening around us. If we do we will just keep falling deeper into a negative mindset. Let’s change our mindsets to focus on the positive.  A negative mindset can be damaging to your health and fitness. Are you guilty of having a negative mind?…

My tips for picking the perfect workout shoes for you: 1.) Buy for your foot type. Knowing what type of foot you have will help you with your over all comfort. There are four main types…

  • 5 Reasons Why It’s Important to Strengthen Your Core

    September 8, 2015 / 2 Comments

    A Strong Core is the Key to Flat Abs If you’re working towards that elusive six-pack, balance is important. Too much focus on the abdominals to the exclusion of other core muscles makes it harder to get the abdominal definition you’re looking for.

Do a well-balanced abdominal workout that focuses on all of the muscles in abdominal region, and add more back extensions and planks to work the muscles in your back and pelvis. Instead of zeroing in on your abs, aim for balance.Strong Core Muscles Improve…
