I'm an adventurous introvert from Vancouver, Washington who lives on sleep + "me time." I'm a lover of lifting weights, dinosaurs, real talk and traveling with my husband. I am here to help you move better, lift more, bust the myths of the fitness industry, and inspire you to love the process.
Grocery shopping. It’s something you have to do. You have to eat to stay alive. You have to buy food in order to eat (unless of course you live off the land – not likely). But you and I both know it can be so much more complicated than just grocery shopping. You go into […]

For this post I want you to think about gymnasts. They don’t typically “lift weights” but they are EXTREMELY muscular and strong AF. How? Because they use the three secrets/training techniques I am sharing with you today.
Resistance training is great and my personal favorite form of training to build muscle, but it CAN happen without weights. It will take time, and body control, but it is indeed possible.
Who says you need a machine or to love running in order to do cardio?
Today I bring you seven exercises that can be done in your home or anywhere in the world for that matter.
You have some options here. To avoid counting reps, I always opt for workouts based on a timer. Just stop and go based on the buzzer. #makecardiolesshorrible
We all know I am a fan of big legs and being a total quadzilla. #thickthighssavelives #whatthighgap. But I want you to know that you CAN build and shape a juicy booty without increasing leg development.
Let’s start off by debunking the myth that squats are what give you a big butt. FALSE. Some people feel squats in their glutes and hammies, but most feel them in their quads. I have watched and interacted with plenty of women who have done squats for years and seen 0% booty growth.
This workout is a quick, full body workout consisting of the Turkish getup and dumbbell hang power cleans.
It can be done as a pre-workout warm up, or a post workout conditioning circuit.
Perform 4-6 sets of the following:
3 Turkish sit-ups on each side >> just the roll up on to your elbow. Feet stay in contact with the ground, limbs at 45 degrees from your body…

Pumpkin spice lattes, the cold dark weather leading to a complete lack of motivation, winter time comfort foods, holiday parties, baked goods at the office, and the stress of 2017 coming to an end…

When I say “don’t work” I want to make very clear that I am referring to long term fat loss and overall health – sustainability. They might work short-term for losing WEIGHT. NOT FAT. Wait for #3, oh the controversy!
So why am I writing this?
My guess is that your real goal and desire is to lose FAT, not just lose weight. Unless you want to be “skinny fat”…then stop reading, this is not the place for you.
