you're on 

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.

Hey you,

The name's Annie & you're reading my thoughts. Let's get acquainted.

PART 2:  HINDSIGHT IS 20/20 Welcome to part 2 of this three part series my friend. Todays take away: Hindsight is 20/20, reflect and find the good in shitty situations. When we left off, I had a busted window, no camera and no phone.  If you missed part 1, check out my previous post.  All […]

PART 1: ROAD TRIP FROM HELL June 7, 2016. 4:00am. San Francisco, California. “The car got broke into.” Last summer Nathanael and I took a road trip.  After three days in San Fran, we packed up to head to Vegas and Zion, walked downstairs to load the car, and Nate says to me, “the car […]

Today is all about FEAR + SAVINGS. If you have been following me for a while, you know I am a straight shooter and want women to feel educated and empowered through strength and fitness. Commercial gyms can be VERY intimidating if you are not savvy in a gym environment. You feel like every eye […]

“I want to weigh 120 pounds.” Where the hell do women get this number from? I recently talked about this with Steph Gaudreau for the Women’s Strength Summit.  I had this UH-MAZING female nutrition professor in college. You know, one of those ladies who descended from heaven to teach what she was SO INSANELY passionate […]

Annie Miller of Fitdesignbyannie on accepting your weight shape and size

YES. Oh my gosh YES.  If I am being completely honest, I am not a huge fan of this fact but I cannot deny it. {cry face} Nutrition is THE BOSS when it comes to abs. I love this old graphic (above)…I found it years ago and it hurt my soul a little bit because […]

Annie Miller of fitdesignbyannie are abs really made in the kitchen

Everything in this post is referring to the 16 oz grande Unicorn Frappuccino exactly how Starbucks baristas will make it if you do not ask for any changes – whole milk + whip. “The Unicorn Frappuchino will add Magic to your day” – FALSE. TRUTH – The Unicorn Frappuccino will add well over half your […]

Annie Miller of Fitdesignbyannie brings truth to the starbucks unicorn frappuccino

Let’s just get right to it. Media is all around us; Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, twitter, snapchat, you name it. You can find any type of woman you want on those platforms right? Who do you look at as inspiration?  Who do you compare yourself to? Analyze why you follow certain ladies on social media or […]

Annie Miller of Fitdesignbyannie on Comparison or Motivation

I tricked you, just a bit. We are indeed talking about rump shaping today. Rather than three different exercises we are going to go over three variations of the same exercise, which can be done in ONE workout. The umbrella name is known as the GLUTE HAM RAISE. Side note: most glute exercises are going […]

Annie Miller of Fitdesignbyannie with 3 exercises to up your glute game

Ever feel like you’re giving it your all? Like you’re doing everything you can? But it’s not working out? I’ve got a little exercise I learned in group counseling years ago. I use it to this day.  The more you implement into your life, the easier it becomes. Write down the top five places your […]

Annie Miller of fitdesignbyannie on how to identify your priorities

We all know nutrition is a big deal in the world of health and fitness. A common question I get asked is “do you use cheat days?” My answer is complicated. Stick with me. I don’t label a certain day a “cheat day” and I HATE that term. You’re not cheating on anything. And if […]
