Lately I’ve been loving myself some free-weight circuits. Now that my knees are finally feeling better (clearly they are glad I didn’t run Hood to Coast even though I was not) I’ve been doing some sort of circuit at least two times a week…on a non pilates reformer day. I have yet to do a… Continue Reading

Hydrate in July
So I think we have a little challenge on our hands. After hearing from some of you, it sounds like we could all use a little help making sure we drink enough water (and those of you who are already rockstars can support everyone else). Not only does drinking water help you to maintain your… Continue Reading
200 push-ups
I did 200 push-ups this morning (not gonna lie, half of those were on my knees). I didn’t realize it until I was in the shower and counted up my reps. Someone is going to be sore tomorrow. Here’s how it happened: 50 jumping jacks 50 “jump ropes” (without a rope) 20 squats 20 push-ups… Continue Reading
What to do with a BOSU Ball
Are you excited that it’s Friday? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? We’re staining the deck today, and tomorrow we’re going wine tasting with the in-laws. I can’t wait! Plus it’s still sunny here which has to be some sort of record especially because the sun is supposed to stick around at… Continue Reading

I do this about every 6 months because I’m not the most gentle person and tend to scratch up the platinum pretty bad. Normally I drop them off and come pick them back up a couple of hours later. But yesterday… Continue Reading
Whatever Makes You Feel Like A Rockstar
Yesterday was kind of rough as far as work-outs go. Monday night Chris’ parents came in to town and had dinner with us and then we took them to the airport (side note, they’re off to hang for a month in Mexico. No fair). We got home late(r) but decided to stay up and watch… Continue Reading
Actually I want a gym
So I turn 30 at the end of April and made it my goal to weigh 128 pounds which is what I weighed when I was 20 and what I weighed at my wedding. I feel like if every time I hit a big milestone I weigh the same as the last then I’m doing… Continue Reading
Hopefully I can walk tomorrow
I headed to the gym this morning dead set on kicking my own butt. I’ve worked out every day this week but none of my workouts really felt like a killer. I knew I wanted to do cardio and weights but that was about as much as I had planned out. I got there and… Continue Reading
Chest + Tri
The other day Chris and I worked out in the morning. I was just going to do some cardio but he wanted a spotter and would I do weights with him. So I switched it up and worked my chest and triceps until they were dying. I tend to only work my arms in Pilates… Continue Reading
