So its Friday, and it doesn’t feel like Friday. Most weeks end with relief and some congregation, but not this Friday. This Friday, we will all be homebodies, and we will all Netflix and Chill. My sister has been staying with us through this ‘stay at home order.’ As I am sure, you have seen...Read More
So in my life before coronavirus, I had a rigorous routine. I would wake up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time. I coached the same classes and had my hours blocked out throughout the entire day around my coaching ours. I even time block my workout time,...Read More

One of the most common questions I get is, “What are the supplements that I should be taking?” I always laugh when I hear or read fitness experts say, “You should get your supplements through your food. Eat whole foods, and you won’t need to take supplements.” Yes, they are correct, but I laugh because...Read More
