This picture cracks me up every time I look at it. I look like I am on my way to go kill someone, like seriously. I like to keep photos like this to remind myself of all of my accomplishments and the hard work I put in to get there. Life isn’t always easy or…
Home Workouts
Lower Body Circuit
Last week, I stepped out of my comfort zone of lifting weights and joined a friend for a run, a 5 mile run to be exact. I am not a runner, nor do I enjoy running further than 3 miles so running 5 miles was quite the accomplishment. Once the run was over I felt…
Burpee Challenge
Another holiday weekend is upon us and I am giving you ALL the tools to stay on top of your health and fitness goals! Long weekends are no excuse to get off course. Stay focused and motivated and you will make it through the weekend with flying colors! Lots of us will be surrounded with…
No Equipment Vacation Workout
This workout doesn’t have to be saved for when you go on vacation. It can simply be done anywhere! I called it a vacation workout because it is what I did on the last morning of our Lake Superior mini vacation last weekend. This workout was created by Juli Bauer of Paleomg while she was also…
Backyard 30 Minute AMRAP
It’s Friday, Friday, Friday! I did something cool this week, cool for me anyways. I attended and survived two crossfit classes! I have done crossfit style workouts on my own, but never a class. A friend invited me to her crossfit gym (box?) to try out a class. I was never the “group training class”…

Cardio with a Twist
FriYAY – kick this weekend off with some MOVEMENT. The body was made to move and do physical work. Don’t deny your body its purpose. In order to make progress you don’t have to spend countless hours at the gym lifting like a bodybuilder. Kick up the intensity once in awhile and get in a…
Full Body Conditioning Workout
Earlier this week I talked about motivation. We all have motivation in us! Some days we may have to dig deeper than others but it is in you somewhere. Stop making excuses, say you can do it, dig deep and grind. You can easily do this workout at home as well. If you don’t have…
30 Minute Sweat Session
Are you in as much need of the weekend as I am? This has been quite the week and I am looking forward to some fun, fitness, friends and family (just to name a few of my favorite F words)! You should have absolutely no excuse this weekend to not get in at least a little movement. If…
5-10-15-20 HIIT Workout
Hey fit fam and happy FriYAY! Last weekend we were at our family cabin and wanted to get in a quick yet higher intensity workout. This workout can be done at home, in the park, on vacation and so on. We don’t let holiday weekends or vacations distract us from our goals and neither should…
