I used to think that a treadmill was just a treadmill. You may be laughing, but it’s true! I’d get bored on a treadmill. It felt repetitive, monotonous, and completely uninteresting. Despite having the ability to push myself much harder on a treadmill, my distance and endurance has always been better while running outside. But …
Good morning everyone! I hope you all had wonderful Thanksgivings and indulged a little bit 🙂 Throughout the holiday season it can certainly be difficult to manage a balance between diet and exercise, but I’m confident in all of you to come through it on the positive side. I know there are endless resources for …
Yesterday, I came across this link- the gist of which is pictured below. I thought, “Great! I can finally test out what all this insanity business is about.” Once again, I was armed with and excited about a new workout. The link shows six movements. You’re supposed to do each for 1 minute with no …
When people think about working their abs the first things that come to mind are likely floor exercises. But today, we are defying the obvious and throwing caution to the wind! I bring you….a standing abdominal workout! I suppose this really is more of an oblique workout, but it uses your abs nonetheless. It’s especially …
I have to be honest with you; I’ve been in a bit of a rut lately. It seems like the less busy I am, the more lethargic I get and the less productive. It truly amazes me how that works! When I’m insanely busy I actually feel better about everything else in my life. Does … Continue reading
This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend the American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO) annual convocation conference in Louisville, Kentucky. There were several hundred osteopathic students from all over the country in attendance, and the week was filled with hands on workshops led by the top osteopathic physicians in the US. I’m so inspired … Continue reading
Between research, teaching, fitness classes, and wedding planning everything has been so busy! It’s kind of crazy how quickly time flies. Sometimes I feel like I blink and my week is already over. But I suppose that’s also a sign that I’m enjoying what I do! There are a few things I’ve been especially loving … Continue reading
I’m so excited to announce that I’m finally teaching fitness classes again! And it makes me so happy! My official classes are Wednesday nights: bootcamp at 6:30 and kickboxing at 7:30. The gym is called Pura Vida Fitness; it’s a small studio with tons of fitness classes ranging from yoga to TRX. I’d almost forgotten … Continue reading
With the turn of every New Year people always talk about their resolutions. Inevitably, many of these resolutions tend to be fitness related- lose weight, exercise more, eat healthier blah blah blah. Am I right? One thing you might not know (or maybe you do, because it’s not technically new) is that the broader and … Continue reading
I realized the other day that in the several years I’ve had this blog I’ve failed to write much at all about OMM. In fact, it’s likely that most of you don’t even know what it is! Considering I’ve spent the past two weeks teaching it intensively and the fact that I’m diving into a … Continue reading
Can you believe I’m already done with surgery?! Okay, maybe you can. But I can’t. If you’d asked me 10 weeks ago what I’d thought about going through surgery my response would’ve been different from what I’d say now. A little perspective makes all the difference! I ended up loving my surgery rotation, and am … Continue reading
