    This past Tuesday, February 11, was my birthday. If you couldn’t already tell by the title I turned 16-years-old. Age is just a number, so I don’t feel that different right off the bat, but I’m excited for this coming year. I have goals to achieve and things to do. One question I’ve been asked…

    You’re on the bench with a PR (personal record) on the bar above you. Your palms are sweating. You grip the bar as tight as you can. You unrack the bar, heaving the weight above you. You bring the weight down to your chest but … you can’t lift it back up. Suddenly your favorite…

    I know a lot of you might not like the title of this post, but it is really true. I’m not saying you should be all-out grinning through your whole workout, but a certain sense of enjoyment leads to better workouts. I really enjoy the Incline Dumbbell Press, so I’m going to use heavy weights…

    I love food. Which is why by far the hardest part of the fitness life for me is the diet. But sometimes it’s okay to eat some unhealthy stuff, right? Everything in moderation *wink* No, but in all seriousness it’s perfectly fine to have a cheat meal sometimes. Here are my favorite foods that don’t…

    Cardio is a big part of working out. It’s very good for your heart and is a great way to burn calories. But in my opinion … cardio isn’t fun. I mean some people like it, and if you’re one of those people then maybe you should stop reading … (jk, don’t do that, I…

    Well, we can’t believe our blog is a month old today. It’s been fun, but, unfortunately, it’s time to close this chapter. Thank you to all who have read, commented, or reached out to us to say you were inspired. I’m just kidding! My darling boy and I are just getting started and we can’t…

    I’m going to be completely honest. I’m not a morning person and neither is my mom. As a result, my morning routine is questionable. I kind of just roll out of my bed whenever and start. But there is a morning routine in my head that I do every once in a while that I…

    I love food. Food is great. To be honest, I even find food fun. Which is why “dieting” is kinda hard for me. Fortunately, there are still some amazing foods you can eat even while eating healthy.  At least in the US, I feel like breakfast foods are the most unhealthy. Other than eggs and…

    I don’t know about you, but I feel like this phrase has been used to describe anyone and everyone from vegans to emos to little girls dressing up as Disney princesses on a normal day. So I think when it comes to fitness, people are kind of hesitant to bring this phrase up, thinking it…
