Mix Up Your Training

Week 6 Challenge: Mix up Your Training

I remember preparing for my wedding in 2010.

Hydrate Your Body

Week 3: Hydrate

I learned the importance of proper hydration the hard way – and it actually has nothing to do with grueling workouts or tough fitness challenges. 

Decide That You Can

The most important part of fulfilling your goals and dreams is simply to “decide that you can,” but oftentimes we become frozen in fear, plagued by indecision and self-doubt.  The truth is, leaps of faith are not crazy or unattainable.  In fact, the more grand your goal and dream is, the better.
