Ain’t nothing wrong with acting like a bunch of animals… We’re all a little animalistic sometimes. Maybe there’s a huge appetizer spread out at an event, and you haven’t eaten dinner yet, so you attack it. Or maybe you got kind of drunk last weekend and performed some outrageous moves on the dance floor you

The other day I took an Animal Flow class at Equinox in Columbus Circle, NYC. I’ll write separately about that, but during class I couldn’t help but be distracted by something in front of me. “That girl’s shirt is sooooo cute!” Yep, I’m that girl. And while I’m not 100% sure what she was wearing (I’m
A few months back, I wrote a feature for Blood, Sweat & Cheers about a pay-what-you-can bootcamp in New York City (because not everyone who works out can afford Lululemon tops and SoulCycle spinning classes). The founder of The People’s Bootcamp, Adam Rosante, was great and answered my questions about the class with a turnaround
I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t.

Jumping Lifestyles on Broadway off Canal Street in New York City is a new trampoline studio offering customized workouts using individual “jump stations” (aka, trampolines with pogo
I’ve never made a New Years Resolution. I’m not really sure why. I’ve never seriously needed to lose weight, or quit something addictive like smoking (the two biggest resolutions on the planet)… but there are definitely things in my life I’ve needed to improve, change, start doing more of, or stop completely. For those who
As “fitness consumers,” we are always looking for new advice from professionals to better our workouts and our bodies. But how can we trust that everything we hear, read or see, is true? Simply put, we can’t. And since there are so many “fitness falsities” floating around in the fit-o-sphere, I wrote about some common
I made my former field hockey team a playlist to get them pumped up for their National Tournament in Virginia Beach a few weekends ago. They seemed to really enjoy it, so I thought I’d share it here, too. It’s a bit of a random assortment, but it’s designed to get you pumped and keep
I can run for hours, but when it comes to holding still I have the ability of a child waiting on a long bathroom line. I fidget, I squirm, I shake and sometimes, though I don’t like to admit it, I just let go. Luckily though, I’m still talking about sitting still and not peeing
