Holiday Gift Guide for the Fitness Lover in Your Life
The holiday season is upon us! Ready or not, it's time to put the tree up and begin the slow descent into madness that is holiday gift buying. I adore giving gifts to people I care about, but finding the absolute perfect gift for everyone on my list can be difficult. My parents are impossible to buy for, my son wants a lot of things that are a little out of reach (sorry, kid, we don't have room for a horse), and I always have trouble settling on what to get my friends.

Having Consistency on Your Fitness Journey
It isn't usually the case that people are training incorrectly to achieve their goal. Usually it is a matter of how consistently they are training with 100 percent effort and motivation. A day off here and there is great, encouraged in fact, but two days off can become a week which can become a month which can become a year, even. The thing with fitness is that when you return after a long lay off, you aren't back where you left off, you're way behind. So here are 10 rules I live by to ensure my efforts are sustained.

How to Get Back on Track. Top Story - August 2018.
Hello my little lovelies! So two weeks ago I went to see my husband in Connecticut and I had a wonderful time seeing him. It was great seeing him after two months without personally seeing each other. With that being said, being healthy wasn't exactly in the books. We ate anything and everything we could get our hands on and when we went to Mystic, Connecticut we had a nice non-healthy dinner and also noshed on a few treats from the local bakery. With that being said, when I came back home the first thing I did was weigh myself. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was pretty bad that I went into shock for a minute.

App Review: Sweatcoin
When I had first heard about Sweatcoin, funny enough it wasn't through somewhere like Fitbit, or any sort of fitness related thing. It was actually through a time-monitoring app for my phone, which allowed you to take a look at other stats that users had willingly allowed them to post about, and that's when I saw the name.

How to Get Yourself into Sports
We've all been there. "Yeah, I'll go to the gym tomorrow" or "it's just that I hate exercise and I eat healthy enough so I'm fine". We give excuses at the thought of sweating or running short of breath. The thing is while eating healthy makes up 80 percent of a good lifestyle, sports and fitness is still 20 percent. Now of course, when we think of "getting fit" we tend to envision ourselves running on some cold Saturday morning, while it's pouring rain outside. But, if there's one thing I've learned from seven years of fitness and finding my way into sports is that running is not the sole thing that can give us that missing 20 percent of health. In fact, when I started exercising I too began jogging. I quickly found how much I hated it. Of course, there will always be those people who adore it and have always loved the idea of a little run to get distressed and others end up liking it after doing it for some time. Still, some of you, just like me, simply can't stand it, even if it becomes a daily thing. It's like working in an office, there will always be people who like it and find a monotone routine exciting in some ways, but others, while like the idea of earning an income from a nine to five job, don't really like spending their time in front of a screen, sitting down for hours.

Work Out With Me
I hate cardio. I’m only three posts in, and I’ve already said I hate cardio in more than one post. It’s not my thing. Never has been, never will be. You want me to run a mile? Kiss my ass. Walk a mile? If we’re talking like… walk to a restaurant or the nearest McDonald’s, then sure. Clearly that would defeat the purpose so you’re 99.9 percent never going to see me do cardio. On the off chance that you catch me doing cardio that 0.1 percent of the time, I’m probably doing like 5 minutes of HIIT intervals on a treadmill. Or going really slowly on a StairMaster.
