Hiking is a true game-changer when it comes to your health and well-being. Trust me, I've experienced the magic firsthand, and I can't wait to share five compelling reasons hiking is a total health boost.

Have you taken a pilates class yet? Pilates is one of my favorite ways in which to work out. Done either at home or in a studio, it’s the perfect option for those looking to tone and strengthen their core while also focusing on improving their flexibility. It’s low-impact and is the perfect option for new mommas, those recovering from injuries, and anyone looking to tone and build strength.

If you’re looking to take your cardio workouts to the next level, try incorporating jump rope. Seriously, you question. Yes. A recent study found that skipping rope for only 10 minutes was comparable to jogging for 30 and that it’s one of the most effective forms of cardio around. Skipping rope requires you to engage your core, use both your leg and arm muscles, and gives you an incredible full body workout with heart healthy benefits.

I need a little variety in my life. That means doing the same workouts day in and day out (at different intensities) just doesn’t cut it. I get bored. So to keep me engaged and coming back for more, I like to find new workouts. And YouTube is the perfect place to find them. Today I’m sharing my top three YouTube workouts.

This week I’m sharing the workouts that I will be doing for the month of May. Every week I will be doing the same general workouts, designed to burn fat and build lean muscle. Since I’m not a trainer by profession, I’m sharing workouts that have been developed by others and are guaranteed to produce results. Join me!

Home workout equipment can be hit and miss so today I thought I’d share my top picks. These are the pieces I go to without fail and know they will help deliver the results I’m looking to achieve.

This week the weather is supposed to be amazing so I’m taking my workout outside. Everything noted below can be done inside or out, with equipment or items you have in your home. All workouts follow the FASTer Way format - HIIT, full-body, arms/shoulders/back/abs, and leg day. Enjoy!

I am so glad everyone is enjoying my workout Wednesday exercises! Two weeks ago I shared the full body so this week I thought I’d share the exercises I do targeting my back, shoulders, and arms. I usually do this group of exercises once a week.

So many of you have done my Sample Workout Week exercises and asked for more, so starting today I’ll be posting a weekly workout. Today’s workout focuses on the whole body, with extended time spent on legs, back, and arms.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that this past week I’ve been sharing sample workouts designed to showcase what you can expect as part of the online fitness groups for which I coach. Quick and effective, these workouts are designed to accelerate results to help you achieve your health and fitness goals. Learn more about my program here.
