Workout Wednesday: Pilates

Workout Wednesday: Pilates

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.

Cardio Boost: Jump Rope

Cardio Boost: Jump Rope

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 Tried ProLon and Here's Why You Should To

I’ve picked up some bad food habits this year and finally reached a point where the things I normally would do to reset weren’t working. I’d do great one day and then go back to bad habits the next.

Weekly Workouts: Week of September 7, 2020

Working out has been a great way for me to focus on something other than work, everything going on in the world, and simply destress. So many of you feel the same way, so I thought I’d share my plan for the week. I follow the same order each week and rest on Sunday and Friday. All workouts can be done at home, with or without weights.
