Breathe.
Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a great week. I’m out in PEI (East Coast of Canada) at the moment and enjoying every minute of it. I’ve done some travelling in my life, but what I like in particular about this place is the peace and the quiet. Even when on the beach,…

Idolize Yourself
In the past couple of days I have been asked a few times: “who is your role model”? The short answer is: I don’t really have one. I used to idolize a few women in the fit community: Paige Hathaway, Dana Linn Bailey, Nikki Blackketter. Each one of those women is beautiful and strong. I spent so much…

Over the years, I have tried many different diets on my journey to healthier living. You name it, I’ve tried it. Vegan, Low Carb, Raw, Paleo.

Well this week I added a new addition to my leg workouts, and I think it’s going to be a game-changer: Front Squats. Regular…

How to Deal with Toxic People
We can all level on this one. We all have, or have had, negative and toxic people in our lives. These are the people who are negative talkers and thinkers. These are the people who don’t support your dreams, or put you down. The people who make you wonder why you make time for them after…

Straightforward Shoulder Workout
I’ve been readjusting my focus for development towards different parts of my body every couple of months. It’s important to assess what needs tweaking, perfecting, or even just extra attention every once in a while. Most recently for me, it’s been shoulders. Maybe it’s just summer calling me, but these hot weather tanks deserve some…
