We're already in the third week our summer fitness challenge! How did the first two weeks go for you?

This week, we're going to switch things up by focusing on tried-and-true traditional strength training (with machines) in the gym, with lower reps, higher weight, and longer recovery times. Get ready to pump some iron!

Father’s Day is right around the corner. You know, the day of fun ties and steaks for dad. And now that I’m a dad, I’m very excited about receiving some well-deserved gifts. Here is my wish list! But, in my opinion, it's perfect for any fitness focused dads out there!

Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

Today we are going to make ice cream healthy! Wait, is that even possible?

That's what I wondered when one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley from Edible Perspective, posted a recipe for Banana Soft Serve. It wasn't until I made it myself that I fell in love with this ice cream alternative!

Farmer’s Market season is finally back and I am excited to shop local and eat fresh! I thought it was going to be challenging- an entire meal for 4, under $10.00, but I managed to do it and you can too!

Did you know that holding your body in a prone position just a few inches off the floor is both challenging and great for your physique? That’s right, planks are all the rage, replacing crunches as the go-to core exercise. Everyone's planking these days—elite athletes, my mom and dad, and even 71-year-olds breaking world records. We can thank our yoga and Pilates instructors for this one!

Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays, not only because America remembers the heroes who have served our country, but because it's a tradition that I spend it with my family. The weekend also kicks summer into high gear, and that calls for refreshing, fruity drinks! My fam gets together to make good food, drink, and have a good time!

As we go through life, we're constantly categorizing (whether consciously or subconsciously) everything that crosses our path. He is this. She is that. These are different. That's the same. Yet, where does this lead us? No day is ever the same. And it’s this sense of variety that most of us thrive on and live for. So, why is that when it comes to analyzing our eating habits, we feel the need to categorize them as either “good” or “bad”? Let's dig into this a bit further.
