How To Start Running
Running sucks. I get it. If you are anything like me you were that kid that hated gym. I remember faking being sick, skipping class, or just complaining constantly to my friends. In fact, the only test I ever failed in my life was a written gym test. About the rules of tennis. Yes. I had to write a test in gym on TENNIS. Ugh.

Biggest Fitness Industry Secret
Everyone is always asking what the secret is to healthy living, weight-loss, and getting into better shape. Well, I’m going to let you in on one of the biggest industry secrets that no one in the fitness profession wants you to know. The real inside secret to weight-loss and better health is…. wait for it… NOTHING! There isn’t one. The real secret is that there is no secret. No fitness professional wants you to know that there isn’t any one plan, strategy, or inside knowledge to any health and fitness program.

Alternative Fitness
Who dreads going to the gym? I know I did. The intimidation of fellow gym mates who are very muscular. The confusion of the equipment and how to begin. The sound of the weights slamming. I remember I was, and some days still can be, intimidated. I, like many people, began to search outside and found so many options!

Why Men Should Practice Yoga...
“It’s just for girls, it’s not proper exercise” The very real words spoken by my boyfriend when I suggested he tried Yoga. Due to widespread advertising that includes beautiful women smiling in yoga pants, hipster coffee shops/art galleries holding yoga mornings for mothers and babies and newly gentrified, artsy areas of trendy cities becoming hubs for yoga studios, the wide spread perception that Yoga is for yummy mummy's and nimble, young, 20 something indie females is one that you would be forgiven for believing. However, I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Yoga, in its many forms, is for everyone. In fact, I see more and more men join my classes every week!

Losing Over 100lbs, Battling Anorexia, Overcoming
What a journey this has been. Back in 2003, I started my fitness journey with Beachbody. I was topped out at my highest weight ever, 258lbs (if not a little higher than that because I got embarrassed and stopped weighing in after I hit that).

Reflections on Running and Writing
Over the last year, I’ve dedicated a large amount of my free time to writing and running. My jobs always required extensive writing, but now I write for myself, finding my creative voice instead of a professional one. Running, on the other hand, is a new passion, chosen because it fit my criteria for an exercise regimen (full body workout, convenient, relatively cheap). As I cultivated both activities, I began to see parallels in my fears, ability, and routine. If you’re a beginner to creative writing or running, I’d like to reflect on these mental hurdles and hopefully inspire you to stick with it!
