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!

5 Reasons to Add Hoop Dance to Your Movement Practise
For the past 4 (maybe 5) years hula hooping has been a big part of my life. Beginning as a simple hobby; evolving into a passion - then an obsession - and now it rests as part of my movement practise (a web of bodyweight exercises and movement exercises which I'll expand on in later posts).

Overcoming Adversity as an Amputee in the Fitness Community
Tonight got me thinking of how far I have come in the fitness community. A gym patron asked me if he could film me on Snapchat as I was doing squats. At first I was confused a little, but he explained that because of my prosthetic leg I inspired him to show others that they should be doing the same and what's their excuse. I complied and did it, not because he asked, but because I inspired him and I didn't want to let him down. Why is that so important to me? Let me explain.

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).

I'm Walking
My story: For over a year, I walked every day for a couple of hours. No, I did not do that out of the bottom of my heart. I did it for a job delivering flyers and it was mandatory if I wanted money in my pocket. I did not realize the benefits of it until after, as I shed pounds, gained endurance, and toned muscle I never thought was possible before. All summer, all autumn, and throughout the winter months, I walked. I never complained. I simply got used to it. To this day, it still surprises me and I am proud to say that I have done this for over a year and a half!

How the "No Pain No Gain" Mentality Can Hurt People with Undiagnosed Chronic Pain
Its plastered on nearly every gym or place to work out, pinned up on thousands of walls, and spilled out of even more mouths. That simple statement "No Pain, No Gain" can't actually be harmful, can it?
