Review: Timed Exercise
I don’t know if you have figured this out yet, but I love being pushed to the point of nausea in my workouts. I know that is strange. I am absolutely in the minority when I say I am jealous of the first workout you see on Biggest Loser. To me it is a sign [...][...]

Figure 4 at Pure Yoga
I was never that good at ballet. My body didn’t turn and twist the way it was supposed to, and I swear my short stature had everything to do with it. So I stayed pretty far away from barre classes, aside from the occasional barre ride at Revolve. Then a few weeks ago while in [...][...]
Cherry Blossom Yoga
If you could do anything on a cloudless April morning, what would it be? This past Saturday is was practicing yoga underneath cherry blossoms and the Washington Monument. Doing yoga on a hill–lead by Alison Adams, of DownDog Yoga, accompanied by a live Bluebrain performance–was pret[...]

Music: The essential training companion
I don’t know about you, but my race playlist is almost as important to me as getting my miles in on training runs. You can imagine me pouring over iTunes and Amazon lists, listening to the music choices of my spin instructors, and constantly surveying friends for recommendations. All of that c[...]

Concentration Challenge
I’ve read a bunch of articles about how some of the best exercises are actually the ones that work out both your mind and body. So I added in yoga a few years ago and loved the results. I learned to relax and have been known to break out the breathing exercises at work when [...][...]
More (Kettle)bell!
The American Council of Exercise recently released a study that concluded that kettlebells provide a much higher-intensity workout than standard weight-training routines and offer superior results in a short amount of time. When I started working out with trainers I was introduced to kettlebells an[...]
Overeating? You may be burned out at work
It was another crazy busy week at work. I always feel like when I am in the physical office there is more to do, or maybe I just feel less in control about when to do it. I had a lot of need to happen moments this week between client meetings and presentations, and a [...][...]
Second Breakfast?
I’ll admit it, there are days that I eat my breakfast and less than two hours later my stomach is rumbling. Usually this is when I work out really hard or I am up really early in the morning. Apparently I am not alone though. More on-the-go Americans are consuming their morning calories over s[...]
