I am working with a trainer for the second time in my life. The first time was while I was pregnant with Max (because I needed someone to force me to dial down and modify my workouts) and now postpartum. For years my workouts have always been with my team, a personal strength coach during […]
I bet if we were all told 5 years ago that we were going to be in a long term lockdown due to a global pandemic, working from home for a year, perpetually having to wear K95 face masks whenever we left the house for “essentials”, with kids doing remote learning from home, never in […]

Catching up with your homegirl over lunch or drinks is cool but in my opinion, girl talk during a sweat sesh is even better. The beauty of working out with your BFF; not only will you be spending the time together but you’ll also work out much harder than you would if you were in […]
