I felt that blogging about food would be appropriate this week. I am pre-writing this post, as I will be in Disney World when it posts enjoying eating and drinking around the world at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival! I used to post quite a bit about food and fitness. While I still am …

Not Enough Energy to Workout?
Do you have enough energy to workout? The responses to a poll on my Instagram story a couple weeks ago inspired this post! If you don’t have the energy to workout (and are not struggling with health issues), ask yourself a few questions: 1. Am I getting enough sleep? 2. How is my nutrition? 3. …
Running and Riding
I have been a rider for about 19 years now, and a runner for around 11ish (I think) off and on. Running doesn't seem to be a popular recommended workout for riders, at least from what I see in the social media world. However, I have found my running to be so beneficial to my …
Working Out With Your Bodyweight
I have probably talked about this before, but that's okay because I think it's an important topic! In all my years, of riding and fitness'ing, I have found that some of the BEST types of workouts to help me in my riding are body weight workouts. I have ran, lifted, dance, yoga'd, and done almost …

Shift Shop
I am right in the middle of one of Beachbody's newest workout programs, Shift Shop! Think agility drills, and killer cardio, with weight training. It's tough so far, but I am already feeling (and seeing) results! There are two rounds in the calendar, each three weeks. The workouts increase in time each week, and build …
Hardships are Where Strength is Made
What's hard usually makes us stronger. I had this thought during my workout yesterday. I hadn't trained with weights in forever, but I wanted to challenge myself - and my body - so I started Beachbody's Hammer and Chisel. Oh my is it challenging! I am so sore! But the pain I feel now will create …
Fit for the Holidays
The Holiday season is a time of joy and cheer! However, I find that it can also be a very stressful time! There are constantly things to do, places to go, people to see, and it can all be a little overwhelming! It can be tough to find time to ride, let alone work out. …
