FREE At-home Workouts
Hi there, friends. Wow. These are some unprecedented times. I know that exercise helps me when I’m anxious (which I’ve been off and on the past few days), so I thought I’d share some free at-home exercise resources in case you might be feeling anxiety or just feel antsy being home so much. 50 Minute…

March Wellness Challenge: Follow People Who Make You Feel Good (And Unfollow Those Who Don’t)
March Wellness Challenge: Follow people on social media who make you feel good. And UNFOLLOW those who don’t. I live in the fitness world so, for me, it takes a lot of intention to identify the “fitfluencers” I want to follow. I try to ask myself a few questions. These questions are asked with a fitness…

February Wellness Challenge: Ask Someone on a Date … a Workout Date.
My husband does not like to work out with me. A family or couple’s run is OK, but the only way I can get him to go to a class (even ones I teach) is if it’s my birthday and I ask for it as part of my gift. In his defense, it’s not because…

January Wellness Challenge: Easy and Healthy Recipe Exchange
I usually don’t write about food for a few reasons. I’m not a registered dietitian so I’m not going to claim to know what exactly you should eat. And I’m not one of those creative food bloggers who not only invent delicious recipes but take stellar photos of food, too. But I am a mom…

I Don’t Want to Write This Post
This is a post I don’t want to write. It keeps dropping in priority on my to-do list. Why write it if I don’t want to? Because I HAVE to. You see, at the beginning of October, I issued a Beloved Body Wellness Challenge – one I felt/feel is really important – and I didn’t do…

What’s Your Health Hurdle? (BBWC #6)
The next Beloved Body Wellness Challenge (BBWC) is a bit different than those previous. It’s going to be super personal and customized to you. It’s going to run a bit longer than normal. It’s the most important challenge we’ve done yet. Challenge: Identify a habit or a mindset (or both) that’s a health hurdle for you. Something…

BBWC #5: Thank the Plank
If you haven’t noticed, Beloved Body went on a bit of summer vacation— well, not really a vacation (I wish!) but a hiatus. The past month, we haven’t had our usual childcare, so I’ve been a full-time stay-at-home mom. It’s been a lot of fun, but by the time Hadley goes to bed, I’m too…

How Did It Go? (BBWC #4: A Moment for Your Mind)
Happy Monday! How did BBWC #4 last week go for you? I issue these Beloved Body Wellness Challenges because I want to help others become healthier, but it’s to challenge myself as well. And, man, BBWC #4 was a challenge! Monday night, I forced myself to color in my meditation coloring book for like eight whole…

BBWC #4 – A Moment for Your Mind
To unwind at the end of the day, I often turn on the TV – usually reality TV. I like it because it’s mindless. But this week, I’m going to challenge myself to swap some of my ‘mindless’ time with ‘mindful’ time. I hope you’ll join me. Years ago, I read the book “Eat, Pray, Love”…
