We just got home from small group and now it’s time to get the kids ready for their week and me ready for mine. I don’t share this to be all “hey look at me!” I share this because it’s helped me make progress and meet my goals and maybe you’d want to use this […]
Fit Gal’s Weekly Favorite Exercise: 1-Arm DB Up Rows!
This week’s exercise gets me every time. I’ve learned to go SUPER heavy on these and really focus on hitting that front delt. I hold a DB (dumbbell) in each hand and make sure to keep my spine straight up and in alignment. The reason I hold a DB in the other hand is to […]
15 Ways To Tackle {and enjoy} the Holidays!
No matter where you are in your fitness journey, you’ve likely thought about how you will tackle the upcoming holiday season. Some people have a “worry about it later” mentality and go full force through the season without a plan or practice of good balance. Instead, they plan on tackling their health (plus the typical […]
Marketing Hurts; Reading Labels Helps!
This truly upsets me. I’m going to go out on a limb and put the state of American wellness in partial blame of marketing. No one made someone eat what they do, but some packaging certainly has not helped us. The label says “Sugar free”. The ingredients say: water, corn syrup, vegetable oil, partially hydrogenated […]
Fit Gal’s Weekly Favorite Exercise: Standing Calf Raises
Each Saturday I feature my favorite exercise of the week. This week I chose Standing Calf Raises. This is done at the end of my 2nd leg day of the week. I do 5 sets of 15 reps on the Smith Machine. You can also stand off the edge of any other platform machine and […]
Lift Weights…..How to get started!
If you follow Fit Gal on Facebook, you’ll often see me post something like “Lift {heavy} like a girl” or “Don’t just show up for cardio, lift {heavy} to change your shape!” I’ve fallen in LOVE with weight lifting and it’s my newest must-do for all the Fit Gals and Guys out there. When I […]
Moderation Vs. Balance!
Warning, this post may ruffle some feathers. I like to promote balance in food choices. In my Coaching, I promote an 80/20 or 90/10 Lifestyle, eating whole foods the majority of the time. So often I will say, “Make this a lifestyle. Find your balance!” There is also another key phrase in wellness that seems […]
Lift Like a Girl!
Look how well pink and black {iron} go together! I saw several gals in pink at the iron today and even one with gorgeous pink lipstick {Go Sarah!}. If you are wanting to do something to change your physique, add curve, lower body fat and boost metabolism, then weight training is where it’s at! I […]
“0 Trans Fats” May Actually Be Hidden Trans Fats!
When I learned about Trans Fats in my Nutritional Coaching Foundations studies, I had an ah-ha moment. Suddenly I started seeing food in parts, rather than the whole. When you do that, fun foods tend to lose their fun! All in moderation can be said, but I also think there are some foods that will do […]
