Get out of your chair!

If you have a desk job and you are still spending 8+ hours per day in one of those crappy chairs your office provides, what are you waiting for? It’s time to upgrade your seat and have some fun. Time to buy an exercise ball!

Step away from the kitchen!

It’s 6:00 p.m. You walk in the door exhausted from the work day – and famished! You walk in the kitchen because it seems like a good place to go to unwind. You open the fridge, the freezer and the cupboards, grabbing and munching mindlessly. Sound familiar? The last thing [...]

Back to Basics

There is something to be said for having a routine in place. As boring as it may be, it really does help me to have a routine so I can maintain a healthy lifestyle. It wasn’t easy, but I started my day at 5:00 and made it to the gym before they even [...]
