Stretching sucks! I hate it! No but I literally hate it. I’m tall so I’m not flexible (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it)! If you’ve ever been with me to yoga class then you know I’m the only one who isn’t relaxed and zen. Instead I’m drenched in sweat, all tangled up and extremely frustrated. But as much as I hate it, I know it is necessary.

I feel like this year is going to be a great one. Not only because it's an even number ( I have my theories lol) but because it is a new century so fresh start for everyone! I also feel like great things are coming in the 20’s. There will always be ups and downs but for the most part, I have a good feeling. I know 2019 was a little rough for some but keep your heads high and 2020 will be an amazing one.

Holidays aren’t the only things that can mess up your fat loss goals, so can the grocery store. If you don’t have a proper game plan when you go onto one, it can easily turn into a disaster. I don’t want you to read this and be terrified of the grocery store. On the contrary, I want you to just be aware and conscious of your decisions. We usually buy groceries to last us for 1-2 weeks (depending on your family size and if your bodybuilder lol) so whatever we get determines how well (or bad) we stick to our nutrition plan.

ou may not want to look that muscular and that’s ok. Perhaps you just want to gain some muscles and tighten everything. Good for you! You won’t be able to do that by taking cardio classes, running marathons, and sweating at the sauna. Yes, you will lose weight but not that tight, muscular body J-lo has. Instead, you have to lift heavy, watch what you eat, and be consistent.

If you don’t know who Paige Hathaway is, have you been living under a tree? I’m just kidding but no seriously she is one of the most well known fitness influencers in the industry, aside from Michelle Lewin.
Paige has been around for quite some time. She started in the fitness world by competing in NPC. She got her big break by posting on Instagram about her fitness journey. She grew a lot of muscle mass very quickly which some find very debatable. She became a sponsored athlete for Shredz Supplement which at the time was huge. They had a lot of issues with some of their athletes and scamming people so that was shut down very quickly.

We strive to be healthy but we face some challenges along the way. One of them being: work. Wait Wait Wait! Don’t go rushing to quit your job just yet! What I mean is that a good portion of us sit at our desk for 10+ hours a day. This isn’t the most ideal situation for your health journey but there are little things you can do here and there that can help make your cubicle/desk a much better work environment.

We live in a world where we are led to believe that more is always better. More food, more money, more hair and more exercise with no rest days. In theory that sounds great! You burn more and you will lose weight quicker. However, what your not taking into account is your hormones and stress that all affect your fitness journey.

We live in a society where almost everyone is on a diet. It may be you, your co-worker, spouse, friend, and the list goes on. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nearly 70% of Americans remain overweight. So what does that tell you?

I get asked this question a lot, by friends, family, clients , etc. Basically everyone is intrigued by this question. I think it's partially because everyone is looking for an easy fix to losing weight and getting healthy. I mean if not there wouldn’t be an entire industry of supplements and diet pills promising to get you thin quick, Or maybe they just want to maximize their time at the gym since most don’t really like it but they go because they figure it's the only way they will lose weight.
