Should I Try Workout X?

In General Fitness, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, June 16, 2020  •  
Throughout my career advising clients, I have been asked about trying new workouts. Don’t get me wrong, I love chatting with people about different types of workouts. Discussing pros and cons of various exercises and workout structures is fun and I enjoy helping others figure...

My Favorite and Least Favorite Exercises

In Exercise, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, June 2, 2020  •  
Hello Wellness Warriors! Everybody who exercises (or who has exercised at some point) has those exercises they love and those they loathe. Just for fun, today, I thought I would share mine with you. And I broke them down by type of training, too.

Modifying Eagle Pose

In Yoga  •  by Melissa, April 21, 2020  •  
I think it’s time to get back to business. I know many of us have kicked our yoga practices up a notch or started ones as an outlet during the last month or so. And as such, it’s always great to remember that most of...

In Body Positivity, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, April 14, 2020  •  
Hello Wellness Warriors! For today’s post, I want to take a broader look at exercise. So often we get caught up in short term goals and exactly what type of exercise is the “best” for helping us. But the truth is all exercise has value,...

I hope that everyone out there in internetland is doing well and has found some sort of new, albeit very weird, normal. Most other wellness and fitness gurus are jumping in to provide templates for meal planning and prepping or at home workouts under shelter...

Training to Change Body Shape

In Body Positivity, General Fitness  •  by Melissa, February 18, 2020  •  
For years people have used exercise as a means to change (or control) their body’s size. I’ve done it and I can make arguments both for and against. I’m not sure if I would call what I see happening now a new phenomenon, or just...

Protein Intake Simplified

In Nutrition and Eats, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, February 11, 2020  •  
Today I am going to try and tackle on of the most divisive topics in exercise and nutrition. Protein. Cue the scary Jawsesque music. Protein, it’s usage, needs, and supplementation are some of the most talked about topics. Which means there is a lot of...

Modifying Upward Facing Dog or Cobra

In Yoga  •  by Melissa, February 4, 2020  •  
It has been a bit since I’ve posted one of my asana modifications. And I am coming at you with a two-fer. I say that because, although the standard postures are slightly different, these two asanas are both back bends and can be modified in...
