Melissa Moves Well

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Program…

In Dimensions of Wellness  •  by Melissa, March 17, 2020  •  
Whew. Well, last week certainly took a very quick turn into crazy town. Luckily, my husband and I were paying early attention to the news and were pretty well stocked up on supplies before the Great Toilet Paper Run of 2020. On the other hand,...

Color Me Healthy: Red

In Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, March 10, 2020  •  
Hello my wellness warriors! I have been wanting to tackle a new series involving nutrition for awhile now. So I sat down to do some research (read: scroll through Instagram and Pinterest) to see what is new and happening. And while I came up with...

Re-Evaluating Goals

In General Fitness, Planning and Programming  •  by Melissa, March 3, 2020  •  
There is something about a new year and a fresh start (especially this year with a fresh decade) that encourages us to set goals to be the best versions of ourselves. There is also something about trying to put those lofty expectations into practice that...

In Nutrition and Eats, Travel  •  by Melissa, February 25, 2020  •  
I previously mentioned that my family and I had the amazing opportunity to live in Germany for six months in 2019. And since travel and living outside of our comfort zones checks a lot of wellness boxes, I’ve decided to devote some blog time to...

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...

Impressions from Germany, Part 1: Exercise

In Dimensions of Wellness, Travel  •  by Melissa, January 28, 2020  •  
In my very last post of 2019  I mentioned that my family was fortunate enough to have lived in Germany for six months last year. Since travel and moving (literally in our case) outside our comfort zones tick about a bazillion wellness boxes, I thought...

What I Eat in a Day – Bowl Edition

In Dimensions of Wellness, Nutrition and Eats  •  by Melissa, January 21, 2020  •  
The What I Eat in a Day format is a popular one in the influencer sphere. Every diet pro and fitness coach posts these. And, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know this ain’t my first rodeo with it either. I certainly like to...

Muscle Balance

In Strength Training  •  by Melissa, January 14, 2020  •  
There is a concept that is little discussed and often overlooked by the vast majority of exercisers. Until, of course, the dreaded injury rears its ugly head and forces us to rehab or physical therapy. In fact, many personal trainers that I have worked with...
