Last night, I kicked the week off with a 40 minute solo spin workout at my gym. I arrived at the gym, made my way over to the empty spin studio, set up my bike, and turned on my Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout Pandora station. I started off with a 5 minute warm-up…
Woo Hoo!! We’ve reached the end of week 1! I hope this was a great first week for you and no matter the outcome, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to reflect on the past 7 days. For me, Week 1 of the 7 week challenge was just that, a challenge. What I haven’t…

Some days I love playing football and other days, like yesterday, I just want to go home and relax after a long day of work. I’ll be the first to admit that I was in quite the funk when I first arrived at practice yesterday but my amazing teammates quickly helped to boost my energy…
