    Good morning! Today I plan on doing some kind of cardio, not sure what yet. I also booked myself a tattoo appointment as a Christmas gift to myself, so I'll be getting that this afternoon which I'm really excited about! It's also our anniversary so not sure if we will do something tonight or...

    Good morning! Today was ICE Chiseled Upper Body: love that one! Was able to go up in some of the weights today which was awesome. Belinda, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this with your shoulder. For some reason, the research for what sets people up for adhesive capsulitis is lacking...

    Good morning! Took me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things after an awesome (and exhausting) conference in Austin. I met so many amazing people and learned so many things! But also glad to be back and into my own routine...before we leave for NC on Monday to see my in-laws for...

    Hi everyone! Quick checkin for me today: I'm at a conference in Austin and have less free time than I initially thought I would lol. Workouts this week have been...not so good. Poor time management on my part! hoping to get back in the swing when I return Monday! I'll get to personals and all...

    Hi everyone! Today was legs at the gym + stair training and treadmill work on an incline. Also had to bring my fiance to pick his car up from the shop. I was supposed to do admin work today but decided to just be lazy instead lol. I needed a break. Debbie, the weather has been so nice! Minus...

    Hi everyone! Today was Strong Body Stacked Sets Upper + abs. My abs are NOT strong lol. Probably cuz I skip them so often: gotta work on that! I'm done with work for the day so I might go for a walk, especially considering how beautiful it is outside! Cookie, the weather is gorgeous, isn't it...

    Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA: we adopted (another) cat on Friday from my fiance's client. The family couldn't take care of him anymore and he has a history of being abused, so I couldn't stand to have him go to a shelter. The weekend was...interesting...getting him acclimated to our 2 other...

    Good morning! Yesterday I did a walk and exercised with a client. Today will probably be another rest day; I've been SO exhausted since we got home from the trip. Also it's TOTM so that's probably not helping. Debbie, the park was very crowded; they say it gets most crowded in the summer...

    Hi everyone, I'm still alive!! I'm so sorry for not checking in: the Friday before we left for Zion, it was insane with work and then packing. We had to leave for our flight at 2:30am that morning to get to the airport on time. We got back this Sunday and then my friend came up to visit and just...

    Good morning! Leg has been achy the past couple of days; I think I pushed it a little too hard in my workout Tuesday because it had been feeling really good; this thing is so unpredictable lol. Today will be some mobility drills and maybe some abs. It's a light client day which is nice for once...

    Hi all! This morning was my own leg workout. I think I overdid it cuz my leg is super sore but I have been moving it around a lot which has been helping. Got an A on my skin check at the derm this morning so I don't have to go back for another 6 months, woohoo!! Went to Harmon today (not sure if...

    Hi everyone! Today might be a rest day, might be a yoga day: I haven't decided yet lol. Chores are mostly done! Tomorrow I have my 6 month appt with the dermatologist and I am nervous; I was diagnosed with melanoma in Feb 2022 and had surgery for it. They had to remove some lymph nodes to make...

    Happy Saturday everyone! Did my own leg training today and spent way too much money on clothes I def don't need for our trip Belinda, I hope you and your DH are enjoying DC! I haven't been to Georgetown since high school; such a cool place! A few weeks in Germany would be great to get to spend...

    Wireless Headset With Mic for Macbook?

    Was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction: I'm looking for a wireless headset with a mic that I can use when recording exercise videos for my clients but I cannot, for the life of me, find any that are compatible with a Macbook. I have earbuds but am not crazy about the mic...

    ICE Next Week!

    My first rotation after my knee injury was also ICE! Love that series! My biggest pitfall with this knee was stairs, so I knew I needed to work on stepping, but like you said, erring on the side of caution. If it helps, my first attempt at BCC was using the platform only; I kept notes on how it...

    Hi everyone! This week has been crazy. I've been programming my own workouts cuz I didn't feel like doing a video, mainly focusing on leg strength/mobility/endurance because our Zion trip is in ONE WEEK. I'm nervous but also excited! Today I'm probably gonna do arms and a hill workout. Cookie...
