In my baby sisters last year of college, we were all worried we might lose her. Being four years apart, my sister and I have not always been best friends. Growing up there was a lot of fighting, mostly because we didnt relate to each other. But as we got older the connection between us has come to mean more. And when she doesnt know what to do, my baby…

I love goal setting and creating positive intentions. Rather than do this January 1, I do this on new moons, new weeks and occasional Tuesdays for good measures. But not all goals are created equal. If the premise behind your goal is negative and self-damaging, the work put in will also be negative and self-damaging. Some goals people regularly set are impossible to achieve. The following are three Id like…

When the people from IsoBag contacted me to review their product I was really interested. Id always seen all the super fitness folks carrying these things with all their food for the day but wasnt sure if it was worth the investment.

I planned to fill the tank all the way up and then fill it up…

I focused on this for a long time. I will be smart.. I will be generous I will try to be funny but behind that lurked If I cant be beautiful. There are a lot…

My dearest Erik, You deserve your own respect. In your life, like most people, you will fall down and you will get back up. Trust your gut and your journey, but just keep getting back up. There will be times that you will feel like there is no going on. You will feel invisible, unheard and so small. Keep going anyway. You are never invisible. You were not meant to…

I started this website/facebook etc when I became a personal trainer. But aside from clients Ive actually worked with, nothing Ive done online has really been about personal training. Aside from an occasional blip about an upcoming boot camp and having services listed on my webpage Ive never even really used fit mama to advertise my personal training services. Fit Mama Training was never specifically about personal training. It has…
