On the Move, Mother’s Day, and A Must-Read Debate

On the Move, Mother’s Day, and A Must-Read Debate This week is the last week of school for my kids. It seems around this time each year my husband and I look at each other and say, “This year went by fast, didn’t it?” No single year goes by faster than any other, but for some reason it feels like we missed it.

Glute-Licious: Maybe you’re just not ready for this jelly

Glute-Licious: Maybe you're just not ready for this jelly I’ve had a video circulating around the web for a little over a year. It was from my first in-person training session with Bret back in August 2010.

Moms, Can You Turn Your Passion for Fitness Into a Career? Photo By FamilyMWR Guest Post We all know how difficult it is to get back in shape after a baby. Most of the time getting started proves to be the biggest challenge as we work around these new little people that take over our lives and promote a busy household.
