IIN Chat: Health & Wellness Quotes I Love

Last weekend I aced my third test for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which means that I am 75% done with my health coaching certification! Time really does fly when you're studying and doing work that you're passionate about and are infinitely interested in. Being the quote lover that I am, when I was studying for my last test, I noticed some favorite concepts and quotes that I had jotted down throughout my recent lessons. Since I think that you all may enjoy them too, today I thought I'd share them. Let's get to it! ... [Read More]

Train Smarter, Not Harder with Fitwall Workouts

The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Fitwall.  As you may know, I love to switch up my fitness routine and try new workouts often. I'm always looking for ways to keep it fun and interesting! That's why I'm excited to be adding a new type of workout to my exercise regimen this month called Fitwall. Fitwall classes are 40-minute sessions filled with strength, cardio and flexibility training. Every class participant trains in their own workspace - a personal "wall" area that has rows to stand and hold onto, cables, and a step that you can connect to a row for certain exercises. With a brand motto to Train Smarter, Not Harder, and the unique approach of training the body as a whole to burn mega calories, Fitwall aims to make workouts as efficient as ... [Read More]

The 2014 IDEA World Fitness Convention: My First Time Doing PiYo {Day 1 Recap}

Hi friends! Hope that you all had a fabulous weekend. It has been quite a whirlwind for me the last bunch of days attending the IDEA World Fitness Convention, which included 12,000 people from over 60 countries! Within IDEA World was Blogfest, a 2-day event specifically for healthy living bloggers. It was hosted by Fit Approach, a company that I'm at ambassador for, along with a lot of great people. Let me tell you, I'm just about to burst from experiencing so much awesomeness at my first ever blogging conference! Let's dive right into the highlights for me of day 1 of the conference... The first morning started bright and early with a yoga session led by San Francisco yoga instructor Stephanie Ring. It was a nice way to begin the conference by stretching and sweating!

Tricks for Sneaking in Exercise While Hosting Guests

Hi friends! Tomorrow I'm heading up to Anaheim for IDEA World and Blogfest! I was getting psyched seeing so many people posting on social media about their travels to the conference today. Anaheim is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from my house, so I'll be heading up there tomorrow evening. Conference recaps to come on the blog, but in the meantime, you can check me out on Twitter and Instagram to see what I'm up to at IDEA World! :-) Speaking of travel, today's topic is about when people travel to visit you. Living 2,500 miles away from my family, my hubby's family, and a lot of my friends, I'm happy to have house guests come visit and spend time with me... and since I live in beautiful California and they love me, they like to visit! When people stay with me, obviously my ... [Read More]
