Breakthrough 100-Day Challenge: Workout of the Week(s)
I love January. It’s such a fresh start and a great time to refocus on wellness. After the holiday season, I’m always ready to eat cleaner and reinvest in fitness. And after the holidays of 2020, where we spent so much time inside and spent a lot of time baking for Christmas gifts – double…
Hip-Hop Fit with Mike Peele: Workout of the Week
When I was a little girl, I was dancing ALL. THE. TIME. My mom enrolled me in ballet, tap and jazz from second through eighth grade. In fifth grade, I started cheerleading – which is also extremely dance intensive – and cheered through senior year in high school. To this day, it’s not uncommon for…

Recommendations for podcasts that will lift mind and spirit. These are great paired with a long walk.
7 Yoga and Dance Workouts for Lock-Down Survival
If you’re reading this post in real time, it’s a good bet that your life has been (or soon will be) changed by the coronavirus outbreak. I’m in Maryland and, like many other people across the country, my orbit has pretty much been reduced to my house, save occasional trips to the grocery store or…
Workout of the Week: 30-Minute Full Body Toning Workout with Jake DuPree

Workout of the Week: 30-Minute Caribbean Dance with Selena Watkins
This was, by far, the most-fun workout I did this week! During this workout, I absolutely did the best whining (wining? sp?) – a type of Caribbean dance – I’ve ever done in my life. Seriously. All I kept wishing was that I’d known the mechanics of these dances back in my going-to-the-club hey day…
Workout of the Week: 20-Minute Toned Belly and Arms Workout
Anyone who has a big annual event at work knows that the lead up to that event can be all-consuming. That is definitely the case each year at my job as we prepare for our annual meeting. This year was exceptionally crazy because at said meeting, we launched a new brand. Then, a month later,…
Workout of the Week: 30-Minute Strength Training Workout with Ingrid Clay
I DID NOT want to work out on Friday. The struggle was real getting moving, but I’d intentionally slept in workout clothes the night before to give myself an extra push to exercise in the morning. I queued up this recently posted video on PopSugar since I was in the mood to do a workout…
January: The Most Well-derful Time of the Year
January is one of my very favorite months of the year. It seems like everything is focused on wellness. Healthy living-related content is everywhere you look: morning news, magazines, social media, you name it. One of my best friends has organized a 30-Day Clean Eating and Fitness challenge as a reset. I agreed to participate…
