To reclaim my personal social media accounts for pictures of my family, my cats, and stupid memes that make me laugh, I've found a new home for all things fitness, health, and wellness. It will ALL be under my fitness brand OutFIT Marin. So head on over to Instagram and Facebook and "like" or "follow" …

Trainer Tip – Build Muscle
Here's a fun fact. If you want to burn calories and torch fat you're better off hitting the weight room (or carving out a few feet of space in your kid's room). Strength training, whether you lift weights, use resistance bands, or your own bodyweight, offers many benefits. Here are just a few: Boosts your …
How to Turn Your Walk into a Great Workout
I'm a runner. It's my primary form of fitness and it gives me that "je ne sais quoi" that I can't get from other activities. So imagine my annoyance when I crack my baby toe into my ottoman one morning in late December and my running is put on ice (along with my toe) for …
Fitness Friday – A Quickie
Here is my go-to strength training workout when I'm really, really, really short on time. Squats, Push Ups and a Plank. That's it. Do 3-5 sets of 10 each of the squats and pushups, then settle in for a 60 second plank. You can mix up the squats (with or without weights or a band) and …

Welcome to days 6-10 of the Stronger Summer Challenge! I'm hoping the first 5 days went well. Some of the circuits for this challenge may be a bit, um challenging so here's a few tips to get you through these and many of your other workouts. Some hacks, if you will. Focus on the repetition …
Vacay This Way
I'm starting with the assumption that you pack at least one set of workout clothes with you on your trips, vacations or getaways. (Humor me.) Here's a very short, full body, no-equipment workout that you can do anywhere. Any. Where. And when you're done you can lay your workout clothes on your patio chairs to …
Combatting High Blood Pressure
Last year there were changes to guidelines on high blood pressure and because of that, almost half of all Americans have hypertension. Hypertension can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and a host of other problems and the scary part is that symptoms may not present themselves until it's too late. What's important to note is …
