Yesterday we completed the Nutrition Challenge (and we'll unpack that challenge later this week), but today we kick off our November Challenge, where we'll tackle movement. It's the simplest of all challenges; your goal is to do some intentional movement/activity for 30 minutes daily. Take a 30- minute strength class, walk, do three 10-minute walks, …

LIVE Workouts on Zoom!
In March 2020, like most fitness professionals, I moved my in-person boot-camp classes online and taught via Zoom. There was a *steep* learning curve to be sure; lighting, camera angles, and formatting a class that can be done in a space the size of a yoga mat and of course figuring out the sound. Oh …

My 30-Day Running Streak
I'm 10 days into a 30-day running challenge. The purpose was to jump-start me back into my running after being sick for almost 6 weeks. Now let's be *very* clear. My "bar" on this is not very high. The rule of my challenge is to run at least 1 mile every day, no matter what. …
Breathing Easy and Back To It
View from the Sun Trail - photo by K. Honsberger I'll spare you the details but suffice it to say, it's been a crappy 4 weeks of just not feeling good. And the cough. Oh my, the cough. I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with whooping cough. It took 5 days of …
Training Update
My race (now virtual) is on Sunday, October 3rd and this past weekend I ran 8 miles. 8.19 to be exact. My goal was to get a 9 miler under my belt before the race but at this point, going from 8 to 10 miles isn't a huge push. It might not be the prettiest …
10 Things I Love About My Peloton
I've had my Peloton since August 11th. Well, now it's "the family's Peloton" - we all have accounts and when I come home from teaching boot-camp there's usually a Honsberger family member's tuchus parked on it. Since I posted about my love affair with my Peloton a lot of people have asked me about it. …
How to Move the Needle
I work very hard to provide interesting content that will appeal to my readers; information, tips, strategies and a perspective that comes from a real live person, who, like you, has to juggle a schedule to go for a run, or who shoves a (non-vegan) donut in her pie hole when stressed. I succeed. I …
The Problem Might Not Be Your Workout
Can you hurt yourself working out? Absolutely. Poor form, poor instruction, weaknesses, imbalances, working with too heavy a weight, trying to keep up with a friend or your workout partner, etc. But what can sideline you more quickly than running with your speedy neighbor is what you do simply living your life. It's the "I'll …
Birthday Burpee Boot-Camp Bash
I love teaching boot-camp on my birthday and like to incorporate something challenging but fun at the same time. So for my 54th bday on Monday, I created 2 workouts highlighting my favorite exercise. The Burpee. One segment was 5 minutes long, and the second was 4 minutes long. And yes, it's a challenging …
