Home stretch, my little elves! Presents to be wrapped, Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinners to be planned, shopped for, or ordered. Baking to finish or start, final touches on the decor and of course those last-minute "oh my gosh, I forgot to get a gift for so and so" dashes to CVS (no judgement please, …

Monday Motivation!
In case you were wondering.... Now go run! Keli 🙂
Maintenance Running
Boot-camp on Saturdays and soccer games on Sundays had cut my weekend running for the past 2 1/2 months. Soccer is a running game but it's not a steady consistent run. It's stop, start, run fast, jog, stop, start, etc. for 90 minutes. Sure my fast-twitch improved but I'm a distance runner and to be able …
20 Minutes or Less
The holidays are fast approaching and that means we're going to go from our "everyday normal" warp speed to Mach-10. Shopping, cooking, eating, celebrating, wrapping presents for Christmas morning or the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and more eating. Then there's the holiday socializing that will include eating and drinking. Yikes! As a fitness professional I see …

Get Intense
Here's a reality check. You have to get uncomfortable to get results. I'm not talking about running so fast you throw up, not being able to breathe (at all) during HIIT, or a workout so hard you can't walk normally for 3 days. But you should be out of your comfort zone, sweating, breathing hard …
Lessons Learned from the SF Giants
Happy Friday! I had a lot of fun watching the SF Giants in the NLCS playoffs this past week. In full disclosure it's always way more fun to win than lose but in terms of how the games were played; hats off to both teams for some seriously awesome baseball. There's no disputing that the St. …

Want to reach your fitness goals? Follow these 4 simple rules. Yes, rules. Because "tips" are just little suggestions. 1. Never Miss a Monday (Workout) Monday sets the tone for your entire week.

Tell your inner critic to take a hike
Today let's have a little chat with your inner voice. You know, the stupid little voice that shrieks in your brain when you're instructed to do a Burpee (or a few). The one that tells you flat out "Hell to the NO" when you add some running into your daily walks. Or maybe yours likes …
