You are ready to get toned?
I am so happy for you!
It can be a big change to go from focusing on losing weight to getting toned and you should be celebrating this next step in your health and fitness.
When I stopped just chasing weight loss and dialed down my long runs and straight cardio days, I was very unsure about what to do. Weights were confusing, gyms intimidating, and range of motion lacking.
Using strategic workout plans, specific exercises, and heavier weights, I was able to get strong, toned, and a new love for using weights.
This site is full of at home workouts you can easily do with a set of dumbbells, ways to improve your nutrition to maximize your lifting time, and ways to stay motivated.
Even though you are ready to get toned, knowing where to start can be a bit daunting. I am here to take away that overwhelm and give you the plan and strategies that will work for you. Book your free 30 minute Zoom call here.

Strength Rounds Workout
Woohoo! You made it to Friday! Did anyone else have a long week after all the Easter weekend festivities? Rob's sister and her family were visiting from Minnesota and we had a blast going to the pool, eating at Bad Daddy's Burgers, hiking at Dinosaur Ridge, and having...
Timed Base Measures No Equipment Workout
We survived! The first week back after a break always seems pretty long, but thankfully this week went by quickly due to dinner with friends, some teacher's being out, and the random snowy morning we had on Tuesday. Denver has not seen much of any snow this winter and...
Simple Move Count Up Workout
It has been quite a week over here! We opted for a spring break staycation this year and it has been so much fun (and busy) to hang out with Zoey. I like taking her out of daycare for the time I have off and give her some out in the world experiences apart from must...
Arm and Leg 12ers Workout
Woohoo! It is almost spring break! Once work ends today, I get the whole week off. Since Zoey's daycare gives teachers a discount in which we do not have to pay for care, or partially pay for care, if we are not in school, I get to spend the whole week with our girl....
Take Anywhere Cardio EMOM Workout
I am not sure when your spring break falls, but we are only one week away over here! While this has been one of my best years of teaching, spring break is always a much welcomed and needed rest after the general hecticness of third quarter. Thankfully, I get to spend...
Core Stability Workout
For the past few weekends here in Denver, it has been too cold to go outside for too long. Well, at least too cold for me. So, I have been coming up with new toddler activities for Zoey. Two weekends ago, she could not get enough of scooping dried beans from cups into...
10 Ways To Make Your Gym Time Quick And Efficient
When working with new clients, it seems that one of the toughest barriers to working out is actually having the time to workout. There is a perception that a workout needs to be a full hour or more of a completely sweaty, leave-you-so-sore-you-can’t-sit-down time....
Boots & Leggings Leg Workout
Good evening, friends, and happy end of Monday! I hope you had a relaxing and fun weekend. This weekend I challenged Rob to throw out or donate 100 items from around our house. This meant that each of us had to find our own 100 things to remove. Granted, it took us...
Group Fitness Workouts
Every Saturday, a group of women in my neighborhood get together at our local park for a workout. I organized the group fitness workouts as a way to meet more people in the community and to get in a good sweat with some new friends. The best part is most of us bring...
Seconds Strength Full Body Workout
Happy Wednesday Everyone! I hope your week has slowed down in terms of business, but has sped up so the weekend arrives quicker. I’m spending the day doing curriculum design, whomp whomp. Truthfully, lesson planning is one of my favorite parts of teaching, but with...
9 Ways To Stay Healthy When You Have No Time To Workout
The past few weeks have been busy. Things like teaching four separate classes, grading, coaching cross country, helping put in the new kitchen, and camping, this is the first weekend I haven't had a full agenda. And it has been glorious. The downside to all that go go...
Bodyweight AMRAP 30 Workouts
Congratulations on making it to Wednesday! It’s all downhill from here (in a good way). Since I’ve had something after school every night so far, I am looking forward to a mellow Thursday and Friday apart from work and cross country practice. Our neighbors have...
