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.

Arm Blaster Workout
I have to tell you, being on Fall Break has been exactly what I needed. With the past eight weeks being insanely busy, it has been so nice to just be on my own schedule. It's hard to believe that it's already Wednesday, but time just seems to fly no matter what. My...
Made Ya Sweat EMOM Workout
This afternoon the cross country team competes in its second race! I am pretty excited to see what the team can do since a lot of them are new to the sport and last week's race was more of a learning experience. Hopefully their shin splints don't give them too much...
15 No-Equipment Workouts
I don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here, it seems as though fall is on it's way. The mornings have just the faintest chill in the air and the breezes just a hint of that tell-tale fall smell. Though I adore fall, the dark, cold days that follow are...

Tabata Abs Workout
For the past month or so, I've been crushing hard on Tabata style workouts. They are quick, intense, and leave me super sweaty. If you've never done a Tabata-style workout, they work on a 4-minute cycle. You complete the move with high intensity for 20 seconds, then...
Timed Countdown Workout
With a trip to Ireland and London happening on Saturday, I've spent the past two days at a very empty school tackling my to do list. Since I am missing a few days of work, and arriving back the night before the students start, I want to make sure most things are ready...

35-Minute Bike Interval Workout
Happy Fourth of July Weekend! Hopefully you had a fun and safe holiday. Rob and I snagged tickets to a concert at Red Rocks to see Uncle Kracker, Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, and Blue Traveler. Smash Mouth was my first every CD, so I was pretty pumped to be there. Red...
Basic Card Workout
Yesterday, it was snowing and gross outside (yes, snow in May), and I just didn’t have it in me to head down to the gym. I wanted to workout after filming videos for the Spring Burn; I was just not motivated to leave the house to do it. Enter the Basic Card Workout. I...
Arm Burner 1,000 Workout
For whatever reason, I've been crushing on 1,000 workouts. I just love how they leave room to fit in all sorts of exercises that work all parts of the body and that you can do them in any order and denomination that you want. This means they keep things interesting....
Powerhouse Leg Workout
With the weather finally being consistently nice, the gym has been packed with people trying to get summer body ready. (Check out the Spring Burn if you're one of those people!) There is one guy in particular at my apartment complex's gym who chews gum extremely...
Spring Fling 1,000 Workout
It's only Monday, but so far, spring break rocks! After spending about two hours of my morning at the happiest place on earth, the DMV, I came home and did a few house chores mixed in with a Sex and the City marathon that was happening on TV. This video is what kept...
