I’ve been weight training & working out since I was 17 or 18 years old. I’ve been a personal trainer since 19. I’ve counseled, trained & motivated literally hundreds of people to lose fat.

Pumpkin patches are brimming with orange jewels and the furnace is on… it’s time to take control of my kitchen again! Fall is soup weather. And if you’re watching your…
Happy Fall! It’s still gorgeous outside and there’s plenty of time for fun, outdoor workouts with your little one tucked snug in her stroller. But what do you do on a rainy day?
