Before I even moved to the ocean, one of my favorite quotes (not attributed to anyone as far as I can tell) was: the waves of the sea help me get back to me. Which is true. But yoga does that for me too. Which is why I headed down to the beach during the magic…
September is National Yoga Month. To celebrate, CorePower Yoga is asking yogis everywhere What’s Your Why? Upload any photo—preferably of you doing yoga—on their site here, fill in your why, and boom: a cool graphic just for you. My mind, body, and soul have been craving yoga recently. CorePower has 7 studios in OC, 4 of which I’ve been to—just…

I average 2 nalgenes at work a day, and consider 3 nalgenes a good day. This doesn’t include a nalgene consumed during fitness—and I believe at least one nalgene should be consumed per fitness activity. In short, I’m all about hydration. I drink BCAAs and electrolytes and use lemon and do all sorts of things…

Which is why I believe this is good for women, and sports: Earlier today, five members of the US women’s national soccer…
The Texans are 100% my NFL football team, but lost in the first round of the playoffs (playoffs! made it, suckas!) My #2 team is the Denver Broncos, on account of my Colorado time, and friends who love the donkeys. So we know who I’m rooting for on Saturday. Here’s what I would be wearing…
Last Christmas it was Pendeleton x Ugg and now this?! As if I wasn’t already obsessed. Customizable Pendleton Nikes?! Are you kidding me?! You can even put all the Pendleton patterns on one shoe! (But, don’t. That would look terrible.) Available in Air Max 90s (pictured), Air Force 1s high, mid, and low, and some sort of Roshe…
Why is it that when lifters want to get lean or even just skinny, they start spinning? Cardio? But what specifically about spinning makes it better cardio than anything else? I don’t know. But will tell you that I. Hate. Spin. But I have been going consistently, and, well, it works. If you wanna be…
It’s no secret that I love yoga, but I haven’t talked much about it recently—mainly because I haven’t been taking many classes (the move, the injury, the lack of a studio…) Which is why I’m excited to take YogaWorks’ Fall Into Yoga 14-day Challenge starting today. The challenge is $14 for 14 days of classes…
