  • The Progress We Make

    Focus To Get Your Diet Back on Track Happy Monday! Every weekend seems busier than the previous –but all in good ways.  Working out, of course was on the docket but I also watched the team CrossFit Affiliate League competition at CrossFit Impavidus on Saturday.

  • Klout Perk: Sony Action Cam

    So I have to share something super cool that happened this week. As most everyone knows — I do social media marketing for a living as well as my passion. I love both sides of it –figuring out ways to use it market to certain demographics and then the flip side, to inspire and support…

  • Deadlifts and Handstand Push Ups – The stuff I was made for

    Yes, one of the CrossFit Girls showed up today. Diane made another appearance. She’s one tough chick but for the most part, I like her because it is shoulders and upper body. Which anyone that takes a look at me can tell — this is the stuff I was made for. I wasn’t born with…

  • Kids and Fitness

    Yesterday, I received an email from someone who had read my most recent blog post in the Ashburn Patch about getting kids into fitness. I fully believe there is no reason that is good enough to not be on top of this issue as parents. It’s part of our job to not only lead by…
