I’m back today to continue a conversation about non-scale victories. In Part 1 of this series, Beyond the Scale: 4 Non-Scale Victories That Show You’re Making Progress we talked about why the number on the scale isn’t the only indicator of progress or success, and why focusing on non-scale victories (NSVs) can completely change the […]

At some point in their health journey, most people have let the number on the scale define how they feel about their progress, or worse, about themselves. That tiny digital readout has the power to influence moods, decisions, even self-worth. But as a coach and fitness professional, I’m here to tell you that the scale […]

Let’s be honest, group workout classes can be a blast. The music is pumping, the energy is high, and you leave dripping in sweat. But if you’re chasing visible results, defined curves, and true body composition change, those 45-minute, cardio-dominant sessions might not be delivering what you really need.

Summer is upon us, and that means barbecues, parties, and nights eating out on the patio with your friends. Want to make a party super uncomfortable super fast? Bust out your food scale on the picnic table to weigh your burger. (Seriously, it makes people crazy uncomfortable.) Or, perhaps you would prefer to take a […]
