We all those have days/weeks/months where we wish we had more time to work out. In a perfect world, we’d each have an hour a day that was blocked off and always available to us for sweat sessions to help us take care of our bodies and decompress. But the world we live in— sadly— […]

There are a ton of great workouts out there—heck, we here at AcaciaTV will even deliver them straight to you through iTunes and Amazon Prime. But when it comes to cardio, it can be tough to find low-impact options that you can do anywhere. What about those times when bouncing around isn’t an option? I […]

It’s very easy to fall into a rut over the long, dark, cold winter months. Snuggling up on the couch and staying indoors become the norm as we eagerly wait for warmer days to help us shake things up. But spring is coming, my friends! So as we begin the steady march out of winter […]

Last week, I gave you a workout that you could do in your kitchen, using only a dishtowel, so that you could get it done before breakfast regardless of how chaotic your mornings typically are. This week, I want to take it a step further and talk about how you can use some bedtime rituals before going […]

Mornings are hectic! There is so much you have to do to get yourself and the rest of your household out the door with bellies full of breakfast, combed hair and proper attire, and lunches in hand— it’s a tough job but, as they say, somebody’s gotta do it. So what if I challenged you to try […]

As a trainer, I’d have to say that the statement I hear most frequently during health and fitness conversations is, “I don’t have the time.” Heck, I’ve even said it myself before. The struggle is real. But I ALWAYS feel better and am far more efficient with the time I do have when I take […]

It’s really easy to lose your motivation to workout when you’d rather stay warm and cozy under your blanket than get out of bed and venture into the chilly world beyond your comforter. Can’t say I blame you on this one! Winter can be a tough time for fitness goals. On one hand, you’ve just […]

The last time I saw the stats on New Years Resolutions it was something like 30% of Resolutions don’t survive the first 2 weeks of the year and nearly 40% won’t last a month. So how are you doing with yours? Hopefully you’re on the winning end of these grim stats but if you’ve already […]

  It used to be very difficult to find a yoga studio where you could practice aerial yoga…but now it’s popping up everywhere! I’m finding that many people are extremely curious about it but for various reasons (mostly stemming from fear) they haven’t tried it yet. But, if I were you, I’d try it immediately, […]

So, how are those New Year’s resolutions working out for ya? When it comes to fitness goals, one of the biggest reasons people cite for falling off the wagon is LACK OF TIME. Adding new healthy habits can be really tough when your schedule is already jam-packed and over-booked because, well, let’s face it, there […]

I’m just gonna say it…there are times when keeping our New Year’s Resolutions can feel an awful lot like torture and deprivation. Maybe it’s just me but sometimes I feel like the list of stuff I need to give up to keep the promises I made to myself is endless and it’s frustrating. If this […]

Wow, I can’t believe 2015 is almost over— where did the year go? Last January really doesn’t feel like it was 12 months ago, but the calendar is telling me otherwise, so I guess it must be true. If you’re like most people, now is when you evaluate your fitness goals and resolve to do […]

Right about this time every year, I’ve just about had my fill of holiday music. I start out the season happy to hear holiday songs and you’ll usually find me singing along and busting a move or two. Then, it’s EVERYWHERE…like all the time. Grocery store, television commercials, “on hold” music, office elevators, and on […]

Sometimes working out during the holidays can seem a bit, well…complicated. All year long, we’re spoiled with so many fancy new moves (who knew there were more than 20 ways to do a burpee??) with even fancier equipment like this, and this, and this. And as awesome as it is that fitness has come such […]

I get it, you’re busy. It’s the holidays, we’re all busy. I can see it on the faces of my friends, clients, and passers-by on the street. We’re always in a hurry and we wear a look of panic everywhere we go. Yep, we’re all a bit nuts this time of year. In our hurried […]

Tell me this: has the holiday stress started to get to you yet? Are you freaking out yet about all the shopping, decorating, and cooking? Well, there’s still a little more than a month to go before the New Year, so it’s time to get all that seasonal stress under control. It’s time to replace […]
