What makes for an ideal routine? It took me YEARS of trial and error to answer that question. If there was a type of exercise, trendy workout, cult-favorite class, or sparkly new piece of equipment promising results out there, I tried it. I’m going to venture a guess that you’ve perhaps done a little bit of that, too! What I learned through all that toiling is that creating an IDEAL routine – and more importantly, an effective and sustainable one – meant turning everything I’d ever been told about exercise on its head.

While fitness might begin with pushups and crunches, to me it’s an opportunity to accomplish SO MANY OTHER THINGS! It’s stress release. It’s pain relief. It’s “me” time. It’s mental dexterity. It’s proof you’re capable. It’s the undercurrent that supports everything else amazing you do. It’s...whatever it is you want it to be! When your fitness routine does ALL THAT...it really is the best!
