Exercise Saves Lives

Exercise has been proven to prevent and lessen the effects of illnesses and diseases.  My mother is living proof of that!  She was diagnosed with Schleroderma in her early 30’s while raising 3 children and holding down the fort while dad was working.  I can only imagine her mindset when she got the news.  Schleroderma is an autoimmune disease that …

Road to Recovery

As most of you know, I broke my 4th metacarpal bone in my right hand a month ago.  BIG NEWS!!!!! I got my cast off last Thursday.  They also took the pin out, which was loads of fun.  I looked up at my hand and my doc was screwing the pin out with what looked like a pair of needle …

Team “No Mullarkey” Hits the Stage

I wanted to congratulate “No Mullarkey” client Erin Cheatwood for accomplishing her goal of competing in her very 1st figure competition.  If competing was easy everyone would be walking around with amazing physiques.  It takes a lot of hard work, discipline and persistence not only with workouts but also nutrition.  Erin persevered during her 12 week competition prep program and …

The Key is Preparation

Nutrition is probably one of the most difficult parts of living a healthy lifestyle.  Most of my clients seem to initially struggle with sticking to their clean eating plans.  I have learned over the years that it is all about Balance and Preparation.  You have to make time to meal prep, but don’t be afraid to cheat now and again! …

You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind Too
