Just because I like to have a little fun doesn’t mean I take a break from working out. Memorial Day was perfect kick off weekend to a busy summer. On Saturday, Roomie and I went for a 6 mile run. I did 30 second sprints, with 90 second recovery runs in the middle of our [...]

Last Friday, I was invited down to the Reebok headquarters in Canton with 15 other Fitfluential ambassadors. We were prepared to do an hour of CrossFit and Cardio Dance. I knew I was excited to try Cross Fit but I was shocked at how fun Cardio Dance really was. I was able to bring my [...]

The food fest and post feast coma is over. It’s the second day into the holiday season, the time of year most prone to overeating and weight gain. On top of that, it’s another day closer to finals if you’re a student, meaning crunched time and tons of stress. Don’t let this weigh you down, [...]

I’m on my way to San Francisco for the third and final Urbanathlon! Here is a special guest post from Laura. Enjoy! The dining hall. Some consider it a necessary evil for survival, others consider it their culinary mecca, although it never goes entirely either way. The ‘d-hall’, as I refer to it, is a [...]

Nantucket is as close to home you can get and still really feel like you are on vacation.  It is one of my top five favorite places to visit.  Given my job, it’s important to stay fit while away for an entire week and Nantucket proved it to be easy.  Not drinking proved to be [...]
