I Wish, I Wonder, I Hurt
I wish there was more I could do right now. My husband wishes he could have done more in the past. I wonder if we could have made a bigger difference. I hurt because we’re stuck and feeling helpless.

My husband willingly answered the call and completed two, 12-month tours in the Middle East many years ago. We were still only dating and had no children.

HIIT It with the Right Intensity
HIIT has been shown in various studies to be more efficient at caloric burn in the fat-torching department than steady-state cardio, both during and after your workout. Everyone wants to get the most bang for their buck, so why not go to as many HIIT classes as possible?

When Exercise Makes You Feel Worse
You know that old saying, “too much of any good thing can be a bad thing?” It’s true in just about every situation, including an exercise regimen. While a balanced amount of movement has its place in a healthy life, too much of it can cause devastating issues, including body dysmorphia, exercise dependency, even a full-blown exercise disorder.
What Back to School Means for Milspouses
The realities of military life can be challenging: frequent moves, job changes, all while managing the daily stresses of military service. The constant change in military life can make it challenging for military spouses to go back to school and, ultimately, enhance their career opportunities.
