Health & Fitness

Even under the best of circumstances, striking a balance between “real life” and focusing on health and fitness is no easy task. Fold in military spouse life, and it kicks that challenge up a notch! 

This category will give you insight from a milspouse perspective, including workouts, celebrating victories (large and small), and how to put your health as a priority, no matter what milspouse life throws your way. 

Trust us. These great resources will make you “sit-up” and take notice. Don’t “weight” too long or “waist” any time.  “Run” through these blogs. We are serious. “Jump” to it. 

PS: Don’t skip leg day. 

Re-wiring Those Resolutions

Re-wiring Those Resolutions

by | Jan 22, 2021 | , , ,

Of all New Year’s resolutions, the most popular is exercising to get in shape (19.7%) followed by eating better to lose weight (18.3%). Unfortunately, only 11.3% turn these goals into long-term lifestyle changes, which is a little bleak, right? I did not want to write about New Year’s resolutions in December, because we can all use a little inspiration to keep going in the middle of an already chaotic January. 2021 can still be the advent of those long-term lifestyle goals with a few SMART tweaks.

With a New Year, Comes New HOPE

With a New Year, Comes New HOPE

It’s finally 2021, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror.

Just because the year has changed, though, does not mean the trying circumstances of the past year have relented. Last year brought unprecedented hardships across all walks of life, and those challenges to our health, economy, and way of life will persist for the foreseeable future.

2021 Can Be a Year of Spring Cleaning, If We Let It.

2021 Can Be a Year of Spring Cleaning, If We Let It.

by | Jan 14, 2021 | , , ,

You might have read that title and said something like, “Whoa. I don’t want to deep clean all year!”

Slow your scroll.

What I mean by “spring cleaning” is less about ridding our homes of physical things and more about letting go of negative thinking.

(However, if you’re like me and getting ready for a PCS, it could be a thing to consider!)

I don’t usually have New Year’s resolutions, and going into 2021, I don’t still have them.

Instead, I’m going into 2021 with an intention: positivity.

5 Tips for Making Home Exercise Work

5 Tips for Making Home Exercise Work

by | Dec 27, 2020 | , ,

This is a crazy time, right?

We are in a situation where our homes are more multifunctional than ever—school, office, home, and gym.

This has been a topic of conversation for a lot of people, and Instagram has blown up with hashtags featuring some unique perspectives on exercise at home, even yoga poses with a wine glass in hand.  While some have found the silver lining of this pandemic (e.g. more hours to workout, more time in nature and with family, or more mindfulness), others have found the stress of homes crowded with kids or fur babies to be a blessing.
