In my experience in working with many client's, one of the most effective fitness methods for helping one to loose weight and increase energy is to run. Why is this?

Using these muscles allows for greater calories and fat burn leading to a strong, learner, healthier YOU! What is different about this fitness boot camp is that we will use running as a centerpiece  of …

As far we are concerned, excise is a dirty word. The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck.

Calling all food worriers! I am a health and nutrition counselor that spent years worrying about the right and wrong foods and fighting with my weight. I never imagined I could have an easy, or even nourishing, relationship with food and my body. Several health issues surfaced for me when I was processing emotional changes in my life. I was forced to connect with my body (rather than calories, restrictions, points or a plan) for the first time. I stopped struggling with my weight not because I f …

The Running Yogis offer free 20 minute mini-class following group or individual runs. In order to be efficient runners, our bodies have to maintain a certain amount of stiffness (hello, hips and hamstrings), but too much stiffness equals altered form, pain, and eventually injury. Yoga is the perfect way to keep the stretching active and involve multiple muscle groups simultaneously—this is what improves flexibility in tight bodies. This speedy, mini-class will focus on feet, hamstrings, IT bands …
