Do you need to sign-up for a challenge to get yourself on a work-out routine? Well, I do. I don’t consider myself as a personal trainer. I am, however, your cheer leader or your work-out buddy. I don’t have the physique of a body builder or that of a bikini competitor BUT I love what exercise does for my body. And with that I can say that I am “confidently fit”. Over the years (more like a decade now), I learned that what you eat (nutrition) plays a BIG part in weight loss/gain or in being healthy.  (And yes, I completed a nutritional rebalancing challenge, too.)

Our glutes are an important muscle group.  It’s not just about fitting nicely into our favorite jeans. Our backside consists of three major muscles that are incredibly important to our hips – whether we’re extending, flexing or rotating. However, since most of the hours of our day are spent sitting, our glutes weaken, and sometimes our muscles atrophy, which may result in back pain and knee pain.
