Over the years I’ve drastically cut back on my sugar consumption. I used to make regular desserts…but now it’s an every-so-often thing. And when I do decide to have a treat, I want it to be quick to make & small in portion size. Enter Lemon Possets with Berries! The original 15th century posset was
Last week I did a recap of my Top 3 favorite strength exercises (click here to read it) for time-crunched athletes. Done together they efficiently & quite effectively work your whole body – top to bottom, front to back. So, you think you don’t have enough time to lift…think again! With these 3 exercises you
As a coach I am blessed to wear many hats. The Friend hat. The Counselor hat. The Life Coach hat. The Relationship Coach hat. The Let’s-Be-Realistic hat. The We-Need-To-Cut-Back hat.

The 80/20 Rule suggests that endurance athletes spend 80% of their time training at low intensity & 20% of their time training at moderate to high intensity. Pretty basic! And as a general prescription for training…it’s actually quite
Oh, Valentine’s Day. A day dedicated to love & affection. A Hallmark holiday that originated with the ancient festival of Lupercalia – a raucous, drunken fertility rite in which Roman men & women paired off. Maybe you’re planning to celebrate like the Romans of old! Or…maybe…instead of a crazy wine-filled bacchanal, you’re celebrating your sweetie
I just recently celebrated my 23rd year of Performance High coaching! It’s been quite the ride – 23 yrs of change, adjustment, challenge & learning. One of my biggest adjustments has been to my coaching style. Whereas I used to coach in a more top-down way (i.e., Let me tell you how to do X.),
