When I started this review I was out of shape. I was placed on a complete exercise halt due to a bad hamstring sprain for 9+ months. Prior to the [most recent] injury, I would have considered myself an “experienced” exerciser – well, I would have called myself a “heavy… Read more »

Review: Every Woman’s Guide to Foot Pain Relief by Katy Bowman
I first learned of Katy Bowman in a very roundabout fashion: my stylist and I were discussing women’s health issues – specifically diastasis recti – and how there appears to be a dearth of easy to locate information. So I decided to research diastasis recti workouts and books. And I… Read more »
Review: The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz
I purchased The Big Fat Surprise on 27-Jan-2015 – it stayed on Mt. TBR for 1 year, 3 months. I want to start this review with a little information about me: I am currently an omnivore and I consume all foods with the exception of bananas (allergy). I do have… Read more »

Mini- Review: Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr

Review: Strong Curves: A Woman’s Guide to Building a Better Butt and Body by Bret Contreras & Kellie Davis
Note: I really feel conflicted about this book/program so I’ve sat on this review for over a month. I’ve been weight lifting (dumbbells, kettlebells and barbell) for a little under a year. At the time I started using the program in this book, my workouts consisted of a “body split.*”… Read more »
