I don’t know about you guys, but I consider oral health to be an important piece of the health and wellness puzzle. When I was fresh out of college, I didn’t pay much attention to it. My mom wasn’t making my dental appointments anymore, I didn’t always have dental insurance prior to my government jobs,…
I’m pretty sure that’s not what it’s called, but that’s what I’m calling it. Tomorrow afternoon, I will attempt my first golf. I am going golfing so I will be a golfing golfer who golfs. Or something like that. Aside from putt-putt, at which I am amazing (don’t ask for references), I have only hit a…
Ya girl loves to hike. Hiking is basically a mental health ritual for me. I love being in the woods or out on some cliffs, or whatever the terrain might be. There is something very freeing and very human about being out in the wilderness. Sometimes I hike alone, but I love hiking with friends….
On Tuesdays, I teach indoor cycling at the Sport & Health at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda, Maryland. The format I teach is called SPARK! This is a signature class was developed by an indoor cycling instructor with US Fitness, and she led the class where I got certified! People often ask me what…

Have you ever hit a fitness plateau? Have you ever known you were on the plateau right when you hit it? I recently hit a plateau and didn’t realize it for a couple of weeks. I couldn’t figure out how I could be teaching indoor cycling classes at least three times a week, playing volleyball…
This post is sponsored by Brita, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. At three indoor cycling classes a week, plus a minimum of two volleyball games a week, PLUS whatever other types of training (e.g. running!) I do each week, I drink a lot of water. Unfortunately, because I do not…
I have some updated goals, y’all! I’ve been rocking and rolling with my level of activity and getting into running again. I’m noticing little changes, like the fact that I can teach a full indoor cycling class with fewer water breaks for myself, that I have more definition in my arms, that my legs are…
I finally got to try cryotherapy! My friend Tikima (the second half of DMV Fitness Fam) got us hooked up with our first sessions at Thrive CryoStudio, which is located inside Symmetry Salon in Rockville, Maryland (right next to the Twinbrook Metro station). I had seen ads for Thrive all over the place – including…
