Ah. Fall temps are here! I love the crisp mornings and cool evenings. Milder temperatures mean we can explore more local hiking options rather than heading to higher ground to avoid the heat. This past weekend, we drove down to Dreamy Draw Park located at 2421 E Northern Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85020 (off the 51 […]

YOUR HEALTH With the holidays rapidly approaching, I thought I should talk about carbohydrates once again. Carbs get a bad rap, especially with the hype around the Keto Diet. If you haven’t already discovered, Keto is very dangerous! Yes, you will lose weight but at the expense of your organs, and the weight WILL […]

YOUR HEALTH Our feet carry us wherever we want to go. We often take them for granted until they hurt, and when our feet hurt, we aren’t happy campers. In my 20s, I got frost bite up to my ankles from ice fishing. I’m lucky the only consequence was collapsed arches, but I’ve been dealing […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have trained with me or attended any of my fitness classes, you know I am a water Nazi. I not only encourage drinking water but carve out breaks during sessions and classes to ensure everyone can hydrate. During any type of exercise, it is critical to remain properly hydrated as our […]

It was 93 degrees—the heat of the day—and I decided to run the steep hill located near our house. It’s a road that leads to a cell tower. It isn’t anything special, but the switchbacks are a butt buster. My goal was up and down three times for a total of three miles. The pavement […]

YOUR HEALTH Most people have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. Whether you call them resolutions or goals, you set yourself up to fail if you do not know the why behind them. For such a small word, “why” has a big punch. It can be the difference between huge success […]

YOUR HEALTH How are you feeling? The holidays can often leave us feeling sluggish. What better way to start the new year off than cleansing our bodies and detoxing? Tons of products on the market are designed to accelerate this process, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money. In fact, simple is […]
Kuma hosts a Christmas party!
My mom is really good at making sure I get plenty of exercise, as you know from reading all my blogs! She takes me out on all sorts of adventures, and I am grateful. What I didn’t know is that those times when she leaves the house in fitness gear but doesn’t bring me with […]
Kuma enjoys canoeing right behind his League City home
I’ve lived in three states and in three different houses in my short ten years. Yes, can you believe I will be 10 this year? Anyway, what I have learned is that each state and house has it positives and drawbacks. In Colorado, we had a smaller house with a tiny yard yet right […]
