Holistic Lifestyle Coaching & Getting Sick

Hi kiddies!

How are you all?

I haven’t posted as much as I would like…where have I heard that before? ;P

Last weekend my schedule was FULL! All day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was the certification as Holistic Lifestyle Coach through the CHEK Institute. Wow, it was pretty intense! It was an hour and a half commute each way, and the in-house training was all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I literally had no time…just enough to get home and pass out ...

Hi lovelies! How are you all? Just wanted to share with you a little bit about what’s being going on with me, since I haven’t been posting much lately. Sawwy!   : /

First of all, the biggest transition has been to focus on my business. The pace of life now, ironically, is much more relaxed. I don’t have the crazy commuting anymore, and must be mindful and deliberate about the choices I make.

As always, I have been keeping my head in ...

Spinach Protein "Bread"

I decided to make some spinach protein “bread.” Decided I needed something crunchy and wanted to sneak in some vegetables 🙂

ACL Injuries and the Fitness Competitor

Interesting! I came across this article on bodysport.com and wanted to share it. I am highly interested in the intersection of functional training and figure/fitness training and will one day write a piece on this. For now, this is one of the only articles that I have seen that addresses something that concerns them both. As someone who has experienced an ACL tear and as a fitness professional passionate about functional training to stay healthy (see my post on ACL ...

Testimonial

Thank you, Omar!

“I highly recommend Kristina! She uses creative, effective exercises to make well-designed programs, and makes sure her clients are motivated and receive full attention. As a trainer and gym owner myself, in the industry for over ten years, I see a lot of terrible trainers out there. They are content with the status quo, and do cookie cutter workouts. Kristina is NOT that way. She is always on top of the latest information, and integrates that with classic ...

Beyond Crunches: 4 Core Exercises Off the Beaten Path

Hello ladies and gents!

I’m here today to share with you a few different and fun exercises for the core. Lovely readers: 1,000,000 million sit ups a day will NOT sculpt for you the sleek physique you strive for. Not only is excessive lumbar flexion not healthy (e.g. promotes kyphosis and/or possible lower back problem when in excess), but is also not very effective of an exercise in that tight abs come from low body fat which is NOT achieved by ...

Miracle Whey Peanut Butter Protein Powder Review

Yes, I am a total protein powder whore. I just got a new protein powder in the mail that I ordered. But it is SO YUMMY that I have to tell you about it. No, this is not an affiliate link and I am not being compensated at all for this. Did they hear my prayers asking for a yummy peanut butter flavored protein powder?

Okay, so this is what happened. I was lazily scrolling through other’s Facebook stats update and ...
