Live Big with Ali Vincent

I think that we all know about the ups and downs of weight loss and fitness. The peaks and valleys, so to speak. We have our good days, we have our bad days. We have the days or weeks when we are in a rut and having a hard time finding our way out. It [...]

The Saturday Review: PLANK & Core

It’s been a little while since we’ve reviewed an exercise around here but there’s one that I consider one of my most important in everything that I do and that’s the plank. It is so simple it hurts. Literally. You just need your body and some space and you can do them almost anywhere and [...]

The new Tri in my life

  I like to think of myself as a relatively fit person.

Do I struggle every day? Yes. But for the most part, I’m healthy. But, [...]
