Happy Halloween! I’m on my way to Portland for an exciting partnership with Under Armour and Samsung that’s been named #firstsneverstop. It’s themed around “a journey of firsts” so I’m (nervously?) looking forward to discovering what’s in store for us! They sent us a really cozy outfit to travel in – shoes, socks, compression tights [...]

Back to Strength Focus + Weekly Workouts
September 6, 2015 { 25 comments }Happiest of Sundays to everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely Labor Day Weekend! Sullie and I hopped in the car and headed down to Georgia to hang out with my grandmother for a few days. Judging from this SnapChat I posted this morning (follow me @JenDeCurtins), I think it’s safe to say all parties are [...]

My clients know they most likely won’t get through a workout with me without doing some type of squats and push ups. They are two of my favorite movements ever due to all of their awesome benefits.

Five Miles Never Felt So Good
December 21, 2013 { 9 comments }Happy weekend! Mine is a balance between hanging out and relaxing and running around trying to get the last of Christmas taken care of. This month flew by! It is a beautiful day here in North Carolina – 72 and a little overcast with peeks of sunshine coming through the clouds. It was too nice [...]

You Never Know
July 9, 2013 { 37 comments }I have been in a really contemplative place lately. I don’t know how better to describe it but I’m in major evaluation mode. I’m okay. I’m just thinking about a lot of things and working on a lot of things. This is a good thing. I taught a yoga class this morning and during my [...]

Standing in the Same Spot Two Years Later
April 28, 2013 { 24 comments }It’s been a rainy, cool weekend and that has felt pretty perfect for me. I have spent a lot of time in the yoga studio, coaching CrossFit and hibernating at home. On Friday afternoon I got an SOS request to help out with the yoga teacher trainees at the studio. I led them through their [...]

My First Murph Experience
May 26, 2012 { 33 comments }Today I completed a well-known CrossFit hero WOD for the first time. “Murph” is one of the workouts that has quite a big reputation and you hear it referenced all the time…mostly in regards to how brutal it is. It’s typical for CrossFit boxes to do Murph on Memorial Day weekend. The workout is in [...]

Such A Girl
April 19, 2012 { 38 comments }What a day. I feel like I’ve been going full-speed ahead but haven’t even made a dent in my to do list. I had a productive morning…taught a yoga private, meetings, emails and trained clients but then my afternoon was a disaster. Let me explain… We were supposed to max out on shoulder press, back [...]

Squats, Lunges and Cupcakes
March 15, 2012 { 33 comments }Remember the workout I posted yesterday? It ended up taking me about 30 minutes total to complete with the running and CrossFit WOD and clearly it was effective because my glutes (we’ll be PC here) are sore today. When girls ask me “how do I get rid of this” while pointing to their upper thighs, [...]
