During the Sochi Winter Olympics, I was entranced by the ice dancing competition. The grace, the flow, the beauty. It’s breathtaking, really. And then I began to wonder: how is it that full-grown adults can balance their entire body along a single 3/16” metal blade, all while floating on a sheet of ice and holding someone above their head? And then the answer hit me: Because they’ve found their edge. When you find your edge, you: Get all itchy (in a good way) and push beyond your …

March Monthly Call: Lacy Young
Our next FREE Monthly Vibe Tribe Call is all about emotional eating + how to overcome it. This is a hot button topic for me, because I've struggled with it my entire life. I’ve been overweight since I was a kid (sometimes referred to by those little medical charts as "obese") and so this topic is very tender and raw for me, which is partly why I’ve asked Lacy to come join us today.

Do I go ahead …

Little Tweaks
Today, I worked out with my all-time favorite ever Personal Trainer, Kim Smith, at CORE Fitness in Middleton. Kim custom-creates routines for me each week based on my “hot spots” (and by that, I mean my weak spots!). One of the recent additions Kim put into my routine is something called a “Russian Dead Lift” -- with a Kettle Bell (apparently known in the fitness industry as an RDL. I’m just learning all of this). It’s not horrible. But it’s not the easiest thing I’ve ever done, either. The …
