If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is that there is something for everyone when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals. And, on that same note, some of those fitness trends just aren’t for me. So, thanks to the creative ladies of the DC Trifecta (Mar + Cynthia + Courtney) and their Friday Five Link-Up, I’m sharing five fitness trends you won’t catch me doing or talking about on this blog. 1. {Read More}

Review: #taketheleap with prAna
March 2, 2015 by 9 Comments
Disclaimer: Thanks to my partnership with Fit Approach, I am taking part in the #taketheleap with prAna. I received my choice of a top and bottom from prAna for review. All opinions expressed are my own. During the #taketheleap challenge, I was afforded the opportunity to test out some of the beautifully sustainable clothing created by prAna. One of the things that sets prAna aside from their competitors, is there focus on environmental conscious materials. As noted on their website, {Read More}
Do Something that Scares You… #TakeTheLeap
February 2, 2015 by 31 Comments
The New Year often brings introspection for me. I know that we are now in February but I never shared some of my goals for the year. No, I am not talking running goals or blogging goals, like in years past. This year, I decided to take a good hard look at my priorities. Let’s face it, if you are like me, you feel as though there are not enough hours in the day and there is not enough of you {Read More}
Friday Five: Indoor Fitness Routines
January 30, 2015 by 21 Comments
This week, I’m linking up with Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney for this week’s Friday Five to share my indoor fitness routines. Running: I hate the treadmill but I love running. Thanks to the ice and terrible winter weather we are having here in NY, I am using the treadmill more than I have in the past. While it isn’t my favorite option, I am thankful that I have easy access to a treadmill. A run on a treadmill is better than {Read More}
Friday Five: Favorite Winter Activities
December 12, 2014 by 18 Comments
I haven’t participated in the Friday Five link up in a while… too long in fact! So, this week is all about my favorite winter activities! With winter temps here to stay for a while, there are very few things that will draw me out of the house and into the cold. Running is one of those things. I love going for a run outside after a fresh layer of snow is on the ground. It’s typically a beautiful sight and {Read More}
2014 Fitness Blogger Meet and Tweet NYC
October 25, 2014 by 4 Comments
Last Thursday, I attended the 2014 Fitness Blogger Meet and Tweet NYC (aka #fitblognyc) hosted by Fitness Magazine! Let me just say that it was such an honor to be invited to this event and it definitely lived up to all the social media hype! I surprisingly made it to the Mercedes Club without much fuss! The venue itself was really spectacular and certainly as luxurious as fitness centers come. Thank you for hosting us Mercedes Club! After checking in and {Read More}

Disclosure: Many thanks to Sketchers for sponsoring today’s discussion and allowing me to try their fantastic Skechers breast cancer awareness shoes! As always, all opinions are my own and in support of the fight against breast cancer. This October, I am lucky enough to put one foot in front of the other as I test out the Skechers GoRun 3 shoes and get moving in support of breast cancer awareness month. As some of you may know, marathon training has come to a halt for {Read More}
The Day I broke the Internet and other Life Updates…
October 10, 2014 by 5 Comments
So, today, I broke the internet. At least, I broke my small piece of the internet. Behind the scenes here at Lisa Runs for Cupcakes, I could not access my site. Thanks to Mar, she let me know that the world was still able to see things. So, after a few hours of help from my host, RFE hosting, life was back to normal and I can access my blog! Normally, this would probably not even bother me but since {Read More}

Disclaimer: I received a copy of the Ultimate Booty Workouts free of charge in exchange for hosting a book review and giveaway on Lisa Runs for Cupcakes. No additional compensation was received for this post. All opinions are my own. I have to admit, that while I did (and still do) plenty of complaining about my post baby abdominal situation, my backside is one of my body parts that I love! When I was working with a physical therapist for {Read More}
