The reason why your gym membership is even more essential than exercise. How many times have you joined a gym, gone for a few weeks even a few months, then stopped completely? How many times have you started a program on your own, stuck with it for a few weeks and let life get […]

Winterizing Your Outdoor Workout
I am willing to conjecture that you likely just read the title of this blog post and exclaimed, “It’s only just Fall!”. Well, yes – Fall only just began, BUT the change in season is always exciting. The coming of a new season of weather means adjustments in how we live our day to day […]
Keepin’ It Real
What does the phrase “keepin’ it real” mean to you? Do images of surfers riding through the sunset come to mind? (Or maybe that’s a different phrase…) Why would we want to “keep it real” in the first place? Is it better than not “keepin’ it real”? What are the health benefits of “keepin’ it […]
Green Workouts: UA On the Field
I recently read a research article, written by Gladwell and colleagues, from the Journal of Extreme Physiology and Medicine, titled “The green outdoors: how a green exercise environment can benefit all.” I found this article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3710158/) after searching for the relationship between green space and exercise.

In Your (Core)Corner
It’s 6:40 AM on a Monday, and you’re exhausted (the good kind). You just finished an Urban Athlete workout, and you start to grab your things to leave and head to work, when… Your workout buddy (the one who’s had more coffee than you) asks, “You doing the CoreCorner today?” You were never one for […]
Coffee Talk
I started drinking coffee during my senior year of college. You might be thinking – “Well, that makes sense. She’s staying up late applying to grad schools, on top of studying for her classes. No wonder she started to drink coffee – most people do.” I started to drink coffee, because my social circles at […]
