If you’ve been following along for the past few weeks, you know that today is the last of our Workouts You Can Do Anywhere series. We’ve covered abs, arms, and booty, and we are finishing up with a bang: the ultimate full body workout.

The third workout in our series focuses on biceps, triceps, and shoulders. This 10-minute circuit is genius because you can do it anywhere, you don’t need any equipment, and you are guaranteed to feel the burn. (My triceps were on fire after filming this video.)
Read MoreWorkouts You Can Do Anywhere: Booty
For the second video in our Workouts You Can Do Anywhere series with my friend and trainer Michelle Kuhnreich, we are focusing on my favorite body part: the booty! Since I’m a runner, I need strength and power in my lower body, and since I’m a busy mom, I need to work out those areas quickly and efficiently. At just 10 minutes long, this workout is the perfect way to

Read MoreThe Full-Body Stretch We All Need Right Now
Moving my body is something that’s really important to me, and I love to switch it up: running, yoga, classes, hikes. So exercising during quarantine has definitely been challenging. With nowhere to go, I’ve relied heavily on full-body stretch workouts from my friend and trainer Michelle Kuhnreich to fit in whenever and wherever (like the bathroom floor while I supervise the kids). It really doesn’t matter where I workout. Sometimes I just

I’ve professed my love for working out in the outdoors here before, and that remains true even in the winter. When I go for a run or hike outside, even when it’s freezing cold, it feels less like a chore and more like an adventure. But I’ve learned the hard way that if you’re going to get your sweat on outside when the temps drop below 50, you need to have

The whole thing was decided on a whim, something that our friend Misha schemed up in passing, and the next thing I knew he (and several other gullible suckers) were signed up for 26.2 miles of torture. Being the decidedly more practical of our pair,
Read MoreMy Secrets To Self-Care
“Self care” is a buzzword that people toss around a lot these days—and for good reason. While it’s never easy to find “me” time, everything feels different when I do. I am happier, I’m more focused, I’m a better mom, a better friend and I’m a better wife. To me, “self-care” equals self-worth. Investing in ourselves builds self-esteem and confidence—and it doesn’t have to be as time-consuming as we think.

If you’ve read Now & Gen for a while, you know that one of my favorite ways to blow off steam is breaking a sweat. But a workout doesn’t necessarily even have to mean hitting the gym: Carving out some time for physical activity can mean a brisk walk outside with my husband, a yoga class to clear my mind or even chasing around after the kids on our bikes.
