One of my sons is now playing soccer about 6x a week, four practices and 2-3 games every weekend.

All of my go-to gym bag goodies!

I don't get to do the victory dance a whole lot here, so you can imagine what MY typical reaction is! Who knew that the sport of using a round object to knock down several pins goes back thousands of years (I'm looking at you, Egypt!

Spent two years buying cheap gym stuff that broke, stank, or fell apart mid-workout — finally landed on the things that actually hold up without costing a paycheck.

Let's be honest, not all of us can afford a gym membership, or maybe some of us (like me!) don't like working out in front of people!

If you keep telling yourself you'll work out ‘later’ and later never comes, steal this setup before another month slips by.

I do multiple different types of exercises through out the week. Below you'll find equipment I use, platforms, workouts, and gear that I LOVE.

If you're tired of dreading the uphill because your bag feels like a carry-on suitcase, this is the list I wish someone handed me before my first 14er.

Standing at a bus stop at 6 AM with dead hand warmers is a special kind of misery. I burned through dozens of brands that fizzled out in two hours, leaked weird chemicals, or were too bulky to fit in a coat pocket.

You know that annoying moment when the trail flattens out and your trekking poles become awkward sticks dangling off your bag? I spent two seasons strapping full-length poles to the outside of my pack, snagging them on branches, and losing a tip cap somewhere on the Appalachian Trail. This is everything I switched to after getting fed up. If you hike mixed terrain where you only need poles half the time, save yourself the frustration I went through.
