backonpointeI am not on Pinterest!
Please read my FAQ before sending me a question.



I'm a college student and a dancer, and I'm working to lose weight, gain muscle, become more fit... and help others do the same!

My Ask Box is always open to questions, suggestions, or if you just need to talk. If you'd like something to be answered privately, just let me know in the message. (Note: anonymous questions cannot be answered privately.)

I track the "backonpointe" tag!
“Small town Wisconsin is the best. You go girl!”
-brittanybelieve

I preferred Milwaukee to the small towns (small towns led to me being bullied throughout high school) but Wisconsin is such an amazing state. Everywhere you go there’s a sense of community. Plus, fresh cheese curds from the Gibbsville Cheese Factory? To die for.

“dumb question but i can never get the answer i want. if i add weights to workouts will that make it strength/weight training? ex. holding textbooks while doing lunges or squats. thank you in advance. <3”
-Anonymous

Even without the textbooks, those things would be strength training. You’re working the muscles in your legs through repeated movements that cause slight tears in the muscles. The textbooks (or dumbbells or kettlebells or barbells) simply make it harder, forcing your muscles to work more.

I have found someone else I want to interview for this blog: Hanne Blank.

“I was wondering if there are workouts you recommend that will help me perk up my boobs”
-Anonymous

People had really great suggestions here. (Also, and this goes for everyone, Google is awesome. I knew I had answered something like this before, so I literally Googled “backonpointe boobs” and the first result was the right Ask. Boom.)

“Where are you from?”
-zillazu

That’s actually sort of a difficult question. I was raised in a number of small towns, most in Wisconsin, but one in southern Canada and one small city in southern California, but I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin after I graduated high school. I’m currently living just outside Orlando, Florida, but I’ll be moving to Austin, Texas this coming Tuesday.

Complicated enough? :P

“To the person who just asked about craving more fruits and vegetables I'd like them to know that I used to NEVER eat fruits - I just didn't like them. After I started to "make" myself eat a fruit instead of something else, now I want to eat fruit and don't want to eat junk food anymore. So in a way, yes you will start to crave them.”

To my last Anon, here’s some personal experience!

“Is it true that the more you eat fruits and veggies, the more you will naturally crave them as opposed to other not-so-good foods?”
-Anonymous

I’m honestly not sure about the “craving them” part, but if you eat them enough that you begin to like them, then at least you won’t be actively avoiding them.

Hey, you should try chocolate almond milk. It tastes just as great and doesn’t have the phytoestrogens that soy milk has.

I love chocolate almond milk, actually! But as I don’t drink soy milk frequently, I’m not worried about the phytoestrogens. Though now you’ve got me hungry for almond milk. But with my move so soon, I’m trying to only buy small containers of perishables so I don’t have to leave all my food behind.

Some awesome tips for runners!

I don’t run but I know plenty of followers do. The heelstrike style of running may look cool, but its no good.
