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!
“Did you know you were in a Buzzfeed post yesterday? :)”

“I want to be skinny by summer I am 13 and 107 lb. most my fat is on my hip. My love handles and my thighs I want to loose a pound a day how can I do that and stay motivated?”
-Anonymous

Okay. A few things:

  1. 107 pounds isn’t fat.
  2. You’re 13; your body is growing quite a bit. That’s normal.
  3. Your body fat is there because that’s where most people store body fat. And you need body fat to live.
  4. Doctors say you shouldn’t lose more than 2 pounds a week. A pound a day is ridiculously unhealthy and won’t happen unless you’re chopping off body parts every morning.

This blog is not about dropping pounds. It’s about loving yourself and striving to be healthy, regardless of weight.

“I was thinking, have you considered maybe creating an iPhone app for all of your workouts? I really enjoy them and having them on an iPhone would make things a lot easier.”
-anythingtomakeeyousmile

I haven’t. I might think about it in the future, but I am useless at those things and app creation costs money. So for now, it’s just a future possibility.

“Any way you could do a whole set of workouts that you could do without weights or machines? I know many people like to workout but don't have the weights or time to go to the gym.”
-Anonymous

That is the vast majority of my website. Just browse through my workouts!

“Whats your favorite smoothie recipe?”
-loveelemeno

  1. Toss some french vanilla yogurt in a blender.
  2. Add chopped up fruit (I like strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries).
  3. Blend.

Boom. I’m an easy smoothie maker.

“Thank you so much for your (pre) pointe exercises! I'm already up but I'm not as strong as I'd like to do so this will be so helpful :D Would you ever consider making one for foot and arch strengthening, too?”
-Anonymous

You’re welcome!

And I probably won’t, but I’m hoping to make a video in the future with all the basics for preparing for ballet/pointe: turnout exercises, ankle stretches, arch work, etc. But there aren’t enough foot-strengthening stuff to make a workout for it.
