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.)

In the same vein (but healthier!) as diet plans that mix up your caloric goals, here’s a 7-day plan that gets harder as it goes along. Start on Day One, follow the plan for a week, then repeat. Yes, it’ll seem ridiculously easy going from Day Seven back to Day One, but this will keep your body challenged and will give you a bit of a break every time you restart. Feel free to make this an eight-day plan and add in a rest day on Day Eight.

Here it is! The ballet-inspired workout I’ve thought about for a long time and finally made after it was requested by crazyinspiration! Please read all the safety stuff before attempting, as you can hurt yourself if you’re not careful. Also remember that to learn more about any step here, just type the name of it into Google or YouTube and you’ll find some great info.

A ton of people have asked for a workout for the thighs. So here’s a quick one! If once through doesn’t have your legs burning, repeat the whole thing.

As requested by imemymine2012, here’s a workout to help you get the toned legs of a dancer. Pair this with a lot of stretching and you should notice a difference, especially in your calves, pretty quickly. For extra intensity, add dumbbells to the squats and lunges.
Also, if you have a hard time balancing in the one-legged calf raises, stand near a wall or counter so you have something to rest your hand on for balance. That’s why we have barres in ballet classes!

I want to make more workouts/challenges.

Any ideas? What are you looking for?

Another quick challenge!
