Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Treadmill intervals The winter has hit us hard here on Canada’s west coast, which means running outside is out of the question. It’s not that we west coasters can’t handle the cold, but our city can’t seem to clear the snow (all 15cm of it) off the sidewalks By Hayley • Dec 12, 2016 03:35 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Pilates moves If you didn’t know this about me already, I am IN LOVE with my Pilates practice. Although I will never look like a graceful dancer, the movements of Pilates have been so great for all of my sports and it keeps my body pretty pain free. I understand that By Hayley • Dec 09, 2016 11:19 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Holiday Dos and Don’ts It’s that time again. The holiday season. The time when we eat and drink WAY too much. The time where tumbleweeds blow through gyms. And every year, one month following today, we are either in a panic trying to undo all that we did over the last 30 days By Hayley • Dec 01, 2016 02:21 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Exercise before surgery I was in the best shape of my life recently, and doing a mix of workouts: hiking, at the gym with a trainer, running, yoga, etc. Unfortunately I tore my ACL about a month ago, and the MRI says I also fractured a couple of bones I have an appointment By Hayley • Nov 09, 2016 02:46 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: CrossFit etc Hi Hayley! I've been doing CrossFit for about three years and I love it, 3-4 times a week. The reason why I enjoy CrossFit is because the workouts are different every time. I used to run and every time I would run I would experience foot pain or By Hayley • Nov 04, 2016 03:38 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Post pregnancy bounce-back fitness Hi Hayley, I am 32 weeks pregnant and now that I can see the end in sight, I am starting to think about what my post-pregnancy workout routine could and should look like. Prior to becoming pregnant, and up until about 8 weeks ago, I was still doing Revolt fitness By Hayley • Oct 28, 2016 01:24 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Restarting the running Hi Hayley, July last year I started running again. When I say ‘again’, I had previously used running intermittently as nothing more than a weight loss tool and didn’t veer off of the treadmill. I started running (outdoors) as a way to burn off some of the excess weight By Hayley • Oct 21, 2016 01:18 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Butt alignment Hi Hayley! It recently came to my attention, after seeing a podiatrist regarding pain in my feet, that my pelvis isn't evenly aligned (i.e. my left side is lower) and that my pelvis is tilted back, causing my butt to stick out more than it should.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Be a stronger hiker Hi Hayley, I just recently moved to Vermont - land of hills, mountains and great hiking everywhere. I've been looking forward to getting more in shape, but without fail, every hike starts okay - usually with an incline with varying degrees of steepness and then 5-8 minutes in, By Hayley • Oct 14, 2016 03:34 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Explosive training The beauty of explosive training is that you don’t need a gym to do it and I feel like most training scenes from boxing movies usually take place outside, in the cold. Am I right? All you need to do is find a park that has some stairs you By Hayley • Oct 07, 2016 03:29 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Fitness Trackers Hi Haley! Over the last year, a period of super high stress followed by a knee injury made me lose my good fitness and eating habits - and gain more weight than I'd like to admit to. Since fall still feels like the "new year" to By Hayley • Sep 29, 2016 03:00 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Pick it up a notch Hi Hayley: I will be 65 in a couple of months. I have been running for 8 years-lost 25 lbs and kept it off until about 1 1/2 years ago. I put on 5 pounds and I cannot get it off. I lived in tank tops-now I look awful By Hayley • Sep 26, 2016 04:29 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Finding motivation after falling off the wagon Hi Hayley, last summer I started running with the Nike Running App thanks to your tips! It was amazing and I managed to run 5k (which is really a lot for me, as I could barely run a minute in the beginning). But I fell off "the wagon" By Hayley • Sep 16, 2016 03:33 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Fitness during a stress fracture Hi Hayley, I've really done it this time! I have been training through the summer for my next full marathon in Hamilton on November 5th. I was stopped in my tracks while running home from work last week by a shooting pain in the right foot. I believe By Hayley • Sep 14, 2016 05:30 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Delayed by a shoulder Hayley, I broke my shoulder yesterday! It's the upper humerus so it is in a sling for four to six weeks. I am at least 50 lbs overweight but used to be very fit about five years ago. I was getting back into fitness with yoga and I By Hayley • Sep 08, 2016 12:37 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: The wagon The wagon. If you haven’t fallen off it yet then you have somehow managed to have held on tighter than a lot of people I know. Summer has a way of doing that to you and presents you with ample opportunities to jump off the wagon, landing in backyard By Hayley • Sep 01, 2016 03:03 pm
