Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Vegetarian & Paleo Hi Hayley, I love your column and your balanced, focus way of talking about fitness. I'm writing with a question about diet. I'm very careful about what I eat, but find that there's so much conflicting information. Until recently, I lived with a vegetarian By Hayley • Oct 17, 2014 10:27 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Goals and expectations Hi Hayley, Over the past three years or so, I've gained about 20lbs. Blame it on finally NOT being pregnant and eating too much, drinking too much, and generally being too merry/lazy. Six weeks ago I decided to finally buckle down. Exercising for 20 minutes every day By Hayley • Oct 16, 2014 10:22 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: The Body Image Movement Body Image is something that I deal with every day, both in my own world as well as in the world of all of my clients and all of the emails I receive from readers asking me for help.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Sugar free Hi Hayley, I am the definition of someone who wants to all delicious things but still look like a bombshell - I hate exercise (I am trying) and try to eat healthy but still want to enjoy my favourite foods.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Fitness and the Stages of Change Hi Hayley, I know it shouldn't have taken death to make me open my eyes but that's how it happened and made everything in my life shift focus.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Squats or Lunges? Hi Hayley! I'll keep it short: squats or lunges? (or both?) Thanks P ___ BOTH! In my opinion you can never do enough lunges or squats. Adding in deadlifts and step-ups also won’t hurt. Our legs are composed of lots and lots of muscles (which I just spent By Hayley • Sep 19, 2014 08:43 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Summer Sins The sins of summer. You all know what I am talking about when I say this, right? Glasses of wine on patios, cocktails on docks, barbeques on boats, and bonfires on beaches all cause us to wonder why our fall wardrobe is just a little snug come autumn. Trust me, By Hayley • Sep 18, 2014 09:18 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Weddings & Sugar Hi Hayley. You've finally made me admit it - the sugar is the reason I have that little bit extra around the middle and thighs.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Shoes for the gym Hi Hayley! I need some advice on shoes for training in the gym. My typical workout is a cardio warm-up, weights (either weight machines or free weights) or resistance training, followed by an intense cardio session.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Networking nutrition Hi Hayley, Over the years, I've worked with a trainer and come up with a good workout routine that I enjoy and that I'm able to balance with my other commitments - but I find that my job sometimes interferes with my plans for healthy eating.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Diet pills vs small changes Hi! I have been trying to lose the same 10-15 pounds for about 5 years.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Love handles and extra padding Hi Hayley, I have been working out consistently for the last 4 years and while I have replaced a lot of fat with muscle I still have some extra padding I would love to get rid of.

Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Back strength for breasts Hi Hayley, Your recent core posts inspired me to ask you this question. I am a 36F which has its perks (ha!) but this also means I am very uncomfortable sitting on the floor/stools/benches/anything that won't provide back support. Within 5 minutes my back - By Hayley • Aug 14, 2014 10:27 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: The mental climb I am not and have never been an endurance athlete. My whole life I have been a competitive athlete in sports that are more sprint based. This season I took on a new challenge with Mountain Bike Enduro Racing. These bike races entail both long climbs and quick, sprint descents. By Hayley • Aug 08, 2014 11:18 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Building and rebuilding your core Hayley, about six months ago I herniated a disc in my lower back (L4-L5). It's honestly been hell.
