When I look back on my life, I can’t remember exactly when, or how it happened… But somewhere along the line, I realized I can’t go a day without it. And when I do go a day without it, I just don’t feel “normal”. I experience withdrawal symptoms such as moodiness, irritability, sleeplessness and change in appetite. Sound familiar? That’s right… I’m ADDICTED!! Hi, My name is Kat, and I am a Fitness Addict! And guess what, I’m not quitting. EVER. Read more
For any and all of us who have gone to extremes or spent countless hours in search of a magical solution to turn back the hands of time, guess what? I’m going to let you in on a little secret… Shhhh… There is a solution, and it’s not a hidden ancient mystery or a magical potion you can consume and instantly transform into a younger version of yourself. It is however a technique that people have been using for countless generations. It’s a little thing called “strength training.” Read more
The next time you’re at your gym, take a look around at all the warning signs cautioning you to be careful to use the equipment properly and as directed. I don’t know about you, but sometimes that gets boring for me. Gym workouts are so much more fun when you break the rules and get creative with the equipment! Sometimes, rules are made to be broken…
Okay, okay… be careful too 😉

There must be something in the air because lately, everywhere I go I’m hearing women discussing the topic of shaping up their derrieres! Some have approached me to inquire about what they should be doing, why they just can’t get that thing lifted, what are my favorite glute exercises, etc. Frankly, I can’t think of a better topic to discuss! The idea of a firm, lifted, tight butt seems to be the object of every woman’s desires and I’m no exception! To answer these questions, I think we need to take a trip back in time to high school anatomy class and get back to basics. Read more

Summer is finally here and with the weather changing to hotter and more humid temperatures, I thought what better time to look into some different makeup options. I had been debating on changing my foundation for some time since I was going back and forth between products and my morning routine had just gotten way too dang complicated. I just could not seem to find one that worked on super humid days. A girl has needs, ya know!? Like the need for full coverage, a matte finish, and most importantly it has to last through my workouts. On most days, I’m working out at lunch and going back to my professional job the second half of the day, so I simply cannot have my makeup melting off my face. Especially considering I’m not talking minor workouts here. There are days when I’m running several miles at lunch. Intense workouts mixed with the change in weather had me up in arms. It was time for a change. So, I set out to find THE BEST foundation for humid months and girls that sweat! Continue to read what I discovered… Read more
I’ve had multiple requests for demonstrations of the workouts that I post. Well, ask and ye shall receive! Now with YouTube.com/healthyfitfabguide, I will be able to easily share these with you! I’m pretty pumped about this, guys! Yayy!!
So, here’s the dilemma… Sunday I leave for Siesta Key for a family wedding and get this – my resort doesn’t have a gym! (*Ahhh panicking!*) Determined, I set out to invent a workout that I could do right in my room, on the balcony, or on the beach. The workout you’re about to read is intense. It can be done with or without dumbbells, and you can also use a resistance band. And if you’re wondering if I’m actually going to go through the hassle of packing dumbbells or a resistance band in my suitcase, the answer is yes. Yes, I most certainly am. Anyway, here is what I came up with:
