If you're looking for an epic full body functional workout with creative moves, I've got you covered! This workout made me so happy...and sweaty in the best way. I'm still doing Alexia Clark workouts Monday through Friday and putting together my own workout on Saturdays from inspiration I find on Instagram. Last week, I discovered Daniella Chinitz's Instagram (danichinitz_fit) through one of PaleoOMG's posts. Best discovery! It was love at first Instagram video.

Music is such an awesome way to naturally boost energy and enhance workout performance. I workout first thing in the morning, and sometimes I'm still half asleep when I'm starting my workout.

But on the mornings when I'm dragging despite coffee I put on a good workout playlist and it instantly boosts my mood.

For a while, I was in a workout music rut because I wasn't in love with the playlists I was ge…

8 Tips to embracing taking a deep breath

I'm a first born and my parents named me Amelia. In Latin, Amelia means "industrious". Basically, this means that a synonym for my name could be Type-A. I'm only now realizing how appropriate that is given the first letter of my name.

If you're experiencing any pain or muscle imbalances, I highly recommend consulting with your doctor and a physical therapist first.

Happy Friday! I hope you all have had an amazing week. I'm once again typing this from 32,000 feet up in the air. We are on our way home from an amazing week in the Maldives. I think this will officially be the longest Friday of my life. Due to the time change and flights we will be living in "Friday" for something like 32 hours. No complaints, but it's a weird state of having no idea what time it really is or when we should be sleeping/eating. The good news is it gives me some time to…

Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I share a few of the things that are making me smile. As always, I'd love to hear what you're currently loving in the comments. <3

Alexia Clark workouts

*Love* Alexia Clark's workout program. I have been following her workouts for over a year, and I still look forward to her workouts every morning. No workout is ever repeated, so I never get bored.

If you aren't familiar with her, for a super reasonable monthly…
