Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard

I just read Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath

I have been fascinated and researching more and more about…Willpower. Habits. How to achieve. Tips to change. For myself. And for my clients… How can we make behavior change easier? Etc etc etc…

Turns out that willpower is an exhaustible resource. 

Check this one of many examples: College students were asked to fast for 3 hours and report to a study about food taste perception.  They were then led ...

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing the sexy ripped goddess, otherwise known as IFBB Figure Pro Michelle Shepherd. Not only is she beautiful, disciplined, and genetically gifted, she is intellectual, thoughtful, kind, and empathetic. I was introduced to her through Diet Doc, and can honestly say that she is the best coach I’ve ...

Mountain Biking in Southern Chile

Stepping off the plane, you could smell the difference. The air just smelled fresher. It smelled like forests and crisp mornings. It smelled refreshing and exciting.

I was here! I had completed the 27 hour trip to arrive in Puerto Varas.

…where?

Puerto Varas. A tiny city located in southern Chile, a territory of northern Patagonia in the Los Lagos Region. It is located on the shore of the Llanquihue Lake, one of the largest natural lakes in South America. There are only ...

In Awe: Dana Linn Bailey

Just a peek into what is to come in my future!

No, I am not (YET) an IFBB pro, so my competition as an amateur will not be as difficult as THIS, but here is a peek into the world of physique if you don’t know what it is….I’ve done figure before, but physique involves a more muscular look of the body (though not as muscular as bodybuilding), a different set of poses…and NO HEELS! YAY 😉

Instagram n shiz

Hey lovelies!

I don’t post often enough on my blog…

To stay abreast (I said breast!) of my everyday stuffz, please become my friend on facebook (search Kristina Dobyns) AND be my friend on Instagram (@freestylefitnesss). I’d say I post most on Instagram, tho I generally operate far too much under the radar. I’m trying to put myself out there more, but it’s a slow process for me!

<3 and more <3

Birthday Celebration- Flying Trapeze and Killer Workout

I. am. OLDER! ;P
I just had my birthday and I wanted to get in some special activities to celebrate.

Saturday I wanted to do something different but I’ve already done sky diving, bungee jumping, all that stuff…so my brilliant client suggested flying trapeze! And so it was set. I actually, though, didn’t anticipate the true terror it would inspire during the act. I booked Trapeze Arts in Oakland to teach me and 3 other girl friends in an hour long ...

5 Blogs That You Need to Read

I was chatting with a client the other day, and discovered (gleefully) that he was into reading blogs! I had no idea. Anyway, his blogs of interest included those focused on technology, UI design, entrepreneurialism, and a quick hint of cuddly animals. I asked him if he read any health/fitness/nutrition blogs, and he said no. Partly because it can be hard for the non-trainer to know what information out there is quality, or BS! So, in his honor, I want ...
