Sharing a full review of the Aviron rower and why I love having this as a part of my home gym!

Hi friends! How are you? I hope the day is treating you well! I’d love to hear what you’ve been into for workouts lately. Two things I’ve really been into: Pilates and rowing.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a review of the Aviron rower since I’ve had the chance to use it and enjoy it as part of my home office gym for a few weeks. Aviron generously gifted me this rower and I LOVE it so much! It had been on my radar for quite a while. If you decide to purchase one, you can use my tracking link here!

Aviron Rower Review (and why I’m obsessed with it)

I received the Aviron a couple of weeks ago, and while I thought the set-up would take a while, the Pilot and I put it together within 30 minutes.

You can check out a time lapse of our assembly process here!

I’ve been wanting a rower for our home gym foreverrrrrrr, and this rower is everything I could wish for: it’s sleek, well-constructed, and has a screen that you can use to stream apps (like Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon) as well as compete with others and play games. It’s perfect for the days where I want to blast some rowing intervals, get in an awesome cardio workout, or simply take a movement or brain break in the middle of the work day.

Here are some of the pros and cons!

I’m sharing 5 clean eating recipes for weeknights that are on repeat in our house and the whole family loves!

While we love our special treats and gourmet eats in the Harney household, on the day to day, we try to focus eating whole foods, fresh produce, and quality protein. But if I don’t do a little planning (i.e. easy meal planning for busy moms), putting healthy recipes on the table night after night can be a challenge with our busy schedules.

It can be temping to order takeout inside of preparing a homemade meal when we’ve been working, at school, and dance practice (for multiple hours!), but I know all of us feel better when we have a nourishing homemade meal at the end of the day.

Today I’m  sharing a handful of easy to prepare yet delicious clean eating recipes that you can quickly prepare for busy weeknights – enjoy!

5 Clean Eating Recipes For Weeknights

1. Easy Enchiladas with Rotisserie Chicken

These easy enchiladas with rotisserie chicken are great for meal prep and always a family favorite!

2. Sushi Roll in a Bowl

This is one of our go-to dinners: baked salmon, rice (season with rice vinegar and sesame seeds), chopped cucumber, avocado, and seaweed snacks. Top with soy sauce and/or sriracha and feast! Tip: make the rice in the Instant Pot for ease.

3. Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Tuna Casserole

This healthy tuna casserole is gluten-free, dairy-free, and high in protein! It’s a perfect family and kid-friendly dinner for a busy weeknight. This casserole is made from pantry staples and is a great make-ahead dinner option.

Hi hi! How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’re on a little trip – check out IG stories for all of the details! – and I’m popping in to share one of my favorite beauty DIYs: Turmeric Face Scrub.

Turmeric is a vibrant yellow spice that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. It’s in the ginger family, and has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalism for its functional properties.* One of the key compounds in turmeric is curcumin, which is known as a powerful free radical scavenger.* It also supports a balanced immune system, a balanced response to environmental stressors, and possesses neuroprotective attributes.*

Beyond its traditional culinary uses, turmeric can be incorporated into your daily routine in various ways. You can find turmeric supplements in the form of capsules or powders, which can be added to smoothies, juices, soups, or even sprinkled over roasted vegetables or eggs. Golden milk is made by combining turmeric with warm milk and spices like ginger and cinnamon, and it is a soothing and nourishing option. It’s one of my favorite ways to wind down for the day!

Turmeric can also be used topically as a facial scrub, which is what I’m sharing today! Because of its protective benefits against environmental stressors, turmeric may help with skin benefits as well.*

**It’s important to note that it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement or product to your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.***

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We’re heading off on a trip – check out IG stories for all the details over the next couple of weeks – but it will still be blog business as usual over here. I have a new beauty DIY post coming on Monday!

Community Detox Coming July 10th

If you feel like you’re ready for a little reset, join us for a community detox starting on July 10th. This is my 4th time completing the detox and it’s something I do quarterly in my routine to help remove toxicities, restore deficiencies, improve my sleep, energy, and digestion. I always feel like a million bucks when it’s over!

SO many of you joined me last time, so I wanted to invite you to join in if you’d like to go for another round. The fun starts July 10, so you can order your kit now and you’ll be ready to go. (Use FITNESSISTA10)

Here’s more about this 7-day detox:

– It’s a liver-based detox to help reset your body, provide a break from digesting heavy foods, and potentially help your body eliminate toxins that we accumulate from our environment. It includes functional medicine ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs to support phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification.

– It’s nutrition-focused. It includes the POWERHOUSE Daily Nutritional Support powder (which I’ve had in my smoothies for many months and notice a difference in how I feel when I drink this smoothie), and meal guidelines for the remaining meals. The goal is to NOT have your body depleted of nutrients during the process.

– It can potentially help with weight loss along with anti-aging, and total body wellness.

– It’s only 7 days! When I first started working with a naturopath (back in the old days! It was like 2010), he had me do a month-long deto

Sharing some workouts you can do with kids and my tips for working out with kiddos at home.

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a lovely morning so far! WELCOME TO FIT TEAM to all of the friends who signed up this past week! We are so so pumped to have you and I can’t wait to hear your feedback on the workouts. If you missed the details, check it out here – enrollment closes this Sunday. What are you even waiting for??

For today’s post, I’m sharing some workouts that you can do with kids. Until COVID hit, I very rarely worked out with the kids around. I was typically teaching classes and doing my own thing at the gym while they were at school. (Over the weekend, I’d take an off day and then hit up some type of class.) When the world shut down and we were home for months, they definitely started to see me work out. I realized that by having them around, I was setting an example for them in multiple ways. They were able to see that I prioritized moving my body each day, they were able to see that my workouts affected my mood and well-being (I feel great and energized after a workout), and sometimes, they’d even join in the fun.

15 workouts you can do with kids

It’s important for me to lead by example that moving your body is a good thing. It’s fun, and it helps to keep you healthy and active for the long haul. There are so many benefits to working out with kids: it can help moms squeeze in exercise time while keeping the kids busy, it can tire them out for naptime or bedtime, it’s a fun and different way to bond with the kids, and it’s a great way to teach the importance of health and fitness at a young age.

In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my favorite workouts to do with kids both outdoors and at home! If you have any resources your kids love, please spread the word in the comments section.

Indoor scavenger hunt

This is one that Liv’s PE teacher sent while the kids were home from school. He really did an awesome job of choosing YouTube workouts for the kids that kept them engaged and enjoying themselves. We’ve come back to this one and similar ones a few times.

Cosmic Yoga

Cosmic Yoga is just a treasure. If you haven’t tried this yet with your kids, the workouts are so creative and fun. It’s a nice way to introduce yoga at a young age, and each video has a the
