How to Make Your Chronobiology Work for You

Dec 17, 2024

Here we are in the thick of holiday season and I’m sure many of you are feeling the stresses and strains of this time of year. Having just done my ninth international/long haul flight of the year, I know I’m feeling it! This also got me thinking about harnessing the power of your chronobiology [or circadian rhythms], which is a topic I’m seeing gaining more and more mainstream media attention.

But it’s also iconic—and for many, the pinnacle of endurance sport with its 2.4-m...
Train for Power—Not Just Strength
  Most active women love to move. Whether it’s running, riding, swimming, lifting, yoga, or simply chasing your kids around, we love to break a sweat and feel the physical and mental benefits that come from that. But there’s one form of training that too often gets overlooked: power training. Whether it’s due to outdated myths (“I don’t want to bulk up”), lack of time, or just not knowing whe...
