As Shape's senior fitness editor, I get to try fun new classes, meet talented trainers, and check out workout clothing and gear before it hits the stores. And in this blog, I'm going to share all of that with you! From my favorite new ways to stay fit to the pants that make my butt look perky you're going to hear it all. And along the way, I hope to hear from you too.

I can’t decide if I like all the pressure that comes with January 1 and the whole resolution frenzy or not. Part of me looks forward to the clean-slate feeling of starting over with renewed energy and optimism. The other part of me doesn’t want to put so much importance on goals set at a certain time of year (you can make resolutions all year long!).
