I first started really working out when I went to Butler University for college and met one of my best friends Vanessa. She is a runner and truly inspired me to start running and going to the gym. Today, I love to mix up my workouts- anything from running, cycling, yoga, total body strength routines, and dancing around my kitchen.
But, I should confess, I’m not a fitness fanatic.
I am Fitfluential!
In this part of the blog I hope to post new and creative workouts I find, and keep track of my own workouts through my log.
When you find a great workout, let me know and I will post it here!! Or if you are searching for a new routine- tell me and we can find one together!

Hi Andrea,
Wow, I really like your blog and how you manage to balance such a busy life.. it’s amazing you’re in medical school!
I’m pretty petite, but looking to shape up (mainly gain muscle). I am not really super active (just some yoga), but do eat healthy. I was wondering if you try to reach a certain amount of calories each day? It seems like you eat a too little amount for doing so much exercise. I eat 1500 calories a day, but I think if I were to exercise and burn 300-600 calories, I’d eat more… I’m not a doctor or anything :), but can you comment on what a good intake should be? Is the “1200 calorie rule” and being below that is starvation mode false? How do you approach this?
Thanks!

Hi Camille!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m all over the place when it comes to calories. Some days I eat a ton and some days I won’t feel super hungry and so my meals will be smaller. Usually I’m around 1300-1400 calories per day but I don’t always keep count. If I’m feeling like I need a little motivation, I will keep count on my phone and try to hit 1200-1300 (this only happens after I’ve had a week of 1600+ days… like the holidays 😉 ). If I’m working out and in the groove, I don’t really keep count. I usually have about 5 meals a day. My downfall is afternoon snacking when I get home from the clinic and snack for 2 hours before I go to the gym! lol!! I generally don’t blog about all those handfuls of crackers, almonds, and fruit!! Hope to hear from you again soon!
