The views I express on this blog are mine alone. They should not be taken as medical advice. The workouts I post may not be right for you. Please speak with a medical professional before making any changes to your current routine.

Because I love staying involved with running, triathlon and the latest trends in the health and fitness industry, I often review products and events, not only for my own benefit, but to share my opinions with others. Whenever I review or refer to a product that was provided to me, I will make it clear in the post. I will provide not only details of how I received the product, but I will link to the company itself. My reviews are my true opinions, and compensation does not have any bearing on the content of the review. If I do not like a product, I will either not review it, or I will state the reasons why I don’t like it. When I do accept compensation for a review, I will make it clear in the post and will include a link to this disclosure policy.

In regard to social media:

  • #AD: denotes that a brand has compensated me in some way for the post or message — in most cases, the message will be in my own words but may also include copy points from the client. This compensation may have been in cash or in product.
  • #freebie: denotes that a product was sent to me — solicited or not — free of charge (if I was paid to review or post about the product, I will use the #AD tag but if a brand sent me something with no promise or expectation of a post, I’ll use this tag)
