about

So this is my cupcake - the vehicle on which all of my frosting filled posts can be delivered to the masses.  You'll find my take on fitness strategy and nutrition here, likely alongside anecdotes from my adrenaline fueled life.

I'm Amanda - your science loving, fitness craving, cookie eating monster machine.  Welcome to my sugar laden lair. 

Smile, it's time to fly.

I took the leap (get it? I jumped out of a plane...) and have given up my life of scientific research in New York City for now.  I have been studying for the NSCA's CSCS exam and will be doling out well referenced fitness tidbits.  I'm a speed and agility coach for the world renowned Parisi Speed Schools inside the equally incredible TEST Sports Facility.  Additionally, I'll be including my random recipe successes and ideas for the greatest cheat meals under the sun.  I have a penchant for sweets and BREAD that I will occasionally indulge, and when I do, you can bet it's unreal.  Also, I'll probably post a lot of random junk that I find entertaining since I'm a gigantic nerd and read far too much!

I rely on the greatest guy alive, Leor (shameless plug!! follow him on twitter @hebham86) for reassurance on my ideas, since he's a true professional and is actually MY coach.  He's my rock and has been my biggest supporter since deciding to trek down this path. 

Expect to see the site overhauled into a much more fitness based, gender non-specific deal through early 2012.

Train hard. Stay focused. Improve everyday.
