As a journalist, I've been fortunate to cover everything from beauty products to travel destinations for many top magazines and newspapers. But as a Pilates instructor, outdoor enthusiast, burgeoning cook and yogi, my favorite assignments are those involving fitness, nutrition and health. From sweating through the latest fitness classes and testing fresh recipes to speaking with notable wellness experts, I'm always on the lookout for cutting-edge information which can help people lead more fit, happy and healthy lives.
