Nice to meet you!

Hello! Welcome to our blog. My name is Ray and I am one of the Tipsy T-Rexes. I am 24 years old and fitness has played a huge role in my life. I’ve participated in many health and fitness related programs, as well as work in a healthcare career. I played sports my whole life, including for the varsity basketball team at my college. After I finished school, I was no longer participating in high level athletics and I slowly let my fitness go. I gained about 15 pounds in my first year of no sports, and after that I started to struggle with my mental health. I have been working on myself and working for the last year to get myself back. I am now back into a better routine and I am starting to see results. My goals for my fitness journey are to maintain my strength and continue to make progress improving my techniques, fitness planning and nutrition. So follow along with me on my journey.

Hello! I’m Kate, welcome to our blog! It has just been over the last few years that I have really gotten into caring extensively for my health and fitness. Once I reached 30+ territory, I noticed that I would definitely need to make some changes to counteract my slowing metabolism! Growing up, I danced competitively and played on various high school sports teams (field hockey, rugby, etc) but stopped doing so when I started university. I was in post-secondary for quite a few years (undergrad, grad school, and teachers college) and it wasn’t until I started my teaching career that I got back into sports through coaching some of my school teams. I started getting into running first in order to help my very active fur-baby (a border collie named Rogue) burn off some steam! We completed a “Couch to 5k” program and have ran a few 5Ks together. Wanting to up my resistance training, I joined a few gyms and programs over the years to see what I liked and what I didn’t. I took the opportunity when renovating our basement to make a home gym and invited Ray to start doing some weekly partner workouts with me. We took turns designing/planning each of our workouts and over the year we have come up with some really fun and tough workouts that we wanted to share with you all! Hope you enjoy them as much as much as we have!
