Julie Knapp is a professional writer who’s passionate about health and fitness. She holds a personal trainer certification from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and is a self-proclaimed expert in health & wellness, nutrition, green living, beauty, pets and children’s and baby products. Knapp was formerly the Beauty Editor of Parents magazine and on the editorial staffs of Gifts.com and Sprig.com.
You can read Knapp’s work in Parents, Kiwi, iVillage.com, Competitor, Weight Watchers, Serendipity Greenwich, WeTV.com and Mother Nature Network (MNN.com). She also blogs regularly for green lifestyle site EcoSalon.com and sustainable kids design site Inhabitots.com. Also, as an outlet for her passions of fitness and writing, Knapp founded her blog healthy green living blog JivaFit.
Even though Knapp is based in Brooklyn, New York, she’s often traveling to her home state of Michigan, her fiancé’s hometown of Vancouver or to farther away destinations like Ireland, Barbados or Portugal. Whether at home or on the go, she loves being active everyday, and she’ll never let the cold weather stop her from going outside.
Whether she’s taking her French bulldog Leo for a long walk in the park, heading to the mountains for a ski weekend, going for a run or participating in an outdoor boot camp class, Cuddl Duds help her stay warm even when the temperature drops. That said, she never hesitates to slip on Activewear or Softwear to stick it out during a chilly night of outdoor socializing or to deal with overly-air conditioned indoor conditions, too!
Knapp is excited to share her passion for healthy living and tips for how Cuddl Duds can fit into your life—and even make it better! Read her posts, follow her on Twitter and send her an email to let her know why you love Cuddl Duds.
