  • Get Moving…

    I saw this interesting piece of news targeted at women: Exercise Can Help Prevent Weight Gain, But It Won’t Be Easy There’s a lot of attention paid to what works when it comes to losing weight. But that’s not really the hard part; anyone can diet or exercise in the short term, but maintaining a…

  • Group Session Wednesday

    I felt great about how today’s group went. I saw gains in all the circuits which is always a great motivator. 3 30 sec intervals of jumping with the heavy rope for a warm-up. I could feel that I have gotten better at these! General stretching Core work 40 push-ups 2 rounds 1min BOSU crunches…

  • HIT Training

    I have mentioned this before because this type of workout is what I do 4x a week, but in the article linked to below – they are talking about IT too. IT is HIT (High Intensity Training) – short bursts of intense workouts and then take short breaks. The researchers are still not sure why…

  • Kids Bowling Free Offer: All Summer Long

    Found this at a great blog I read: Free Technology for Teachers: If you like to bowl with your family and are looking for something to do during the summer inside with AC – this may be a good deal for you. You do have to pre-register and buy a family pass for $24.95 which…

  • 5 minute stations are killing me

    I had to force myself to not listen to that little sleep voice this morning that says: stay in bed. It was tough but I prevailed and got my butt up and headed to Plumbline Training. The 5 minute stations are not my favorite camp session. There is a lot of resting when you are…

Though it has quietly offered discounts to nonstudents for years, STA Travel began actively promoting “flights for everyone” on its home page late last year, highlighting sales and negotiated discounts available to travelers of any…

  • Notable News

    In the end, it is all about our behavior and the choices we make. When we are armed with the right information, we can make powerful changes in our biology. We don’t have to be slaves to it. For food, so much of the issue is about quality, not quantity. Most people don’t appreciate the…

  • You Can too.

    As I mentioned earlier, we ran into Michael, founder of Plumbline Training at the Brambleton Race this past Saturday. He ran with his family in tow. He also took a great shot of the Plumbline Ladies after the race. This picture represents some of the greatest ladies I have met through my bootcamp and we…

  • Workout.

    After 2 gorgeous, perfect weather days – I woke up to rain. It’s a nice change of pace and it’s definitely a sign of spring. I heard the weather man say possibility of Thunder Storms — Spring is here!  While out shopping yesterday, I bought myself some flowers. I think having fresh flowers in your…

  • Race Results are In

    Here are the official race results from yesterday’s race. For the record – I do not like non electronic race results because they are not accurate. Not everyone starts at the same time and then when you are in the line to hand in your race # ticket, people tend to cut in front of…
