  • Workout Love now that Fall is here!

    A great fall morning — crisp and chilly. I love working out in this weather — and I love the fact that all of us boot camp ladies leave sweating our pants off. That my friends is a sign of a great workout.  I love living in Northern Virginia in the fall — we have…

  • Modified Rainy Day Workout

    Another rainy morning — it’s like we are living in the Pacific Northwest!  I have been fighting a bug all weekend but I felt good enough to head to boot camp this AM. It’s a new month’s routine — so this week should be fun and challenging. warmup rockette kicks back walking lunge bounding backpedal…

  • What are you?

    I read this post this morning: Experimenting with Scale Purgatory about taking a break from the scale. Isn’t it funny the relationship some of us have with the scale? It’s crazy if you think about it — it’s not rational. It’s a number that has so much power over us. And what I find so interesting…

  • Obesity Costs Women More Directly & Indirectly

    I’m including this article today because I think it speaks volumes of the hard costs of being overweight for women.  Some of it has to do with women earning more in general and includes a look at direct and indirect costs.  I also think that crap food is cheaper – relating back to economic status…

  • Trail Run tracked by mapmyrun.com

    During my presentation to parents this week — Creating Fit Families — my friend Heidi said something that really stuck with me — she said ‘we as parents, cant afford to wait around until someone else gives us an opportunity to get our kids out there and active’. It’s up to us to do it!…

  • An all Kinds of Awesome Workout

    Friday means the weekend is almost here!! And I am so glad to see it — long week, lots of work to do, lots of home stuff going on. I know I have said this before, but in a lot of ways I am so happy I do workout. I can not imagine what I…

  • Another Rainy Day Workout

    I love rain and all — but this is ridiculous! Although for boot camp — I am happy it was pouring. We can’t workout in the pouring rain because Mikey doesn’t want his equipment wet, oh and for our safety.  We can workout in a slight drizzle, mist and light rain but pouring is out…

  • Fit Families

    I gave a presentation today called ‘Creating Fit Families’ to help inspire and support parents as they do the same for their own families.  Someone asked me what are some exercises/fitness activities you can do if you don’t have a lot of money or you can’t really leave your house. Well — many of the…

  • The where is Kanye when you need him workout

    Sometimes the rain isn’t such a welcome sight — especially at 5a when you know you will be doing your outdoor bootcamp in it!  So I woke up and headed to camp hoping it would POUR so that we would be forced to be inside, but no such luck. And it was more misting than…

  • Fitting in a workout

    Here are just a few of the pics from yesterday’s Plane Pull — our team raised more than $2500 for VA Special Olympics and although we didn’t win – we did great considering we were one of the only teams comprised mainly of women. We pulled a 1200lb plane in like 8.6 seconds.  It was…
