Live Fit and Sore

Category: Fitness/Exercise

  • Creative Workouts

    A quick post — Just got back from the local elementary school and while it was no boot camp workout — I did work up a sweat and feel good. I raced Nate around the running track 4x and then on the playground – we did pull ups, push-ups and then I did a bunch…

  • Fitting in Exercise

    Sometimes  I think when I let myself actually rest -things catch up with me. Since Scott is away and I can’t go to boot camp — I have been sleeping in and hanging with the kids since I am on vacation. But it seems like I am more tired and man this soreness is worse…

  • Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

    I’m like a broken record — I am S O R E from yesterday’s workout. So sore that today, I cut short my bargain basement elliptical workout this morning bc I was just too fatigued and sore. It’s great that I have been doing this boot camp program for over 2 years and can still…

  • Lawn work is a Work out!

    Lawn work is my workout. I don’t mind mowing and clearing/cleaning up the lawn. I find it very relaxing and it’s a great workout. In about an hour, I burn about 500 calories and I don’t have a humongous yard or anything. It does have a slight incline in the back so that always helps…

  • Managing Sore Muscles and Aches and Pains

    Managing Sore Muscles and Aches and Pains. Live fit and SORE right? But how do you manage being sore — even though it’s a good sore… You work hard all week, so when the weekend finally rolls around you want to play just as hard. There’s nothing like a few rounds of golf, a hike…

  • Strength training is about body, mind and spirit

    Many people approach physical fitness for cosmetic reasons; but real strength training is about body, mind and spirit, not good looks. Do you jump right into a workout without warming up? Do you “jerk” the weights when strength training? Do you overstretch in Yoga class because you don’t want to look like a noob? Editors…

  • Weekend Running

    It’s a gorgeous day in Northern VA. I woke up — got dressed for a run — had some water and headed out.  I sometimes use Mapmyrun.com to figure out the distance I go and today I mapped it at 5.16 miles. I am telling you the weather makes such a difference in my cardio…

  • Ashburn Village Sports Pavilion – Kids Triathlon

What…

  • Stick with it — there is no way you will regret it.

    I have a friend at bootcamp who seems to get down on herself too much — I saw her slowing down today and I said ‘Come on, you can do it — if I can, you can’. She said no way — and it got me thinking, does she really think that I have something…

  • A Welcome Workout

    I feel fall in the air and what a difference it makes in my workout. For one, I can breathe — the heat and humidity wreak havoc with my asthma so this cooler air is a welcome break. Also, I have more energy to do the workouts with the cooler weather. Win no matter how…
