Live Fit and Sore

Category: Fitness/Exercise

  • A wonderful morning!

    I went for a run this morning with 2 of my favorite ladies. We met at Partlows on the W&OD Trail and did 4 miles together – I ran .5 mi there and back to meet them.  It certainly makes the time go by faster and the run seem easier when you have good company.…

  • Join me in a challenge – 3000 push-ups in 30 days

    Along with a few of my friends, I am going to do 100 a push ups a day for 30 days to participate in a 3000 push-ups in 30 days challenge. The push-ups don’t have to be done all at once. Maybe I will do 50 in the AM and 50 in the PM. Or…

  • Notable News

    Still a bit under the weather so my initial idea of getting up and going for a run fell to the wayside. I did want to share some interesting news I have come across the past few days: Vitamin D and colorectal cancer focus of new Arizona study U of AZ is my Alma mater…

  • Sleep does a body good

    In addition to me being a bit under the weather, my real job has been insanely busy. I work for an education company and the time before Back to school is our busiest. We are feverishly working trying to get our ducks in a row ready for the upcoming school year.  It seems that everyone…

  • Find your passion

    I read this blog entry today: called Weight Loss at The Anti Jared and it struck a chord with me. I have said this before – find your passion and things seem to fall into place. For Tony, aka The Anti Jared,  it was his newborn son and wife. For me – it is the…

  • Not feeling so hot

    I don’t feel good today and it really showed in my workout. It was hard to go and hard to finish. The PT station was a killer to me and I really wanted to just go home.  I may take a cue from the way I feel and skip tomorrow – who knows. Warmup 400m…

  • Get out there and work on your fitness!

    Another great workout. We switched up partners which always adds a new element to the workout. Kristen was my partner and her and I are about the same height and level and we kicked ass.  We finished the workout – pull ups and all. And trust me, it was a lot of Pull -ups 30,…

    Giving back to others is part of Living a fit and healthy life.   I wanted to focus on something that I felt passionately about and decided to share the experience of my own transformation.   Once a month, I write an article that is published in the monthly HOA newsletter that is sent to all…

  • Kettle Bells

    A vat of kettle bells Kettle Bells have been around for a while but are just gaining popularity as the workout du jour. You can get a great workout from them and they are really versatile.  The only thing I find is that many gyms don’t have them and have seen people bring their own.…
