  • Want to find a bootcamp of your own?

    As many of you know – I credit a lot of my transformation to my bootcamp and my trainer,  Michael Thrash.  He owns plumblinetraining.com so he would most definitely be my recommendation in helping you acheive your fitness goals.   If by chance you don’t live near his facility but want to find a bootcamp…

  • What exercise did I do today?

    It was a glorious fall day so instead of going to the gym, I ran on the W0&D trail. I am lucky enough to live very close to the trail. The scenery was beautiful, it was brisk and fellow fitness minded people were out in force. I haven’t run on the trail since it started…

  • Gifts

  • What did I do at the Gym Today?

    Saturday and Sundays I train on my own. A group of the boot campers run on the Wo&D trail early Sat mornings. I find that although I do enjoy running with people at times, I prefer to work out solo on the weekends. Bootcamp is working solo but within a group so I get the…

    Common sense advice about being fit

    FitStars: Celebrity Trainer Mike Heatlie I like what this guy has to say. He trains Gwen Stefani. He discourages crunches and here’s why — “In my studio, if people are doing sit-ups, they are immediately banned and sent straight down to England! Sit-ups are a complete waste of time. Firstly to achieve a “six-pack” your…

    Falling off the Fitness Wagon

    No worries – I’m not falling off the wagon, but I get paranoid that I will  all the time. Maybe that’s healthy and necessary in order to stick with it. Falling off the Fitness Wagon Even though exercise is part of my routine, part of my life — I am continually asking myself what if?…

  • Wednesdays

    Wednesdays I do group training at 545a. It’s a bit more one on one training than the bootcamps are. There are 6 women and we do 5 stations rotating  after a  min a station 2x. Then we do what our trainer, MT, calls the PT station. It’s a more intense 3 station workout to finish…
