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…

Yes, I am a Jersey Girl
The family is headed to my old stomping grounds of North Jersey for the labor day weekend. The kids love going into NYC and I really want to hit up the jersey shore. It’s so funny how you don’t appreciate how close you live to all these great things when you are young. I lived…

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…

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…
