  • Fitness And the Over Forty Crowd

    I’ve been so tired getting used to my new routine with full time work so I decided to try going to some evening workout classes instead of getting up super early in the AM. I’m not sure if I like working out so late in the day – I prefer to get it over with…

  • Why Do You Workout?

    I’m not going to lie and say I was raring to go this morning. Getting up at 515A regularly is hard – I desperately wanted to hit snooze, roll over and get some more Zzz’s.  But I can’t do that. I like the benefits of exercise too much to compromise and one hour of sleep isn’t going…
