  • Lunges rip me to the core…

    Today’s workout camp was not one of my best performances – The workout was just too hard – the combo of the heat and weights I lifted — let’s just say it was not good. Something about doing lunges just totally gets to my core — and almost brings me to tears. It mentally wears…

  • Starting it off right…

    Group training day – small group- 2 rounds of weight training and then a quick 2 station workout to end it.  I am sore from earlier this week boot camps which makes group that much harder — it’s a good sore but it’s sore nonetheless! warmup 200m run core x2 stability ball crunches stability ball…

  • It’s hot and humid!

    Let’s just say that today’s workout was not one of my favorites in that it was freakin’ hard. I think it seriously was one of the most challenging ones I have done in a very long time. Warmup side shuffle push-ups checkpoints skip jumps Core x2 partner ball toss 14lb dynamax ball hold and freeze…

  • A Buy Week

    This is actually an off week from boot camp. I took Sunday and Monday off from working out. My body has not really been given a proper rest in my opinion so taking a few days off from dedicated exercising did me good. I am going to do more running/cardio this week than weight training…

  • I am not going to lie and say it’s easy all the time

    I am not going to lie and say it’s easy all the time. This morning I just did not want to go workout – no way, no how. I started the dialogue with the sleep monster and it almost won – ALMOST. 2 years into this – my commitment and routine are so ingrained that…

  • What happened to the breeze?

    There was a nice breeze when we started the workout today, but for some reason – it quickly disappeared right after the warm up! I wonder why?? Because it’s friggin HOT! We had a late start today so we only did one round of warm ups but the rest was business as usual – and…

  • Get moving: Cancer survivors urged to exercise

    Get moving: Cancer survivors urged to exercise No surprise here! Exercise helps people in so many ways – mentally & physically.  And can help the recovery of cancer survivors! Read the last paragraph of this quote: You don’t have to be Lance Armstrong or even go to a 545a boot camp! Go for a walk,…

  • Call me Aunty Steph!

    I went for a short run yesterday morning on the trail. I did about 2 or so miles but with the heat and humidity, it felt more like 5 or 6. I ended up walking for the last part but at least I got it in. Great workout today although it was already a hot…

  • It IS worth it

    This heat is such an extra challenge for me. It seems to just zap any extra energy I may have – making tough workouts that much tougher. I do have to say though – I am happy I get it over with early in the morning. I can not imagine having to go in the…
