  • Not Even Kids on Sports Teams Get Enough Exercise

    Not Even Kids on Sports Teams Get Enough Exercise So relying on your child’s sports team to ensure they get enough exercise may guarantee that they are getting in their 60 mins of activity because of instruction time! We parents just can’t win! What are we to do — think about encouraging or finding additional…

  • SweetGreen Hosts Free Yoga Sessions FTW!

    I love companies that really give back what they are ‘selling’ — SweetGreen in Reston Town Center is hosting free yoga weekend for their neighborhood at Down Dog Yoga — which happens to be super close to where I work.  What a great idea – host a free yoga session to promote healthy and fit…

  • Cold Blast of Air Workout

    There is something down right mean about making a group of women run outside when its below 30′ at 545A. Sometimes I think our trainer gets some joy out of making us suffer thru the workouts– but probably not – he has to get up at that time too. warmup checkpoints lunge jumps frankensteins corex2…

  • Wakeup Workout

    This Monday is a cold chilly one! I was happy there was no outside component to the workout. I am back down the 2lbs I gained from Thanksgiving feasting – so that was welcome news this morning, knowing that I lost control with those Almond shortbread cookies that I devoured! I made sure yesterday that…

  • Friday workout

    Morning Everyone. It’s cold out there so bundle up. Today was group training — 5 of us doing some conditioning/muscle development work. It was challenging and fun and a brand new routine — warmup 2m double under practice corex2 6inches figure 8s ladders 30 pushups general stretching WOD x2 135lb Roman Dead Lifts Hamstring Curls…

  • Post Evening Out workout

    Yesterday I was in all day meetings and then headed out for a work dinner – got home around 1030p. Long but very productive day.  Working in this online world is great however it’s rare that I get to meet outside vendors. It’s really nice to be able to meet with them and then have…

  • Mini Camp Workout

    Someone recently asked me why do I keep posting my workouts and talking about all the focus it takes to live healthy and fit — i think personally it’s good to have a record of the work I have done and track my progress but it’s also for anyone that follows me -you know that…

  • Freeze your butt off workout

    Super cold morning – sub 30′ outside.  I want to acknowledge how sweet my husband is for allowing my car to be in the garage last night so that I didn’t have to scrape the frost/ice off the windshield and get the shock of the cold air when I first went outside. Little did I…

  • Gold’s Gym Workout

    I decided to go to Gold’s because I was just not in the mood for a run outside. I ran on Thanksgiving and just wasn’t into running solo. I haven’t been to Gold’s since probably late spring – why workout inside when the weather is beautiful and you can get outside?? Gold’s Gym in Ashburn…

  • Thanksgiving Recovery Workout

    Yes, I did indeed keep my appointment with Group training today at 545A. Just because there is no work today does not mean your body gets a day off. Turkey day was my day to let my guard down in regards to what I ate. I enjoy eating pumpkin pie and turkey with all the…
