  • Plyometrics – Box Jumps

    Although I was a little stiff from yesterdays run, I was raring to go workout this morning. I am not saying I wasn’t tired — I was super tired but I wanted to go — which makes it that much easier to get up and out. Mikey switched up the workout today because the burpees…

  • 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…

  • Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

    I feel fall in the air and what a difference it makes in my workout. For one, I can breathe — the heat and humidity wreak havoc with my asthma so this cooler air is a welcome break. Also, I have more energy to do the workouts with the cooler weather. Win no matter how…

  • Adding a new level of Fun to Boot Camp!

    Yesterday morning I was running so late and rushing around to get out of the house to get to work but as I walked out to my car, I saw this big beautiful butterfly and had to stop to appreciate it. It had bright blue outline on the inside and orange on the outside and…
