  • Group Training Wednesday

    Group training – new session. This week I am raring to go workout. If you stop and think about how you feel afterwards, you realize how great it really is.  Even when you finish one of those workouts where you are sore almost immediately, it really is a great sign that your body is training.…

  • A 2m run to start your day

    Today is the start of school for the kids in my county. Hannah is heading into 3rd grade and my baby Nate is heading into 1st grade but first time in Public School. As usual, I headed to boot camp before taking them to school on their first day. Today’s boot camp was tough! warmup…

  • 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…

  • Lawn work is a Work out!

    Lawn work is my workout. I don’t mind mowing and clearing/cleaning up the lawn. I find it very relaxing and it’s a great workout. In about an hour, I burn about 500 calories and I don’t have a humongous yard or anything. It does have a slight incline in the back so that always helps…

    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…

  • A Welcome Workout

    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…

  • Exercise with an injured foot

    Mikey switched it up today and had us do Tuesday’s workout on a Monday. Imagine the horror!! He said he was trying to shake our bodies up –but between us, I think he forgot what day it was and set up for the Tuesday workout. We will never know! The pic to the left is…
