Okay so maybe this is an odd topic for the blog, but it’s on my mind this morning. I do a LOT of reading about fitness and nutrition. A LOT. I’ve been lifting weights since I was fourteen, so I have considerably more muscle mass than the average woman, which makes BMI a completely useless […]
So here we are at the start of Week 3 of my Listen To My Stomach campaign of Operation GIT. So far I haven’t seen any actual LOSS from this policy, but I have gotten into a routine of bringing breakfast (and lunch) to work and eating when I get legitimately hungry. It’s been pretty […]
Dear Accuweather, When you claimed that today was a good day for outdoor fitness at 72 degrees, clear, with a light breeze, you neglected to take into account the NINETY-THREE PERCENT HUMIDITY. Breathing water does not a good run make. I’m just sayin’. I’m testing out something new this week. Or old, depending on how […]
It is no secret that when I hang out on Pinterest, I have to do so with a timer. I get caught up (as most people do) looking at stuff. What I gravitate toward, though, is not the projects or the recipes or the hair stuff (though there’s some awesome stuff there). It’s the fitness […]
I was all set to post about this new web service thing I found this morning, but I’ll come back to that another day. Instead, I’m thinking about this article that demonizes steady state cardio. It has the oh, so provocative title of “Why Women Should Not Run.” It’s well cited, includes a lot of […]
I’ve already written about my experience with the Spartacus Workout Total Body Blitz. This morning I finally got around to trying out the other workout DVD that came with the set: the Spartacus Triple Set Scorcher. This one is a 30 minute workout comprised of 9 exercises broken down into 3 exercise sets. And then […]
Sometime last year I first read about The Spartacus Workout. There were, at that time, two different versions. The first was developed by the folks at Men’s Health after an amazingly popular article about training the actors who appear in the TV show Spartacus (Can we say 300-abs anyone? Yes please.). The workout was hugely popular. So […]
Well, I’m finally rolling on DOTH again. Chances are good that I won’t finish by my self imposed deadline of the 8th (the 1 year mark), which is really not a big deal other than the notion of taking more than a YEAR on a single book (even a seriously long single book) makes […]
So I mentioned in my post yesterday that I needed to shake things up some on the work out front. As it was raining this morning, it was a good time to give that a shot. Last night I went through my copy of Calm Sexy Slim Yoga and programmed the fat burning routine into my workout […]
First I have to talk about how I got on this topic in the first place. Yesterday, I saw someone tweet a link to this article about The Business 9 Women Kept A Secret For 3 Decades. Go ahead, read it. It’ll make you feel good. It did me. I was so enamored by the […]
