Rant Post – Put Down Those Weights

Ok I am just gonna have to put this out there put down those puny weights.  First let me say I applaud all of the women who want to work on improving their strength by including weights into their workout program. Losing weight is not made by cardio alone.  Muscle burns FAT and increases the metabolism so the more you build the ...

No Excuses #Workout

Sometimes you have to be flexible and that is just what I was this morning.  My trainer needed to move my time so I met her bright and early at 5:00 am today.  Well it actually wasn't that bright - it was PITCH BLACK but I showed up rearing to go.  I got there before they even unlocked the doors.  Below is the workout of the day.  No excuses ...

Too Close #Workout

I may not mind being too close given how cold it is out here on the East Coast but nonetheless I trekked my behind out to the gym in the cold dark night to get it in with trainer extraordinaire Heather Brooke Malone Wolf (phew that is a mouthful).  Anywho this is the latest we did and let me just say she did not take it easy on me!  I was ...

You will need the following ...

Fabulous Fitale Workout

Thursdays are my group workout days with my trainer.  Now there are a couple of things about Thursday workouts. #1 Our workouts start at 5:30 am!  UGH I have to get up earlier. #2 I am usually still sore from my workout on Tuesday! With all of that said - 30 grueling minutes later is normally met with my sweaty face, exhausted pant and ...

Is It Over Yet Workout

I recently started running the neighborhood with one of my neighbors.  The entire run is 3.65 miles and includes hills with varying grades.  The first hill is extremely STEEP!  Anywho we both workout with trainers on Tuesday and Thursday and decided to run together on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Well she texted (sp?) me last night wanting to know ...
