P is for Push Ups
Any and everyone who knows me knows I enjoy doing push ups. I know that sounds strange but I do. You know why? Due to another "P" word, powerful. It makes me feel powerful.
I do them in boot camp and with my personal trainer. I do them on my own and while working out with my girls. It is my go-to exercise.
I started doing ...
J is for Jump Rope
Easily one of my favorite forms of cardio, I think many of us forget how effective jumping rope is. I decided to buy a jump rope years into my adulthood when I watched Zuzana of Zuzka Light and formerly of the BodyRock TV days jumping rope and working up a sweat. Another fitness guru who got me motivated to jump rope was Jennifer Nicole ...
H is for Health
Health means different things to different people. For some it is physical endurance. For others it is beating a debilitating disease. For others it is improving what they put in their mouth. Define what health is for you and then do you research to optimize it. Do you have high blood pressure? Is it hereditary? What do you need to ...
G is for Goals
I will admit, I am not one to set too many goals when it comes to fitness. A friend once told me to sign up for a race therefore I would have a goal to strive for to help with my long distance run training. It didn’t help – signing up for a half marathon did not actually make me train more or harder than I normally would.
Now ...
F is for FitFluential

Long story short we caught wind that FitFluential was going to be considering intaking new fitness ambassadors by opening up their Ambassador Program application process. They took some time to ...
E is for Effort
One of the things I have learned since working out with groups, personal trainers and coaches is the "E" word - EFFORT.
**Warning** This post may sound a bit like a rant like one of my other posts about putting down those light weights but if I didn't love you enough to tell the truth then there is no need to having this platform. I ...
D is for Diet
When I started working out with a trainer in 2008 she constantly told me I should eat clean. In other words I needed to clean up my diet. Honestly – I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought I was eating healthily. I mean my diet consisted of eating fruit at the bottom yogurt, orange juice not from concentrate and grapes or ...
B is for Burpees
Don’t we all find burpees just fantabulous? I mean the more you do the more you want to do right? We absolutely love the feeling of your heart about to pound out of your chest while trying to catch your breath.
Of course I’m being facetious but you get my point. Burpees are my least favorite exercise for oh so many ...

To Eat or Not To Eat – That’s The Question
One of our illustrious Femme Fitale Fit Club members posted this question to the group "Do you eat before your workouts?" Now I must admit I do not. Not because I think I will burn more fat or anything, but because I either get sidestitches or nauseas and queasy. Sounds like good reasons to not eat before an intense workout right? Well she ...
