What Had Happened Was: Zumba
As many of you know this month FFFC is celebrating Zumba! Now, I have never actually signed up or participated in a Zumba class. I first heard about it about 5 years ago from a former co-worker who attended She said she tried this new class called Zumba and all she could think of is that I would love it. Over the years I have been ...

Never Too Much #Workout
I'm back at it in the gym with my personal trainer Heather Brooke Malone-Wolf (mouthful right)? I started double dipping again with trainer and boot camp. It is hard but necessary if I want to meet my goal of wearing a 2-piece this summer while on vacation. As my girl tells me all the time, Summer Bodies Are Made In The Winter. Well this ...

Bandz #Workout
I must admit this is one of the most RATCHET songs I have ever heard. I also discovered my husband downloaded it on iTunes! Regardless of how off the hook it is sometimes we just need to get RAW because it helps us through those tough workouts or long arduous runs. Well I had to name this workout after this song because it was a tough one ...

Kinda like the song says, "I found love in a hopeless place!" When I joined Fit Like Me Divas (FLMD) on January 17, 2012, I was in a hopeless place. Exhausted by the demands of being a stay-at-home Mom for nearly 9 years to two lively, comical, energetic, beautiful boys, still reeling in grief from the sudden 2008 death of my Mom's beloved ...

March is Zumba Month at FFFC!
I have been hearing about Zumba for well over 4 years now. My co-worker approached me after taking a class and told me that she thought I would love it! Four years later I still haven't taken a Zumba class. It has grown in popularity and now there are Wii games, additional classes at the gym, Zumba events and well it has really taken ...

#Nike+ Running App Review
I finally got a chance to try out another running app as I ran a quick and I do mean VERY quick 25 to 30 minute treadmill workout. Long story short...daycare closes by a certain time and I was late getting to the gym with my little 5-year old.
I decided to try the Nike+ Running app which I downloaded to my iPhone some months ago. I found out ...
Fitness Sisterhood
Many people enjoy working out alone. It gives them time to concentrate on their mind/muscle connection and it is their "me" time. They work out solo in the weight room or running inside or outside. I don't fault them because if you get the "wrong" workout buddy it can be more harmful and beneficial and our work out time is precious so who ...

AYM Mountain Yoga Retreat
My girl, Althea Thompson, and fellow rattler (you see we both attended Florida A&M University) stepped out there and left corporate America to start her journey to her new life.

Taking The Plunge
I've been a fitness enthusiast for years. I remember being 12 and away at camp and working out on their nautilus machines and taking aerobics to the high-energy songs of the 80's like "Gloria" and "Maniac". That was also the birth era of rap music which has its bunch of songs to work out to. This has been in my blood for a while. When I ...
