Work It Wednesday Workout
This workout was focused primarily on legs. Everyone knows my hamstrings are TIGHT. They stay tight. Well today, my trainer had me working on my hamstrings which must be the weakest part of my body. I tried not to throw evil looks as I worked through the lactic acid but I am not sure I accomplished that. Anywho - this is the workout. ...
End Of Time and Week In Review
First I would like to say I hope everyone had a wonderful time at the Beyoncé concert these past few weeks. All I have been seeing on Facebook and Instagram are amazing photos and glimpses of Beyoncé on stage in concert with her hair blowing throwing down the dance moves. You guys looked like you had a ball and I hear it is one of ...
Blurred Lines and Week In Review
Maaaaannnnnnnnn this week was CRAY CRAY! I was really sick on Sunday which boiled over into Monday. Work was hectic and busy with a major launch and my workouts were sporadic. I was tired ALL WEEK so obviously I did not do my best to stay fully nourished and to get adequate sleep. It is necessary to get the appropriate amount of sleep and ...
July 22 Workout Week in Review
I am still doubling up with Sanders Optimum Fitness workouts along with my personal trainer's workouts. I wish Monte and Heather would talk to each other because this week was tough. I was sore ALL WEEK. When I say sore, I am talking about abs and hamstrings. It took a mile run just to warm up my hamstrings in my boot camp class. OY! ...

Come Here Workout
Woke up at the crack of dawn, dressed in the dark and made my way to Brick Bodies gym in Reisterstown, Maryland. Walked in and waited about 5 minutes for my trainer. Honestly - I was praying she was a no-show and I could possibly just go back home and jump in the bed. No such luck - she finally walks out letting me know someone ...
Fine China Workout
I felt good today. I came entered the gym with energy, had about 24 oz of water to drink before we started and felt "strong". Granted I just drove 8 hours from South Carolina the day before on an EMPTY STOMACH but still had a chance to take a nap, wake up in my own time and move at my own pace. There is something to be said for ...
Wake Up Workout
I don't have much to say other than sleep is essential to the soul and make sure you get in your 7 or 8 hours. I walked in the gym this morning feeling whooped. I swear if I hadn't already paid for these sessions I probably would have stayed my butt in bed. My SOF sisters went running the 5-mile loop at 5:00 am this morning but I ...
Kettlebell and Medicine Ball Workout
If you want to ramp up your workouts then try this amazing medicine ball and kettlebell workout.
What more can I say and you are probably tired of hearing me say it but Heather worked me over on Tuesday. The workout included a medicine ball and kettlebell.
It was challenging but gave me energy. We did a lot of leg work as you will find and it ...
How Many Drinks Workout
Aaaaand I was back in there on Friday to turn it up and turn it loose. I walk in and I am just as chill as I wanna be. I was feeling good. Not anticipating the discomfort from the workout. I came in, stretched and sat down on the bench. Then we got it started and I didn't think about it - I just kept moving as best I ...

Want to tighten and tone your lower body? Then try these gym workouts to get an amazing burn.
YAY today was leg day ----- NOT! I couldn't catch a break with Heather my personal trainer today. First she had me picking up my own weights for this gym workout!
Told me it is about time I go and get my own weights.
She normally picks them up ...
Ouch #Workout
There is something to be said for the term "No Pain No Gain". I don't want to think of it like pain but rather soreness. Pain means the body is in some sense of danger or distress. Being sore to me just means I pushed it and now the body needs to rebuild. Welp my workout last Tuesday had me so sore it was ridiculous! She spared no ...
Get ULTRA RIPPED with the MAN OF STEEL Workout
I was fortunate enough to be invited to the movie premier of Man of Steel before the rest of the world. I was shocked to see how ripped Henry Cavill (Superman) got. After some research I discovered his secret for packing on massive muscle in such a short time. Let me share with you my findings.
First, let me state that Henry Cavill worked with ...
How You Doing?
I made it through 3 days of boot camp this week and 1 personal training session with Heather! Hallelujah!!!! I did have some foul ups on the diet front but trust me - boot camp yesterday and this morning definitely made me pay for it.
Let's check out my workouts for this week so far:
Monday
Day 1 of boot camp and we were placed in the small ...
Captain Chair #Workout
Folks, I am back in the gym with my personal trainer Heather Brooke Malone Wolf. It was on today!!! Have you ever looked at yourself and felt you could look better? I know push the negatives aside and focus on the positives. I am sore so that IS a positive! A good sore of course. You know trainers can help you push you through your ...
Shoulda Let You Go #Workout and Week In Review
I guess you have figured it out by now I am naming workouts after songs that I have felt the need to use as my power songs for that week. I am not really hip to all of the latest R&B music out there because I basically listen to CNN in the car, but when I do get an opportunity to hear a new song with a LIVE beat - I find out what it is and ...
Leggo #Workout and Week In Review
I'mma be honest - this week was a wee bit slow. I only worked out 3 days this week! EEK can't remember the last time I did that but this is NOW the most recent time. I remember in the beginning of my workout journey I was aiming to work out 5 days a week at least and NOW I can't imagine working out less than 5 days a week. My how times ...
30 Minutes of Funk #Workout and Week In Review
This week was a very busy week when it came to my workout. I travelled back from Virginia late Sunday and ran around very early on Monday so Tuesday we got things back to some sort of working order. Plus my diet over the weekend was HORRIBLE so I had to get back on the grind to work it out which I did.
Monday
No fitness activity
Tuesday
I was ...
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 ...
YOLO #Workout
Life is short and You Only Live Once so make it count! I am one who wants to sleep in when I realize the morning is dark and very cold but I still figure out how to get my butt up and get a work out in because hey.....tomorrow is not promised and consistency is key. So in between working out at my boot camp I see my personal trainer and ...
