Took It To The Pavement
As you may have just read I had a weekend filled with poor eating habits and very little sleep. A recipe for disaster when it comes to maintaining optimal health. I took it outside today and hit the pavement with my bestest running buddy and neighbor. She is always down for an outside run and exploring new and longer routes. Today we did ...

Q.U.E.E.N. #Workout
Today was my second day back with my personal trainer Heather and it felt good. The gym was a little muggy and humid but other than that I think I am quickly getting back into the groove of things. You see last month I traded working out with weights twice a week for boot camp which is rigorous workout with a bunch of cardio that helps to ...
Welcome Back #Workout
I am sitting out of the Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp today because I have been desiring a little rest and balance in the mornings. With that said I started going back to my personal trainer at Brick Bodies - Heather and it was like I never left. We worked it today and she worked ME! In only 30 minutes I burned close to 200 calories and ...

Have You Been Drinking?
If you get thirsty - your body is already dehydrated. One of this month's challenges is to consume at least 1/2 your body weight of water in ounces (if you weight 100 lbs drink 50 oz) a DAY!!! If you are active and sweating then you will need even MORE!!! There are so many benefits of drinking water regularly it isn't even funny. It helps ...

Countdown….Only 30 Days Left – Did You Vote Yet?
This is the final month of a 3-month contest I entered with my local gym Brick Bodies (PHEW). It's been a long time but several supportive followers, co-workers, family and friends have continued to vote for me daily to help me win this contest which is hosted on Facebook. It is a Social Treadmill Challenge and I am really trying to win. ...
Who Needs Medicine?
I work for a health insurance company and every year we have an opportunity to decrease our annual medical benefit premium by participating in a biometric screening. They measure our cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, BMI, and blood pressure. I signed up last week and silly me forgot I had it this morning. I drank my green smoothie with ...

Phine Body vs. Booty Boot Camp
I must admit I watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta faithfully since well...since it started. This season there are two characters who both came out with workout DVDs. On the show one of the characters had plans to make a video about "donkey booties". Her term for plump, fat buttocks which is a trait often associated with women of African ...
My New Normal
I have been working out regularly since 2008. I started working out regularly again then because I went out with some friends, one of whom I hadn't seen for a year, and she looked FANTASTIC. Small waist, petite physique ... all that. I wanted to learn how she got that way. I found out she had been working with a personal trainer. I knew ...
If You Didn’t Come To Party
Then you should go home. That is how it is in boot camp. If you didn't come to work hard - why come out at 5:30 am at all? We don't come out there to sit on the wall or the bleachers. We come out there to WORK! Today was no different. Thursdays are normally toning day and that means we focus on hand weights and upper and lower body ...
Can You Hang?
If you are actively participating in or lurking on the FFFC private or public Facebook pages you know over the next few weeks we have scheduled 5:45 am 3-mile runs. I am excited about this because I am ready to take it back outside. The air is fresh and it invigorates me. I also like the camaraderie as I tend to run with my neighbor. I ...
Who Run The World?
Today started off as a very good day. Got up, got dressed, picked up my neighbor and started Sanders Optimum Fitness boot camp - Week 2. Our warm up was a walk/jog/sprint to get in our first mile. Pheewwww I'm used to that later on in the session! It was good though - I never walk now because I will never catch up if I do. We did ...
Featured Fitale Marquita Taylor
I have always been bigger than my peers. In middle school I was the first girl to have to wear a bra and I failed gym class in high-school because of my disinterest in physical activity outside of the sport of competitive swimming. The need to be well changed my life. So many times African-American women attribute our “assets” to genetics ...
Day 3 Boot Camp – DRINK MY SWEAT!
Arrived at boot camp late ya'll. They had already started the 1-mile, 10-minute jog as I was putting down my stuff. Something told me they were going to warm us up with running in the Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp so I prepared and already had my earphones and iPod shuffle hooked up ready to pop in my ears so I dropped my bag and TOOK ...
My Treadmill, My Friend
My husband set aside the unfinished area of our basement as our home gym. We have equipped it with a lot of stuff so if we chose to, we could workout downstairs vs. having to get in our cards and trek on over to the gym. One of my most favorite pieces of equipment is my Proform 785SS treadmill. I purchased it back when we lived in a town ...
