May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

S is for Snacks
//
The letter "S" is for snacks. If any of you are like me, working out multiple times a week constantly leaves me hungry throughout the day. On one hand that is a good thing, gives me an inclination my metabolism is burning but on the other hand - it gets difficult to make the right choice if I do not plan properly.
Check out my quick ...
Q is for Quiet Time
There's something to be said for those individuals who have quiet time in the morning to meditate and spend time with themselves and God during the quiet hours of the morning. They tend to be less stressed and happier people. I know people personally who meditate and are better for it. They are the see the cup half full vs. half empty ...

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 ...
Get Insanely Hard Muscles with the 300 Rise of an Empire Workout
Do you want to know how the hundreds of muscle bound bodies covering the screen in the movie 300 Rise of an Empire got so unbelievably ripped? Well I did the research for you. Unfortunately the cast exercised for 3 hours a day under a very strict regime set forth by Gym Jones. However, by researching the program I was able to take the core ...
The DCNs of Fitness
Military fitness trainer and inventor of Strength Stack 52 fitness cards, Sergeant Michael Volkin, has only three main rules for staying in shape. He refers to all three of these rules as the DCNs of fitness. “If you use my rules of DCN, you will have a killer body and be healthier than ever” he claims. So what is DCN? We wanted to know too, ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...

If you need staying accountable with your workouts, perhaps you need to find a fitness friend.
