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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
SMASHED!
I made PROGRESS! My endurance has definitely improved. I did the 30-minute Oxygen Stepmill Workout today and SMASHED IT!!!!! I mean I got through it without having to adjust any of the speed OR feeling like I was going to fly off the back. That is progress in my book! I credit the Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp for that progress ...

I am so proud of myself. I finally a Zumba class!!! Yes, yup....I know - what took me so long? I have heard a lot about this thing called Zumba since ohhhhh 2008!

I am visiting with my mom ...
Inch by Inch
I have worked really hard to share amazing transformation stories with all of you. The ladies who have been featured are nothing short of AMAZING!

Heart Attack
That is what it felt like I was having when I sprinted my way around the gym today in boot camp. This is the 4th week of boot camp and our instructor took it up a notch to TEST us on everything we should have improved upon from week 1. Whether this was your first boot camp or your 21st, we got it in today.

No Excuses #Workout
Sometimes you have to be flexible and that is just what I was this morning. My trainer needed to move my time so I met her bright and early at 5:00 am today. Well it actually wasn't that bright - it was PITCH BLACK but I showed up rearing to go. I got there before they even unlocked the doors. Below is the workout of the day. No excuses ...

If you have been following this blog you know I had an HRM I used that gave me less than stellar results. You would also know I have been participating in boot camp since like August 2012 and am still in my last session (I plan to take a break for April). Anywho - based on reading so many other pages and posts, I finally found a heart ...
