Where Have You Been All My Life – Polar FT4 Review
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 ...

Check My Heart Beat
I am more than excited. I finally purchased my first Polar HRM to monitor my heart rate while working out. YIPPEE for me! This may not seem like such a big deal but it IS because I have had trouble in the past finding a dependable yet simple HRM to use during my workouts. Quite honestly - the only time I used it was when I was running...
SHOTS #Workout
I was sweating up a storm today with today's workout. I was working hard PLUS it was hot up in there. Either way I started my workout with a 9-minute mile treadmill warm up. Gotta get that blood flowing. So warm up on the treadmill - go quick so your body doesn't know what you are up to and WERK IT! ENJOY!
Equipment:
Bench
Dumbbells...
BOOOOO #Workout
I love my trainer to death. Been working out with her for a minute now. I am seeing progress and results. But seriously - after boot camp, I am SOOOO not in the mood for her. I say this because sometimes I end up working the same body part which is achey and sore. Thursday at Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp we did at least 400 ...

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!

#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 ...

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 ...
