How To Stay Motivated
I remember first committing to a more regular workout routine. I was excited and felt I could take on the world! Even though I was not at my physical peak I felt STRONG! I engulfed myself into fitness by subscribing to magazines and IN MY HEAD seeing and doing the exercises. And then after about a month or so...the feeling wanes and I ...
Make Me Stronger Workout
This morning I woke up and felt good. Had good energy and sipped on water prior to this workout. It is intense because my trainer incorporated a bunch of trisets and combinations that kept the body working and guessing. On my way home I passed my husband on the way to the gym - he thought he would still catch me there to "smoke me" as he ...

Fitness Idol – Erin Stern
Erin Stern is absolutely AMAZING! I first came across her while reading several of the fitness magazines I subscribe to. What I admire about her is her athleticism, competitiveness and physique. She has been on too many covers and fitness contests to count.
Check her out.

Heart Rate Monitor Watch
About 3 weeks ago I posted about losing my beloved Sportline heart rate monitor. I have no idea how I lost it. I went running with a friend from college, documented my workout in Runkeeper and then went to the grocery store. We returned, we made smoothies and then she was on her way. Well I looked high and low for that puppy and could ...
In The Gym with Jaquelyn Kastelic
I first read about Jaquelyn in a fitness magazine. It was near the end of last year and there was this article about a petite woman who lifts MASSIVE weights so I read her story. I was impressed with her ever since. I have "liked" her page on Facebook, figured out when I will be able to try her Crossfit "box" located in Virginia (haven't ...
