Check out these ways that running can make you healthier:

Look What I Stumbled Upon – Nike Training Club
Have you ever scrolled through the apps on your iPhone prepared to delete a few you have never seen before or ever used and fell upon an app you thought was going to hit the delete pile and ended up being one of your greatest new finds? That is what happened to me the other day. See, I have an iPhone and so does my husband.  I know he ...
Back In The Saddle – SOF Boot Camp, Week 3, Day 3
I must be a glutton for punishment. I am signed BACK up for boot camp and we just completed week 3 of a 4-week 1-hour session. This week was BRUTAL. I can't lie. We did more sprints, mile runs, jumping jacks, 1000 abs, squats, lunges, did I say jumping jacks than any top fit athlete, let alone a regular every day Joan like ME has gotten ...
Why Oh Why Runkeeper?
I ran with my Runkeeper last weekend around my neighborhood for a little over 3 miles. I used both my Runkeeper and Nike+ allowing the music to play through Runkeeper. I hooked up my Wahoo strap to detect my heart rate and paired it with Runkeeper. Runkeeper confirmed it was connected and bingo I was set!
I stepped outside my house in the ...
FFFC Ladies In Full Effect
Hi everyone. I know it may seem I have been slacking but I have actually been keeping quite busy. I have gone full throttle into boot camp and working out with my personal trainer the second month in a row so full beast mode is on! I have noticed a few things:
Clothes are looser
Workout clothes need an overhaul because again, they are ...

January Is The Running Month of Champions!
Hi FFFC readers!!! I am declaring something right at this moment, right now. Starting in January 2013, FFFC plan to feature any and everything about running starting with my own personal goal of building up my running pace from where it is today. Based on my past 2 runs I average around a 9:50 minute/mile and for me that just won't ...
#Thanksgiving Damage
If you have time to sit back and reflect what type of damage did you do this Thanksgiving? Did you throw caution into the wind? Did you just say "2 peas in a bucket.....you know the rest"? Welp I will admit that these are MY confessions. I own up to what I do and it doesn't make me a bad person. Makes me human.
I know what needs ...

Body Weight Interval Training
Just kidding. I enjoy cardio. Helps me clear my mind. Make sure you get out of it what you need. I enjoy bodyweight workouts because they work the entire body and you don't need a gym or hand weights. Give it all you got and mind over matter. Nothing succeeds like success. Now let's GO and leave a comment telling me how well you ...
Outrun Cancer
My first and last 5K race was the Susan G. Komen race in 2005 I did while employed at Erickson Living. Â It was a nice Fall day and I was so invigorated and exhilirated! Â I mean I had a real sense of accomplishment PLUS I raised money for a worthy cause. Â Fast forward to 2012 (boy how time flies) and I am contemplating signing up and raising ...

Run As Fast As You Can Workout
I completed this workout AFTER a 22 minute outdoor run - IN THE RAIN! Needless to say I felt icky and exhilirated all at the same time while finishing up this workout in the gym. I went home and took a VERY nice and soothing shower. Try out this workout and let me know how you feel!
Equipment needed:
 Step bench with 4 risers each ...
NCR Trail
Every Saturday the ladies of Femme Fitale get together in either a small or large group to walk and run outdoors. Â We normally do it early in the morning to get it out of the way, it is quiet and much cooler than if we waited later in the day.
Today.....me and one Fittie will be headed to the NCR Trail which is a beautiful and lovely trail near ...
HIIT the Hills Routine
Ok I am not going to lie..you will be WHIPPED after this one but it will be all worth it! If anyone is like me (I'm currently working on Operation Bikini Bahamas) then to achieve my current fitness goals will require some heavy-handed workouts! If you are with me, and have your own personal fitness mission for the summer leave a comment and ...
