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 ...
Let’s Get It In – Lloyd featuring 50 Cent Video
I totally enjoy listening to this song while doing cardio intervals or really going at it with weights because the pace and beat just gets me HYPE!

Run For Your Life
Submitted by: Low Carb Tiki
So you want to start running but you don’t know where to begin. It’s easier than you think. Some people think they can’t start running because of various health issues but it’s not true. For a number of diseases running can help reduce the impact or reverse the condition. I know a number of people who were ...

Two Can Play This Game
Submitted by: Ramona
First week of training is in the books! I was on vacation in Memphis, Tennessee and it was around 105-110 degrees everyday and in the 90s at night! I had every reason to believe that no running was going down for me...but the first morning I was there I woke up with no alarm clock and had running on my brain! I sat on my ...
Time for a Rock & Roll Encore
Submitted by: Ramona
I'm doing it again! That's right...training for another half marathon! The timing is right, too. My weight loss efforts have been at a standstill for about 2 months and I've even gained weight! Boooo!!! So I'm hoping the extra miles I'll be getting in weekly will turn things around. I have a goal to lose 20 lbs. At first I ...
These Shoes Were Made For….
Submitted by: Ramona
It's my second training run and it actually went really well! 4 miles today and I felt strong afterwards. So strong that I decided to take a Zumba class after my run. You see...while I was on a little "run-cation" I really got into other forms of exercise. I was getting my cross train ON! ;-) Zumba, by far, turned out to be ...

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. 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 ...
HIIT Cardio Routine – Only 20 Minutes
Sooooo here we are with a HIIT routine that is sure to get your fat cells hopping MAD! This routine is only 20 minutes but let me tell you - don't let the short routine fool ya! This is a doozy! I had to hold on at the end for fear of embarrassing myself by rolling off the back, ending up on my back while gym-goers around me look on with ...
I Was Hating Life Today
Today, the alarm clock did NOT go off but m body clock woke me up instead. I opened my eyes, stared at the curtained window in the dark while the clock time announced5:05 am...and I was not happy!
I was tired still and did not want to leave the warmth and comfort of my cozy bed at such a God-awful time of morning. So I contemplated rolling ...
