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 ...

Happy December 31st

As we close out the year 2012 I have to admit - I do not look forward to crowded gyms full of people on the fitness bandwagon.  I do have to admit - I must get over my selfish ways because while I hate jockying for equipment and machines, I am very glad to see people taking an interest in their health and well-being.  Even if it is just for a ...

Woman vs. Machine #Workout

Now this is the kind of routine I like.  I did this with Heather (if you didn't know already she is my personal trainer).  Anywho, this workout kept me moving around from machine to machine in a circuit fashion, the weight varied and the constant movement kept it interesting.  Can you tell I felt good on Friday? You will need the following ...

Stay Young #Workout

I did this workout with my trainer on Friday.  I swear the platform was for elephants!  Super HIGH for my short legs.  She didn't care - she made me do those step ups regardless.  Please leave a comment if you complete this workout! Equipment Needed: Water Towel Positive attitude Platform Dumbbells Exercise Reps Weight ...

Fabulous Fitale Workout

Thursdays are my group workout days with my trainer.  Now there are a couple of things about Thursday workouts. #1 Our workouts start at 5:30 am!  UGH I have to get up earlier. #2 I am usually still sore from my workout on Tuesday! With all of that said - 30 grueling minutes later is normally met with my sweaty face, exhausted pant and ...

Fireworks Workout

Last year I worked out with my trainer first thing in the morning.  It helped keep me motivated and not feel guilty when I hung out and ate at the cookout before the fireworks!  Keep pushing and don't let up. Equipment Needed: Hand weights Step bench Gliders Print Workout Here:   Exercise Reps Weight 1. Walking lunges 12 25 2. ...

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 ...

The Early Bird

There is an old cliche - the early bird catches the worm and you know - when it comes to working out, that's me.  See I am an early riser and someone who has the most of her energy in the morning hours vs. the afternoon or evening timeframe.  I wake up bursting...and ready to do something.  That is why an early morning run is the best for ...
