No Excuses #Workout
Sometimes you have to be flexible and that is just what I was this morning. My trainer needed to move my time so I met her bright and early at 5:00 am today. Well it actually wasn't that bright - it was PITCH BLACK but I showed up rearing to go. I got there before they even unlocked the doors. Below is the workout of the day. No excuses ...
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 ...
Fitness Sisterhood
Many people enjoy working out alone. It gives them time to concentrate on their mind/muscle connection and it is their "me" time. They work out solo in the weight room or running inside or outside. I don't fault them because if you get the "wrong" workout buddy it can be more harmful and beneficial and our work out time is precious so who ...
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 ...
Too Close #Workout
I may not mind being too close given how cold it is out here on the East Coast but nonetheless I trekked my behind out to the gym in the cold dark night to get it in with trainer extraordinaire Heather Brooke Malone Wolf (phew that is a mouthful). Anywho this is the latest we did and let me just say she did not take it easy on me! I was ...
YOLO #Workout
Life is short and You Only Live Once so make it count! I am one who wants to sleep in when I realize the morning is dark and very cold but I still figure out how to get my butt up and get a work out in because hey.....tomorrow is not promised and consistency is key. So in between working out at my boot camp I see my personal trainer and ...

Go Hard Or Go Home #Workout
Started back with my training and went to see my personal trainer this past Friday. She put it on me but hey I deserved it. I didn't do much while on break in the way of workouts. Last week I was walking funny - today I am just plain SORE! A good sore though so I can't complain. This workout appears to not have as many exercises ...

Pour It Up #Workout
I woke up this morning dreading going to the gym. I was tired, it was dark and cold and I had not worked out in a week - GASP! Gotta keep it real - sometimes when we go on vacation we just do not feel like doing anything other than chilling and hanging out. Today I found motivation from somewhere or maybe it was the fact I committed ...
You Can’t Handle The Truth #Workout
If I haven't told you this is my second session going to both boot camp and my personal trainer so I still consider myself in Beast Mode up to the holidays. Boot camp ends December 20, 2012! He is not taking it easy on us so it is because of that I am hopeful my trainer WILL! No such luck.
I dragged myself to the gym yesterday and was ...
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 ...
Bust A Move #Workout
You know what it feels like to be in beast mode? IT SUCKS! Yeah I said it. It is uncomfortable, it hurts, it stretches you and you always feels rushed and pushed! BUT...when you look up and take notice......even if you don't...others take notice that helps you take notice. You realize the thighs are stronger and leaner, the abs are 2 ...
Peeking Around Corners!
I was at work the other day walking to the rest room when a young gentleman peeks his head from around the corner calling my name. "Diatta, I don't want to hold you up from going to the restroom but I brought some fresh Italian cookies for my department's potluck today you know you want one". I was tempted and pleasantly surprised especi...
