Have You Tried This? Paddle Boarding

June 13, 2011

For the past few weeks we enjoyed some time at home in AZ. Amid all the family dinners, cousin time, and a few day trips with the kids, the Doc and I did find a few afternoons to sneak away and play. My brother has been wanting to take me paddle boarding for quite some [...]

Not Coordinated? Try Agility Training

May 19, 2011

Occasionally, I’ve taken on a new client who didn’t know what they had gotten themselves into. I’ll give them an exercise that looks a little “crazy”. They’ll just stand there with their hands on their hips, shake their head and say with a nervous laugh, “I’m just not that coordinated. I really don’t think I [...]

Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred

January 11, 2011

So, Jillian and I have finally been introduced. Surprisingly, I’ve never watched an entire episode of “Biggest Loser”. Since we have no television, that makes it kind of hard. I’ve watched clips here and there that family members have saved for me and I’ve gathered that Jillian can be mean. OK. Really mean. In [...]

Have You Tried This? Warrior Dash

January 4, 2011

So, last year our book club, like pretty much every other book club in the U.S. of A, read “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins. Yes, I enjoyed the series and unlike most gals I talked to, I thought the third book was great (I loved that arrow going up at the end…). But, hey, [...]

Have You Tried This? Trail Running

September 27, 2010

Way back when, a few months after having Baby #1 I was busting my too-large-rear-endo in an attempt to get back into shape. A friend (yep, it’s you Holly called and sweetly asked me if I’d like to come trail running with her. My heartbeat started beating a little faster. TRAIL RUNNING? How was I [...]

Have You Tried This? Body Pump

August 24, 2010

Now you know by now that I am a huge cheerleader of weight lifting. Old, young, athlete and couch potato alike all need to be lifting weights. Although I prefer to lift weights solo in a gym setting, I am very interested in programs that encourage women to pick up the weights and pump some [...]
