Beginner Treadmill Workout (with a detour)

Date November 18, 2008

Most of you know my workout history, right? I mention it on my Workout Progress page (which I’m not updating as much as I should). It’s a very summarized version of my personal workout history but if you look at a stream of old posts since starting this blog you’ll get a pretty good picture [...]

Wacky Wednesday Workout Day

Date September 17, 2008

Call me crazy. Go ahead, but man I feel great! Two boot camps, a weight training session and I climbed the wall, twice (once alone and then again after the toddler asked if he could watch.)
The real wacky part of this…

Do you Workout on Vacation?

Date August 14, 2008

For some of us that concept may seem like an oxymoron. At least it did for me for YEARS! Working out is work so NO I don’t workout on vacation. Right?

My Favorite Bootcamp Workout (so far)

Date August 2, 2008

I think I mentioned this last week, but I’ll say it again, my new favorite gym workout is BOOTCAMP! Seriously, it’s fun. We do a variety of activities, it’s different every class and the girls there are so nice.
So far out of of all the things we’ve done (I’ve only been to three [...]

Killer Ab Workout

Date April 17, 2008

Tonight (after mustering enough energy to get out of the door) I hit a cardio kickboxing class.  The instructor always ends with 15 minutes of ab work and tonight she did such a simple effective routine I have to share. I still feel like I have a rock in the pit [...]

Aren’t You Worth It?

Date November 11, 2007

It’s Sunday isn’t it?  That’s right, a Sensation Sunday!
I finally dragged my butt to a meeting. My schedule has been pretty tight the last few weeks and the meeting times weren’t jiving with my schedule.  But that’s no excuse.  I need to go.  I like to go.  So I’m making [...]

The Making of a Gym Rat

Date September 18, 2007

I thought I would take some time to write about my newfound hobby, working out.
I can’t stress enough how much I loathed working out in the past. I mean it, really, I hated it. Nothing gave me less pleasure them exercise. Nothing. Of course, I went through [...]

Little Miss Sunshine

Date August 9, 2007

Have you seen it? If not, I highly recommend renting it. It’s a feel good movie with some great laughs. The story follows a dysfunctional family as they take there daughter to compete in the Little Miss Sunshine contest. I’m watching it right now with tears streaming down my face [...]

Writers Block?

Date August 8, 2007

Hmpf, this is the 3rd night in a row I have writers block. I have a ton of stuff I want to share with you guys but when I actually sit down to type it up my brain goes blank. Yesterday I didn’t even post, well except for the food ideas. [...]

Not Much to Say

Date August 6, 2007

Did you ever think you would read that on my blog? Actually, I have a ton to say (of course) I’m just too lazy tonight so here’s the quick skinny….

I went to the gym again today. I am REALLY loving this. 20 minutes on the treadmill, 10 [...]

Weekends, Weddings and Workouts

Date August 5, 2007

I’m home from my last summer weekend outing. THANK GOD! Ugh! My friends know I love to keep busy and I love being “out and about” but seriously, this summer was ridiculous! Looking back, I don’t think I was home for more then a week in a row before I was [...]

Gym Shmym, Who Needs ‘Em?

Date July 8, 2007

This weekend has been tough. Home alone with the two toddlers, no husband and no sitter opportunities. What is one to do?
Workout!
That’s right I did 2, count them 2, toddler approved workouts. Yesterday I fired up the old iPod with James Brown’s All-Time Greatest Hits! [...]

My First Book Review!

Date April 26, 2007

A few weeks ago, a Publicist contacted me and asked if I would review a book to include on my site. First, this FLOORED me! Who am I to review a book? Especially considering I’m not the workout queen and the book is about exercise routines.
I used it [...]

The Workout Question

The most frequently asked questions I receive relate to workouts and exercise.

Did you exercise at all to lose weight, or did you do weight watchers alone?
How many days a week do you get in a “workout”?
What is your workout routine?

I always answer [...]
