So…here’s the finale of our family holiday competition. The requirements were 30 min.’s of exercise plus 80 oz.’s of water every day. The ending is not nearly as suspenseful as “Biggest Loser” but it was still fun. Because we had a 6-way tie we ended it in a drawing. It’s amazing the motivation that a […]

I’m coming to the obvious conclusion that fitness and health is all about motivation. After all who likes to exercise alone, try to eat healthy alone, stay motivated alone — it’s really hard….if not impossible for some. Add to that the holidays when everyone pigs out, sleeps in (and pushes off fitness to some vague […]

As I head into the holidays I’m really excited since this is one of my favorite times of year — Thanksgiving, fall colors, cool weather, friends, family, Christ’s birth, cozy evenings……BUT there are also huge meals, irresistible snacks, sleeping in, crazy schedules….All of these are great but can easily be a major “bump in the road” for […]

Being motivated is such an important part of being healthy and fit. Motivation is what makes you really want to do something and sacrifice for it. I want to say today that I am thankful for my husband who is so motivating to me. He is so dedicated to exercise and looking good for me. […]

Below is a video by my chiropractor, Dr. Geoff Abrams, on how to make an awesome protein shake. Protein is one of the most important things in your diet that will boost the effectiveness of your workout results. Btw, if you need a chiropractor — he and his wife are the best!

So proud of the two ladies, RACHEL & ANGIE, that met the challenge and won the prize for doing at least 6 workouts over the last 2 weeks. Great job!! I want to encourage the rest of you to keep up the good work. Doing your workout at least 3 times per week is key to seeing results. […]

So we have 1 winner already for the challenge and now we need another. Let me know as soon as you have completed 6 or more of the workouts and you’ll be winner #2.  Let the challenge continue.

I have challenged the ladies in the class to do any combination of  Workouts 1,2, or 3 at least 6x before we meet again on Oct. 9th. The first 2 poeple to let me know they have completed it will get what I consider the best ever protein/energy/health bar.

So here’s Workout #3 (still need you to come up with a better name!). This workout is tough, but in a different way then the previous two workouts. It consists of six circuits that are focussed on controlled and intense muscle movements.  I’ve introduced some new exercises so I’ll be updating my blog soon with […]
