Running for gym, track & treadmill haters (guest post)

by

Let’s face it: gyms are stinky, tracks are so boring you’re lucky to make it around ten times before falling asleep, and treadmills are just ridiculous. Who wants to run on a conveyor belt? Most of us humans are under the impression that we’re not pieces of luggage, so treadmills are out of the question. So what’s a runner to do? Many of us are trapped in cities or suburban areas where gyms and ... Continue Reading

Jared responds!(Subway Commit to Fit Giveaway)

Many thanks to Jared for taking the time out of his hectic life & running schedule to answer two of our questions. Are you enjoying the marathon training itself?

Personal Training with Jackie Warner (giveaway)

by

As I have rhymingly yammered above—I love me some Jackie Warner. Yes, I agree that her first tv show kinda plummeted in the final season (Im more about the dumbbells than the drama) but I adored how she cared about & unflaggingly encouraged/supported her clients. Her style reminded me so much of how I trained people when I owned my studio (I KNOW! Please to file under prideful & ... Continue Reading

Wordless Wednesday (*Zensah style*)
