PLAYouts: Doing the sprinkler.

by

  To know me is to be aware---especially in the summer---we try really, really, really hard never to WORKout. EVER. Life is too short (and the summer, to my chagrin, too too fleeting) to allow exercise to be yet another arena where we have to toil.  Where we're forced to (fingerquote) work (unFQ). As a result, Ive chosen to morph the bulk of my fitness into fun. I've decided ... Continue Reading

Im oil pulling.

by

First, YOU PEOPLE ROCK. Im woman enough to admit Ive purchased coconut oil a few times.  And never used. I knew it would cure my dryass elbows struggle with dry patches of skin. I semi-recalled people wiser than I cooked and baked with it (yes Im looking at YOU oh SpaBettie and Pure2Raw twins). I was confident I needed it in my life.  And yet Id purchase, ignore, let expire, ... Continue Reading

My workouts.

by

Back on this post a few of you asked for specifics on my 20 minute workout.     It's also a question I get pretty frequently by email.  It seems you wanna know what, exactly, I do for my weights routine, how frequently I lift etc.  You crazy. The thing is, ala the We dont need no STINKIN' HOOK! post, it almost doesn't matter what *I* do. It's taken close to 43 ... Continue Reading

Monkey bar Monday.

by

    I cant remember where it came from (perhaps the movie City Slickers?), but somehow the child & I have made a running joke out of the notion of losing our smiles. One of us announces she's lost her smile (meaning she feels less than happy) and the other offers a smile to try on. Invariably the grin doesnt fit (lopsided, too big, too small, too grimace'y...you get the ... Continue Reading

Meal-in-a-mug challenge sponsored by Egg Beaters

by

Full story:  the rap in the video was merely a time filler while I waited for my mug-meal to cook.  it was made up on the spot & intended for the cutting room floor. Childish story: it made me giggle so I left it in. I do love me some levity.  And my EBWhites. Cook story:  I know you can get more creative than I with your meal in a mug. I challenge you.     This ... Continue Reading

3 steps to committing to your workout time.

by

Whatever your workout may be it takes COMMITMENT to git it done!   Im a morning tweeter blog reader facebook poster exerciser. We've flogged that poor dead horse already  & discussed why even though it works well for me it is NOT for everyone. (I also adored how one reader was moved to write a rebuttal. I love me some rebutting!) For me mornings are the perfect opportunity to ... Continue Reading

The marriage of mind & muscle**

by

  I lifted weights for almost six years before I opened my personal training studio. Yet, even with all those years behind me, I naively thought none of it had become second nature. I *always* spent time with clients discussing form, breathing, tempo, stretching etc. before we even hoisted a weight. I was aware of the importance of laying a solid foundation with my clients' ...

DA Active & MizFit’s cleavage.

by

If you could have been a fly on the wall during the photo-shoot above youd have heard a six year old voice asking: Whoa, Mama. Are you supposed to show that top stuff? While I responded with a loving, serious explanation/reminder of what we show & what we do *not* show in public (which confused her as I never wear just sports bra/bottoms to workout ...) on the inside I was ...

Who's still in the need of some Post-Holiday Detoxification? *raises hand* Join me? Im spending the next week focusing on small steps toward cleansing my body of residual latke sluggishness & mental slowness associated with too much trashtastic movie viewing. Detox around here doesnt equal cleanse. Ren Man & I are focusing on lessening (the processed junk, the ... Continue Reading
