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 [...]
I tried to write this whole interaction as a traditional (if that word can be applied to the mishmash I call my blog) post. I wrote. I edited. I changed. I TRASHED. Each time I reread my writings I felt as though they didnt convey *strongly* enough how I felt (without massive overuse of bolding [...]
(This is the time I grab my coffee. It’s also *after* my morning meditation. Im a lark.) I haven’t always been a morning person (AKA slept like a toddler), but Ive certainly never been a night owl. I pulled no all-nighters in college (be it for studying or in other more liquid hedonistic pursuits) & [...]
(Which total only 5 because G-d forbid I do things the proper way.) Blogging, writing, editing, and (for the most part) vlogging are all pretty solitary acts. I adore what I do. I can get lonely doing what I do. (doo be doo be doo) That’s one of the reasons Im happy to be part [...]
(running tights + running shoes + sporty long sleeve = POSER misfit) Once upon a time, in a land where it was hotter than a motherfucker something really hot, there lived a woman who loved the iron. A twenty year long torrid love affair kind of love. And yet, on those nights when sleep [...]
The golden rule of vlogging (aka video blogging) is never to exceed two minutes. We’re all busy. We’re all skimming rushed. You lose your audience. That important message presented I give you some long ass vlogs Kelly Olexa and I filmed at Blog World. Indeed they’re (fingerquote) too long (unFQ), but despite the fact we’ve [...]
(If I rocked photoshop there would be a hilarious image HERE of us all hanging out) One of my favorite quotes is: Show me the friends and I’ll show you the woman. (no idea who said it & good ole Google proved no help. anyone know?) Ive found this true throughout my life. It was [...]
(my re-found love is now always ready & waiting by the front door) I frequently lament how I dont love the cardio. I do it (for my heart and for my daughter. Im a firm believer once we become parents we forfeit the option of losing our mojo). Yet everysinglesolitaryday theres a huge internal [...]
Ahhh people. Ive rambled ad nauseum about my struggles to find my new kindergarten-groove. Far less than feeling sad & alone & untethered without my sidekick Ive found the newly shortened days (bus pick up at 8a & hardstop to the work day at 330p) have caused more frazzle than floundering. As a result Ive [...]
One of our FAVE DAYS up in herre & one we celebrated with WILD (albeit early) abandon on Saturday. As a result, Im tweaking it a bit today. Just a tad (since this is a fitness blog & all) and asking you to exercise with your pirate before you run off and get all kinds [...]
