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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
(…because what’s more personal than a pic of me wearing an adult onesie?) The past few holidayweeks Ive received more emails asking about my personal life…my day-to-day…than about my workout routine.

Medicine. Tweezers. Ointments. Ice pack thingies. Heat packs. Surgical tape. You name the medical crap & I had it [...]
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 [...]
(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 [...]
Some viewing for you whilst you HYDRATE: And the obligatory five second outtake: **this is not a sponsored post. this post was unplanned until the child & I decided to rip into/Sharpie-UP a 6 pack of tees we found in a closet. the filming of (one of) the results was all the Tornado’s [...]
(with apologies to the amazing Albert Ellis) My MUSTS these days? I must take new group exercise classes so I can yammer about my likes and dislikes here on the blog. I must get to the Tornado’s school and volunteer once a week. I must try a new vegetable each week so that Im role [...]
