The Fitness Blog Week in Review for September 9 – 14

What a week it’s been here. I’ve spent four days substituting, I’ve been catching up on life, the universe and everything after my dental surgery last month and I feel great. I’m getting my workout back to something resembling normal and it’s only a few weeks until the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Last week, I asked and you answered and this week, we did our best to tackle those answers. Don’t worry if you didn’t see your question answered, we’ve got more coming next week!

One week into July and in some parts of the country, the temperatures are scorchers and down here in Texas, we’re breaking rainfall records and wondering what happened to our sun.

Make Your Own Fun

Posted on by

We talked about making fitness your own personal choice. Now let’s talk about making it your own personal fun. Because let’s be honest, no matter how much you may need to exercise and no matter how much you may tell yourself this is what you need to do – unless it’s fun, exercise can be a tedious, less than inspiring process. Who wants to do something tedious every day? I Hate To Do Dishes For most of my life, the household chore I have despised the most is doing dishes. It doesn’t matter that we own a dishwasher. It doesn’t … Continue reading →

The Fitness Blog Week in Review June 17 – June 22

Happy Saturday and here’s hoping you’re having a great weekend. I still think this week went by too fast. The migraine I had this week likely contributed to that feeling. Losing a couple of days to just being in pain is never a lot of fun. We’re halfway through the year and summer officially began this week (though it’s been pretty warm this summer). In the meanwhile, let’s do a quick run down of our week in review: Sunday, June 17 We continue looking at what you can do to improve your health in More Computer Fitness Tips especially when … Continue reading →

Unfortunately, I haven’t been very successful. Let’s take a good look at the week in review before I take a day of ease on Saturday. Saturday, June 9 Hot summer days are not always conducive to outdoor exercise. When temperatures cruise upwards of 95 degrees, it may be time to investigate Indoor Workouts. Sunday, June 10 Does School-Based Fitness Fade Over the Summer? There is some speculation … Continue reading →

Friday Fitness Funnies: Things You Don’t Want to Hear

Posted on by

It’s Friday and I have been having discussions lately with moms who work out at fitness clubs, moms who work out chasing their kids and still other moms who work out at home or through regular walking and running through the neighborhood. While all of these moms have different ways of achieving their fitness goals and likely even have different fitness goals, they are united in some ways. When it comes to fitness and exercising, there a lot of things we don’t want to hear. Some of those things include: You need to really sweat You need to work harder … Continue reading →
