My Great Inspirations

There are ways to make yourself feel better when you are feeling like you’re in a slump. I hate those times when you’ve been working out for a while and you start to feel less motivated. Either you’ve reached a plateau or you’re just sick of the gym: this time is supremely frustrating because you’re […]

30 Day Shred Challenge

  
On the recommendation of my friend, I tried Jillian Michaels’ (of The Biggest Loser) 30 Day Shred workout. It has three levels that go according to difficulty. Not including the warm up part, the whole thing lasts 20 minutes and is structured in 3-2-1. Three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute […]

She’s Got Legs. Not Quite Sure How to Use Them Yet

Last week I wasn’t able to jump-rope much because of well…life but I got back on track over the weekend. So far, I’m down two more pounds. That makes six overall in about four weeks. Nothing major , I’m just plugging away at it. The really cool thing is that my legs are starting to look so much […]

Summer Workout Gear

 
A big part of getting in shape is having the right equipment and gear. An unsupportive sports bra or shorts that keep riding up can ruin a workout. If you are doing any kind of serious running, you should replace your shoes every 300-550 miles. I have a good friend who is an avid runner […]

Inspirational Blog Resources for Fitness Tips

1. Fitness Black Book: I love this fitness blog, and it works so well for inspiration. I think that it’s important to remember that not all plus women are anti-buff and anti-thin. I love a good mix of plus models and fitness models, too, and the images on Fitness Black Book make me […]

Jump Rope Or Die

After going to the doctor about my insomnia I was feeling pretty discouraged over my ability to actually make that kind of change in my life. There is just no way I can get out to the gym or go running at the end of the day. By the time the kid’s in bed and […]

I might be doing the Self Challenge, but I could always be doing more! I want to find summer workouts that get me outside…here are some of the very best out there for the warm weather.

Earth Day Shape Up

Since today is Earth Day and we are now officially into Spring, I thought we should talk about some healthy ways to get fit in the great outdoors. I personally would rather run on a treadmill any day than outside (fewer people staring at my wobbly bits) but I think I need to change the way I […]

If You Can’t Stand the Heat

So I did it. You know the Bikram Yoga class that we talked about weeks ago. I finally went to my trial class and…it…SUCKED was really trying. First of all the room is somewhere between 103° and 105°. I’m not kidding. So I was feeling a little faint before we even started. I drink a […]
