Jamie King : Rock Your Body DVD

I bought this Jamie King : Rock Your Body DVD late last year and I’ve completely forgot to write a review so here it is. If you’re not a dancer, this workout will be VERY hard for you. I consider myself a good dancer but even I had a difficult time following the routine. […]

If You Want My Body and You Think I’m Sweaty

Shoot me, shoot me now. I would do it myself but I’m too tired and my arms hurt. Kidding…mostly. This has been a rough week for sticking to the challenge. I didn’t even finish my 20 minutes yesterday. Like seriously, it’s ONLY 20 MINUTES. Exactly how lame does that make me? I often feel like […]

Stroller Strides

So how’s everyone (all what, 4 of us) doing with the 30 Day Shred Challenge? I have soooo not wanted to do it this week as I have been having my lady time, you know my lady time. They say that exercise is good for you during these times but I just couldn’t summon the […]

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.

30 Day Shred Challenge

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 […]
