Chest Day and Treadmill with Core Exercises
21 October 07 02:37 PM | Trish | with no comments

Ahhhh…chest day. I think this is my least favorite body part to train mainly because I am so weak in this area and the exercises are just grueling. The only way I know to get past my stinking-thinking about chest day is to set a goal. My goal is to do...

Simple Three Group Chest Workout
21 October 07 02:31 PM | Trish | with no comments

Let me begin with saying the push up challenge is certainly working my chest and arms because my upper body is just raging from all of this work. Compound that with my near crippled legs from yesterday’s “how to fry your legs without any weights” workout...

Chest, Shoulders, and Legs…Oh MY!
21 October 07 02:22 PM | Trish | with no comments

The last three days have been interesting since I each workout has involved shoulders. I didn’t plan it that way but by the end of my chest workout (which involved a lot of bearcrawling and a lot of push ups) I noticed my shoulders felt like they were...

The Scale Drama
20 October 07 09:50 PM | Trish | with no comments

Do you ever wake up in the morning, run to the scale, weigh-in, and either do a joyful dance because you are at your “happy weight” or slump your shoulders and look for your fat clothes because you gained a pound? For women, the scale has a powerful control...

Inches…the True Measure of How Our Bodies Are Changing
20 October 07 10:46 PM | Trish | 1 comment(s)

I endlessly discuss how you cannot live by the scale. It is such an inaccurate way to see weightloss success. 1. It doesn’t tell you what type of weight you are losing. Plenty of people who burn, burn, burn on the cardio neglect to add in strength training...

Guess Who’s Back…Once Again
20 October 07 10:33 PM | Trish | with no comments
