I’m Home from Phat Camp
21 October 07 02:52 PM | Trish | with no comments

Wow, that was an amazing experience. If you ever get a chance to go you should. Talk about a motivating weekend filled with lots of butt busting workouts (one motto is: pop-squat your a** off! and they mean it), and diet information. I learned so much...

Hello Arms!
21 October 07 02:47 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my arms workout and it went good. My left arm is still so weak since my December Ulnar Nerve injury. Anyway, when I was doing my curls today I had to use 5lbs on the left arm. I guess that nerve must effect the bicep firing mechanism. Anyway...

Legs in the Morning and Cardio in the Evening
21 October 07 02:45 PM | Trish | with no comments

I haven’t done this in awhile, but I split my routine today because I woke up at the crack of dawn and couldn’t go back to sleep. All I had time to do was knock one or the other out and since my weights routines are so intense I decided I should do it...

Sunday and It’s a New Week
21 October 07 02:42 PM | Trish | with no comments

The definition is starting to pop on my upper body. Legs are looking better, but with my loose skin they may always be a mess. I’m very happy with my upper body though. Looks like the new training and eating is really working. I took off yesterday. Business...

Listen to Your Body When You Diet and Exercise
21 October 07 02:41 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I woke up sort of sore and just feeling a little sluggish. After coffee and breakfast I decided I had too much to do today to try and force a huge leg workout and cardio session that would likely leave me washed out for the rest of the day. Using...

Tuesday - Awesome Arm Workout
21 October 07 02:41 PM | Trish | with no comments

For all of us ladies who carry our weight in our lower half, working your upper body can be a great way to “reshape your body.” Although you can’t spot reduce, you can build out the areas of your body that are naturally leaner so that the eye is drawn...

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...

She’s Got Legs!
21 October 07 02:32 PM | Trish | with no comments

What is the one body part almost every woman wants to improve or shape up? Legs. Legs are the largest muscle group and provide a taxing workout when you do it right. There is nothing like a series of squats and lunges to send your heart rate skyrocketing...

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...

Working Out ALL DAY…or so it seems

Today is one of those days where I’m so busy with work and life that I am squeezing it all in when I can. Many of us forget that a workout doesn’t have to be XXX amount of time at X o’clock. It can be thrown at your body all day in shorter bouts with...

Busy, busy, busy. That’s the best way to describe things these days. Getting in the workouts takes creativity, scheduling, and flexibility. Eating right takes discipline and preparation. That’s what life is about, though, learning how to do all that you...

If I am sick, should I skip my workouts?
21 October 07 02:24 PM | Trish | with no comments

This is a question I hear often and one that I had to answer for myself this morning. Last night I had a sore throat and general ill feeling. You know, nasty taste in the mouth, tired, achy, sore throat; just not feeling well. The decision to carry on...

A client emailed me a HIIT routine she wanted to try out and I asked her to allow me to do it first to see how intense it was. She found a good one! I made a couple of modifications to fit my level of running (or lack of) and switched out the strength...

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...

Do you struggle with exercising while on vacation? Many times a good fitness routine and healthy eating habits are thrown out the window the second vacation or travel begins. It doesn’t have to be that way. Throughout my nine day stay in Vegas I am going...

Rarely will you ever do anything harder in your life than try to lose weight. Alcoholics can stop drinking, smokers can stop smoking, but when you have to lose weight you can’t just stop eating. The temptation is all around you. It’s the one “addiction...

The Scale Drama

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...

Scheduling Your Healthy Life

Being fit and healthy can be a daunting task. One method I have incorporated into my lifestyle that Weight Watchers taught me was to plan my eating and exercising just like I would plan my workday. At the beginning of each week, I plan my weekly workout...

Undereating To Lose Weight?
16 October 07 04:32 PM | Trish | 2 comment(s)

When I grew up I remember going on diet after diet trying to lose weight. That was back in the day (late 80’s to early 90’s) where you tried to eat as lowfat as possible, filling up on sugary, fat free food items, avoiding eggs like the plague, and Lord...
