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...

Wooooo…today was shoulders and it was good. I did the routine with my trainer and he gave me some great tips for form that I will definitely be including in my Exercise Directory I give all of my clients. Bill is really smart when it comes to correct...

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
21 October 07 02:28 PM | Trish | with no comments

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...

Saturday and Sunday Combo
21 October 07 02:27 PM | Trish | with no comments

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...

I am almost at one week of splitting cardio and weights into two different sessions and I like it a lot. The first part of the week I was doing the cardio in the afternoon and starting yesterday I switched to doing cardio at 6:00 a.m. and weights at 9...

Arms and HIIT…Thanks Trish
21 October 07 02:23 PM | Trish | with no comments

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...

Vegas Vacation…Friday
21 October 07 02:21 PM | Trish | with no comments

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
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...

Scheduling Your Healthy Life
20 October 07 10:44 PM | Trish | with no comments

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...

What keeps you motivated has to be in the top five questions I am asked by my clients and readers. Motivation is such an individual thing; what works for one doesn’t always work for another. I decided to list some of the things I found helpful along my...
