22 April 08 05:27 AM | Corinne | with no comments

Today we're going to talk about cardio and the biggest mistake I see make with it: doing the same thing over and over again yielding little to no results. Changing up cardio is just as important as switching your foods around and attacking your muscles...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...
