19 December 07 07:51 PM | Corinne | 1 comment(s)

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...

How Do You Combat Eating Out Everyday At Work?
21 October 07 02:44 PM | Trish | with no comments

A client posed a problem to me that I think almost every person can relate to: eating out and the nutritional dangers it can pose. Everyday she eats out at work and finds it hard to say no to going or once there finds it hard to order “safe” foods. Here...

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...

Leg Strength…It’s a Good Thing
21 October 07 02:39 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my leg routine and a little cardio afterward for a cool down. Legs are one of those body parts that I feel you should work hard and if you work them hard enough you shouldn’t have a lot left over for cardio. Sometimes I will try to blow them...

Be PROUD of yourself!

I am proud of myself. I had a cold, a right hip that is just not up to running, and a left hamstring that is tight as a drum. A year ago I would have easily pushed through the pain of the hip, maybe throw a stretch or two in for the hamstring, and forget...

What’s Wrong With the Word Diet???
21 October 07 02:20 PM | Trish | with no comments

The word diet is almost as bad as dropping the “F-Bomb” these days. The lastest terms are lifestyle, nutritional plan, eating strategy…but who are we fooling? Whatever you call it, isn’t it really a diet? The word diet ’s primary definition is “food and...
