I fear I may never learn the art of moderation.  I seem wired to either behave in one extreme or the opposing other.  In other words, I have no concept of the middle. In my past, I struggled with addiction and all the fun stuff that entails–hopelessness, turmoil, shame…and obviously, no exercise.  But since February [...]

(These days there’s a fine line between NAPPING & YOGA for me…) A while ago I jetted off to LA to speak on a panel about branding, blogging, and making your passion your income. (I know. That last piece was an attention grabber for me, too.  I learned a TON while sitting on the panel [...]

…as per your request.   S.T.A.R.T: Start slowly and set yourself up for success. The biggest mistake I made was exercising full tilt right from the outset.  I ended up so sore it’s no surprise I quickly quit.  If I could give one piece of advice to every new exerciser it would be do less [...]

In an effort to keep comments & thoughts in one place I’m not going to add much more here except the fact it was a brow-furrowing encounter. It did, as the Tornado has taken to saying, blow my mind out. Have you confronted adult peer pressure?

As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I’ve managed to acquire a rather impressive collection of portable exercise equipment. Assorted dumbbells, various yoga blocks and straps, skipping ropes, stability balls, Bosu, ankle weights, elastic tubing and (my personal favorite), a TRX. Usually these objects reside in the trunk of my car, waiting to be [...]

(Which total only 5 because G-d forbid I do things the proper way.) Blogging, writing, editing, and (for the most part) vlogging are all pretty solitary acts. I adore what I do. I can get lonely doing what I do. (doo be doo be doo) That’s one of the reasons Im happy to be part [...]

Yesterday was cold and rainy in the ATX. Im not complaining. Given our lack of rain the past year it was a welcome change and the perfect day to not exit the domicile and get lot of work finished. Mid-day the doorbell rang (and rang and rang) and it was the UPS man. I figured [...]

(running tights + running shoes + sporty long sleeve = POSER misfit)   Once upon a time, in a land where it was hotter than a motherfucker something really hot, there lived a woman who loved the iron. A twenty year long torrid love affair kind of love.   And yet, on those nights when sleep [...]
