I’m a firm believer that you don’t need a gym membership to get fit. If it helps you to have the equipment available at a gym, plus a dedicated place to workout, then keep on keepin’ on. But I’m all about making use of your own body weight and just finding a small space to…
Get Low Circuit + My Favorite Things
It’s been awhile since I shared a workout on here. This may have something to do with me not working out consistently in quite awhile, but that’s beside the point… So I’m happy to be sharing a fresh new circuit workout as part of today’s list of favorites. I did this a couple days ago,…
Damage Control After Horrible Holiday Eating + Interval Bike Workout
Good morning! I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! We spent ours at a BBQ and saw some San Diego fireworks for the first time. (It was my third time here for the 4th, so I was determined to finally see some fireworks.) It was a gorgeous evening, and I’m now in recovery mode….
Adding Little Workouts Throughout the Day
While I consider my lifestyle somewhat active, I’m guilty of spending way too much time sitting, whether at work or at home. Sometimes it’s because I’m lazy; other times it’s because I’m trying to get work done. I’m pretty good about sticking to my workout schedule, but way too often those short workouts are the…
The Amazing & Incredible Crockpot Challenge
Workouts Wednesday: I did a 1 minute and 40 second plank, plus the following tabata workout, and it. was. awesome. I branched out and incorporated new exercises I’ve never done before. It made me thoroughly sore. I pulled several of the exercises from browsing through workouts on blondponytail.com, who is basically amazing. Love her workouts….

I’m oh-so-happy to enjoy a laid-back weekend and spend some…

So, I’ll be doing 30 pushups and possibly circuit workout. Warning: This post is going to be link-a-licious. Why? Because I’m excited and will get carried away….
A Few of My Favorite Things
Does anyone else uncontrollably yawn whenever they work out? It’s one thing to be tired, but I always catch myself yawning even though I’m breathing super hard. It’s a bit difficult…and probably a strange site. This happened to me last night while I was doing a tabata workout, so it was really hard to yawn…
The Pinterest Effect
The Weekend Guess what I spent all day Saturday doing… …building shelves! I pulled out my awesome sister/sister-in-law card and helped with some home improvement for my sis and bro-in-law’s new house. From 11am to 8pm, I was diligently painting and building. The combination of doing the dumbbell workout that morning plus working on shelves…
