Periodic Exercise?
Periodic exercise is the only way I can describe what I'm talking about. I was wondering. I have 2 kids at the house and hubby is working. I was wondering if I can manage to do 5 minutes of sit ups here, 2 minutes of pushups there, a minute or 2 or lunges here and there, if it would be feasable for me to total it all up at…

P90X, anyone?
I should be getting it sometime next week. Any pointers or things I should know that will assist me in getting the most out of it? I am excited. Nervous, but excited. Also, for the ladies, on the Fit Test you have to take before, how many pull ups could you do? I fear I will not be able to do any... Thanks in advance!

Wii Shape Up
Anyone have this? I bought it yesterday and realized last night that it can actually be a good work out. Since I am so busy I can fit in my little 15 minutes work outs here and there. I think I am going to try and master this one. I was honestly amazed at what kind of work out it can give you. It tells you what you are…

Cold weather runners
As the weather gets colder (28F this morning) I wonder if there are many people who continue to run outside in the winter. I am currently doing c25k and want to continue. I read an article in Alaska magazine last winter about a running group there who run when it is -20F and colder! I won't be running on a treadmill as the…

C25K check, now what?
I am on the last week of C25K (basically I can run about three miles/three times a week). I am trying to figure out a new system to keep me motivated.

30 day shred: day 1 is MINE!
I heard so many good things about 30 day shred and I'm tired of not being able to fit in gym time, so tonight I downloaded myself a copy and just finished my first workout!

Reducing body fat % - HELP!
I've heard that as you approach your goal weight, if you want to reduce your overall body fat % and tone up (which I do), the emphasis needs to be on strength training. I've also heard that in order to reduce body fat % you need to actually burn fat as well as strength training by cutting calories. But, ON TOP of that I've…

Was getting a little obsessive…
I’ve mentioned that I’m a recovering food addict. I’m ALSO a recovering ‘over-exerciser-under-eater’. Frequently these two devils (the ‘Permitter’ and the ‘Restrictor’) reside in the same individual. I am not unique in this regard. My ‘Restrictor’ rears her ugly head in many ways, but most recently I noticed that my…
