Heron, maybe you've stumbled across the next workout trend...doggie leash training! :) Hope it's going well with your new foster. Will you post a photo of her or him? Kris, yes I'm doing better with practicing self-compassion every day. I've found when I treat myself compassionately, I'm able to be more present in the…

Hi everyone! Happy belated Veteran's Day HJ and all Vets in our group. Thank you for your service. Every time I'm in nature surrounded by mountains with tree-lined trails, I think of your service and what you sacrificed for us to be able to roam around free in our beautiful country. My Dad and Sister are Navy Vets. My Dad…

Heron I love the idea of mixing up different types and lengths of fitnessblender workouts for a month. I think I can fit in some of the short workouts, will you be posting links here? I'm back into long hikes now that it's finally cooled down a bit here in San Diego. One of the things I love most in life is being in the…

Jen, I love that you threw your challenge up here. Awesomeness! I'll be checking to see what you think of your new Pilates class :)

Congratulations Jen and everyone on your well-earned headbands!! I hope to join your team one of these races!

Exilis is an FDA approved medical device that dermatologists have in their office. Some plastic surgeons run med-spas as an adjunct to their surgical practice, so med-spas usually have the device. You go in and see either the MD or Nurse Practitioner who evaluates you and completes a treatment plan (this is usually…

Hi HJ! Greg looks like a highly functional athlete. He's genetically gifted in the deltoid department, lucky guy. Sounds like he's wondering what he can do short of a skin lift for lax abdominal skin from having so much muscle on in the past from lifting. Anything he can do to increase collagen will help. Most of the…

That's so good Heron. I went to a spin class recently and while we were recovering from a killer hill climb, the instructor said that the reason she got certified to teach spin is because she wanted her legs to look like her spin instructor's legs. I accept that everyone's source of motivation is different and uniquely…

Kris - glad to hear the weight training was good :) Billy Idol'd be good reallly loud for weightlifting! Heron - Thanks for welcoming me! It's fantastic you're fitting into your smaller clothes again! Speaking of clothes, your dress in your profile pic is just beautiful on you. Carol - Yes I'm lucky to have a weekly…

Right back atcha HJ! What's your morning 150?

Kris, I remember you saying you like to crab crawl...I'm sure you'd be a great addition to the group on the trails if you come around to joining them. I feel awkward the first time I work out with new people...especially guys. My Mom was herself and brought me up to be proper and ladylike. She never worked out, so I think…

Kris, I finished my first obstacle course today!! The course is set up every Saturday by my instructors and students in a personal training certification program at a community college. I just started the program and get extra credit for it. It's a training course for Spartan races and such. Like you said, and you weren't…

Happy Thursday everyone! Carol, Hammer Jammer, Kris, Howie...thank you for sharing your experience with the emotional aspect of injury as it applies to training, it's invaluable to me. Kris, something just switched in me when you said you didn't ever imagine you'd be a runner and that getting out on trails opened that up,…

Awe thanks Carol for the warm welcome, you're so sweet! I can't wait to hear that podcast when you're done editing it!

Hi Carol, thank you for sharing your experience. That's so great that you got in a CrossFit workout yesterday after a hiatus!! I agree it's not worth it to push through something when you know you're in injury territory. I'll remind myself of this when I'm all high on endorphins and about to do something stupid ;)

DebSue, I like your idea to vary your music for each workout, that sounds fun! I just started a personal training certificate program at my local community college. My usual exercise routine is long hikes with 1000+ elevation gains, 5 mile fast walks, and a little tabata on a spin bike with some weightlifting mixed in. I…

Thanks! Happy Saturday

Hi everyone, I'm Amy from San Diego, CA. I found out about the Fat2Fit podcast from a random iTunes search for fitness podcasts. I've been catching up on your podcasts and love them so much I hope I don't get caught up anytime soon! :smile: I'm a nurse, and this week I started a Personal Trainer certificate program at my…
