Finished C25K, what next?
Quick Question: Now that I've finished the original app, however not ~ or sub 30 min ( 8.6 km/h for 36 min) should I be working at increasing speed through various training methods within that distance until I am faster first or should I go straight into a program like C210k and work and distance and endurance? Little more…

Recommendation on gloves
I do not use any type of glove for free weights, and I do not plan to but I recently started a Kettlebell program and I definitely have some wear and tear happening on my palms. I do not think it is my grip or the weight itself (15 lbs and 30 lbs) but the friction of the bar changing position in my hands. Does anyone have…

2 years, a giant set back and finally done Body Revolution!
I was quite hesitant to post a success story since I still see it as having so far to go still to where I want to be, and on top of that I plan on still working hard one all my goals are met, but I figured if my story so far can help anyone else on their way it's worth it.

Easy, impossible to screw up and the ingredients leave you feeling awesome. I double the recipe for everyone but for one meal to FILL up this is what I would do 3 cups…

Saying NO to the snack
Usually I'm extremely good with not snacking on unhealthy things late at night, unless it was planned into the daily allowance (a night without the kids for a couple drinks at a pool hall or something like that).

Feet, ankles and knees, what to shoes to wear???
I already have bad knees and those have given me grief over the years, but good form and a good pair of walking SANDALS if you can believe it, have given me new life when it comes to being out and about and getting my cardio that way. My problem is higher impact workouts indoors. I'm lovin me some zumba, JM 30 day shred,…

NOT a stress eater
I am quite the oposite actually. If I have a rough day, if the kids are driving me up the wall, or we're just super busy with life I seriously forget to eat, even worse when I do, I simply am not hungry enough to come anywhere close to my intake guidelines. When this happen's I also get extremely picky about what I eat,…
