Down 5"?! My first success story!
My 6th personal training session was last night... In my 1st ever training session, my trainer got me to do a 10min kickboxing "warm up"...when I was finished, I nearly fainted! Last night I spent the entire 45 min session doing kickboxing non-stop! (I did have a couple of super-quick water breaks but that's it!) My…

How do you maintain focus?!
I realized last night how much your mind really has control over your body. I was running at the gym last night (not a great runner here!)- ran 8 minutes with no huge problems, and then had to run a straight 8 minutes again. (Doing the C25K) All of the sudden in the middle of my second round, I lost focus - started feeling…

These darn hips of mine..
Sooo I purchased a sample size wedding dress (yay for discounts!) that's about 1 size smaller on top and 2 sizes smaller on the bottom for me. I know you can't really "spot reduce", but do any of you have good tips (that you have used and have worked) on tightening and reducing the glute area?? I love my squats and have…
