Hack squat question
So, I tried to get a video of my hack squats this morning but I think the guy thought my phone was on camera instead of video because all I have is about ten 2 second clips. So . . . I have a few questions about hack squats and have some pictures of the videos (hopefully I can figure out a way to get a proper video for a…

I hated running
I remember when I was in JR high I decided to try out for track, I swam and played soccer from the age of 4 and figured I had my endurance and would be able to hold my own . . . I decided I was more of a field girl and loathed our mile warm up laps. When I was in college I had to run the Greek Week 5K with my sorority. I…

With the events over the past 36 hours combined with the normal need for blood and the cancellation of all those drives they will be launching a huge campaign over the next few days. Keep your ears peeled…

Zumba madam
What would be your first clue that there was something wrong with this picture? I was watching a TMZ clip yesterday and I have to say I agreed with the woman on it when she said something along the lines of: If my husband told me that he was going to Zumba without me, or didn't invite me to go along, well that would be my…

Core (or girdle) exercises
Okay, so I need some serious help. I don't generally just do any sort of core work. I teach group fit classes, so I do core for one song for that and whatever Awyn tells me to do in NROL4W. This Thursday I was asked to sub in for a core class, I have to fill 30 minutes with girdle work and have NO idea what to do. I'm…

How do you clip in a weave and blend it?!?!
Bought my first weave today, just a clip in. How the crap do I blend this thing? as you can see from my avi i am a hot mess I bought the hat figuring I wouldn't be able to hide the seams in the back very well (I was right) but it's not blending at all through the length. Maybe I should have just bought a full wig and cap.

Reedy Creek Park - University Area
If you haven't been, I highly suggest it. The green way is ah-mazing, there are several play grounds, a couple of ponds, a few ball fields, a cricket pitch, and frizbee golf. I had a great run there last weekend and I can't wait to go back for seconds.

how many kids would you invite
to a 3 year old's birthday party? There are 6 kids he talks about (one is iffy), the rest if you ask him who he played with he'll say "i can't remember his/her name." But, I feel bad only inviting these 6 kids when there are more kids in his class. However, the party is this saturday so the likelihood of anyone showing up…

Back in the saddle again
So after taking some time away from the program I'm back. I had decided to try SL as after 6 months I got bored with NR. Well, IMHO SL sucked. The whole point of SL is to increase your functional strength by leaps and bounds . . . I didn't increase ****. Well, I increased what I can lift 5 times in 5 moves, but not more…
