What a workout today. Caroline (the trainer and owner at Ambitious Fitness) really kicked my butt today. I think it was a combination of just having a blah day and the particular moves she picked but it really had me feeling exhausted. We started with an easy warm up consisting of rowing, dynamic stretching, and […]
10 Things to Look for When Joining a Gym
Today was the first day I finally used my new gym membership. I joined because it has just been too darn cold outside to run and have races to train for, Mother Nature! I ended up joining my old gym for a number of reasons and thought I would share my thoughts with you all. […]
Training Time!
Body Beast starts tomorrow. I tried it once before and didn’t complete the program. I really enjoyed the workouts. Sagi (the host) is pretty funny but laid back. Despite what it looks like from the ads, it is not a man’s man type workout. The people in the DVDs are actually pretty cool and I […]

Book Review: Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle
I received this book for free for the purpose of review. All opinions are my own. I was compensated in no other way. When I got the opportunity to get a copy of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto, I jumped at the chance! I loved the description of the book and […]
