10 Sessions 5 weeks to kick start your workout

I'm starting a new Group Intensive that involves workouts 2 times/week for 5 weeks.  In every session you will workout your core muscles which includes not just all of your abdominal muscles but also your quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteal muscles.   You will also workout your upper body: deltoids, biceps. triceps and pectoral muscles.  As you progress through each workout, I will make each workout a little more challenging every session.  The great part is this is a group session.  You will not be alone! You'll workout with others who will be with you every step of the way.  So, if you're looking for a new challenging workout for your routine and would like to workout outside, then sign up for my Group Intensive.  I'm shooting for a Wednesday & Friday schedule at 9:15am.  Email me and I will give you more info.  Hope you can make it.

If you've never tried one of my group workouts, come out this week. Remember, your first group session with me is free to try out.

Have a great week and hope to see you soon.

100 Distractions vs 1 Workout/Day

Somehow I managed to do laundry, check a few emails, respond to texts, add to my list of to dos, tidy up the kitchen and fold towels before finally going on my run today.  I know... every time I step into my house I do a fantastic job of finding all of the things I think I need to do before I step back out of the house.  The trick though is to make sure that amidst all of the various distractions around you (usually my children, but given they were all in school when I multi-tasked, I can't blame them this time) and make sure you get out for some physical activity at least 1 time per day.   Walk instead of drive.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator, just make sure you move.  Don't let the 100+ distractions win versus getting your workout in.  ;-)

Have a great week and hope you can join me for a workout soon!

5 Week Intensive:

Starting on Wednesday, September 5th...

...I'm going to see if I can successfully get at least 1 hour of exercise every day for the next 30 days.  With travel schedules, injuries, the kids out for summer and a number of other distractions, getting my normal workouts has been a bit of a struggle.  So, kinda of like the sugar free month, I'm going to make this the exercise challenge month.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to run a marathon every day or go to the gym and do free weights every day.  But I am going to get my 3 runs/week in.  I'm going to make the spin class.  I'm going to schedule the pilates session and I'm going to put the kids in my gym's kids club to make it to my favorite Yoga class.  And on the weekends when I have my rest day, I'm going to turn it into a sand run with my kids or a long bike ride with the family.  With the proper balance of cardio and muscle conditioning activities and with pacing, this can happen (and without injury).  Would you like to do this too?  Let me know.  Email me or post your comments to my blog.   Let's see just how far we get in 30 days from now.

Have a FANTASTIC week.  Hope to see you soon for a workout.
