Taught Pilates this evening and then ran to do tennis practice.  I haven't played tennis since April, so that was a shocker!  Boy have I missed it!  I need practice so badly and tomorrow morning I've been asked to sub a ladies tennis match so that should be...

This morning I focused on the upper body, and did 3 sets of 15 for each upper body part.  Felt good!  Tried to watch the eating today as the next 2 nights I have travel dinners.  Can't wait to start the Fast Metabolism Diet Monday!!

Started my day teaching a toning class.  Felt good.   I really need to do better eating wise, as I'm starting to eat haphardzly.  That never goes well.  Need to get a plan!  Next week I will go back on the Fast Metabolism Diet for a month.  I love how I feel when I...

This morning I did my own weight training workout, then trained a client. This evening, I taught Barre/Balletone.  Next to step, this is one of my favorite classes to teach.  I always get a really good workout with balletone, and feel like my whole body got a...

I took today to rest my body and rejuvenate my mind.  I always like to putter around in the kitchen on Sunday afternoons, and work on special recipes, and cooking.  I made homemade Butternut Squash soup today and it is delish!  Something about homemade soup in the...

I teach a small group training class every Saturday morning, and this morning I decided to do a resistance training workout with them.  It was tough and we used our own body weight for a good portion of class. Using your own bodyweight is a great way to build strength...

Managed to get a quick bike ride in for an hour or so today which was awesome.  The weather was perfect for a ride, and it felt really good to be out in the fresh air.  Also felt really strong on the bike today, and the wind resistance wasn't bad.  I love when I have...

Started out my day teaching Step and Sculpt.  This always helps to get my day off to a strong start.  Then at night I cap off a week of working out with a nice Pilates Stretch class.  Always a good end to my Thursday, as I mix relaxation with core strengthening.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I HATE RUNNING.  But I make myself do it at least once a week, because it is a huge challenge.  Take this morning:  I got up, knew I needed to run, and made myself run (kicking and screaming the whole time) even though I...

Boy I really didn't feel  like getting up this morning.  Having to teach a class is a good motivator, so up I went!  I felt good after class but some days I really need that extra push!  Being a personal trainer, I am great at motivating others, but I often need a...
