3/11 Workout: Biceps, Triceps & Cardio

March 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment

For some reason my triceps were really sore today. I must have used them more than I thought yesterday during my ab workout. Whoooops! I still did pretty well even though they were so sore – I raised the weight 5 pounds and still did 12 reps (last week I did 15 reps with less weight). The ab workout I did yesterday must’ve done some good because it hurts to move my entire abdomen today. It got worse as the day went on. It’s been quite a few weeks since I did any ab stuff, so I was expecting it. I’ll start doing an ab workout at least once a week again. Biceps Workout Preacher... [Read the full story]

Is Your Body Bikini-Ready?

March 8, 2010 · 1 Comment

Spring is right around the corner now and Summer will be here before you know it! During the cooler months of the year, your body has been covered up with warm clothing. Removing those layers now might just reveal a body that isn’t quite worthy of that new swimsuit you’ve been eyeballing. Now isn’t the time to fret though, simply analyze and think about which parts of your body need help and get to work. If you’ve been working your ass off all winter and there still seems to be some flab that’s interested in sticking around forever, try some exercises that will tone... [Read the full story]

I Finally Made the Switch to Skim Milk – Here’s Why

February 5, 2010 · 2 Comments

I honestly don’t know what in the world took me so long. Growing up, I was always drinking 1% or 2% milk. As I began learning about nutrition, I vowed to only drink 1% milk, which I have done for the last 3 years. Eventually I did want to make the switch to Skim milk but I always afraid to. I was used to the milk with fat in it and I assumed that Skim milk would seem too watery. Well…on my last trip to the grocery store I reached for the [Read the full story] Read More →

The 3 Biggest Things That Motivate Me to Keep Working Out

December 4, 2009 · 3 Comments

I think the biggest reason people don’t stay on track with exercise is because they just aren’t motivated enough. There has to be something that motivates you to workout. These “somethings” will vary from person to person, but there has to be at least 1 thing that can help to keep you on track. The biggest tip I can give about how to keep working out is to give it at least 30 days. Once you’ve been doing something for 30 days it tends to become habit and you won’t even have to think about it, you’ll just do it. Also, never think of exercise as a chore.... [Read the full story]

Review: Optimum Platinum Hydrowhey (Vanilla)

January 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment

In my last order from Bodybuilding.com I received a free sample of Optimum Platinum Hydrowhey. I was so excited because I’ve wanted to try this ever since it came out, but I’m always afraid to buy things in case I don’t like the way they taste. If I don’t like the taste, I’ll never get my money’s worth, because it’ll simply sit in my cupboards. I received the vanilla flavor and I can honestly say it’s the best whey protein powder or product that I’ve ever tried. You can either mix the protein powder with water or milk (or whatever else you like)... [Read the full story]

3 Weight Training Supplements that are Worth the Money

March 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Before I get haggled about recommending any use of weight training supplements, I will say that fitness and/or weight loss goals can be made without the use of supplements. However, the supplements I’m about to tell you about are all natural. I’m not talking about fat blockers, thermogenic fat burners, carb blockers or any of that stuff right now, I’m talking about supplementing the diet with things that are already found in the body and used on a daily basis. The use of the following supplements is especially important for those who lift weights on a regular basis, hence the... [Read the full story]

How Pop Singer Pink Stays in Shape

I’ve always been a huge fan of P!nk’s music. I remember listening to her CDs in my car on the way to school in senior high and my feelings haven’t changed, I still love her music. Another thing I love about her is her body. She always seems to be in superb shape. I admire that about people because...

How to Lose the Last 10 Stubborn Pounds

When you’re trying to get down to a certain weight, it seems like the last few pounds is harder to take off. That’s how it was for me anyway. I started working out regularly about 2 months after my second son was born. I weighed 178 pounds the day I gave birth and I probably lost about 12 pounds right away...
