How Pop Singer Pink Stays in Shape

February 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment

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 it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get to and maintain a shape like she has. Pink was recently on the Oprah show (2.5.10), where she talked about her recent Grammy performance (which, in case you missed it, was phenomenal) and what she does to keep her body looking great while...

2/6 Workout: Heavy Legs & Shoulders

February 6, 2010 · Leave a Comment

This leg and shoulders workout took a lot outta me today! I did heavy legs again this week and I followed that up with shoulders. I was going to do weighted crunches afterwards but my arms (more specifically my shoulders) were too tired. I felt I wasn’t performing them properly because I wasn’t strong enough so after doing about one-and-a-half, I decided that I’ll just save abs for tomorrow before I do cardio.

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 · 1 Comment

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]

Today was chest & triceps day followed with steady state cardio. I always get excited about chest day. I like the bench press – it’s always been one of my favorite exercises. I decided to up the weight 5 pounds this week and was still able to perform 5 reps. That’s right in the 4 to 6 rep range...
