Workouts, nutrition and motivation to get healthy at home
As 2009 comes to a close, I wanted to create a “best of” post for this blog. I haven’t done it before and I think it’s a great way to summarize the year and what’s happened here at Melinda’s Fitness Blog. Here is a top 10 list I created in no particular order: My Top [...]
Today was my first workout in 12 days. Whooooops! Christmas definitely got in the way for me these past few days. Shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking and decorating wiped me out. Since we got over 12″ of snow I did get to shovel a couple times though. That has to count for something right? Since I [...]
First of all, I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! What a busy, busy weekend this one was for my family. After going to 3 Christmases in 4 days, I can tell you I’m completely exhausted. And somewhere along the way we managed to build and decorate a gingerbread house village. Our kids sure did [...]

Today was another cardio workout day for me. It’s really starting to get easier which makes me pretty happy because I’ve always hated cardio – more specifically steady state cardio – but it really does start to get easier once your body gets used to running. I’m pleasantly surprised how much I’m actually starting to [...]
Today’s workout only consisted of steady state cardio and a small ab workout. Going into this workout, I thought about nixing the strength training portion today and just running for as long as I could. So that’s what I did. I ran until I basically ran out of energy and felt like I was going [...]
