Appears courtesy of Fast and Furious Fitness. As regular readers of my blog know, I was posted in China a few years ago. My last posting was in the U.S., and while I used to work out regularly in the US, and continued to do so when I came to China, for some reason, I [...]
Appears courtesy of Running With Perseverance. I can’t believe that the Army Ten Miler is only a few days away! (You can see my training log for week one here, week two here, week three here and week four here). My main goal for the ATM is to cross the finish line smiling, which is [...]

Appears courtesy of Running With Perseverance. Welcome to my week 2 training log for the Army Ten Miler on October 9, 2011. (You can see how I kicked-off week one here). My main goal for the ATM is to cross the finish line smiling, which is no small feat for this particular event! Based on [...]
Appears courtesy of Get Fit Naturally. When developing an exercise routine, it is helpful to have a goal in mind. This helps turn a fitness routine into a habit, keeps you focused, and helps to ensure success. Begin by recording your weight and body measurements such as arms, chest, abs, hips and thighs. Then take [...]

Anderson at the University of Leeds in England. Aerobic circuit training is a form of conditioning combining resistance training and high-intensity aerobics. Add a 30-second to [...]
Appears courtesy of Heather from DietitianOnTheRun. Every training plan includes rest days, and cross-training days – whether or not that suggestion is used wisely is entirely up to you. I have chosen Runner’s World Smart Coach Training tool for numerous races in the past; it has never failed me, but I’ve never used it to the full [...]
Appears courtesy of Stephanie from TheAlmostRunner. If you’ve been reading this blog for longer than 2 days, you’ll know that I’m not really a “fitness” person. I don’t enjoy “moving around.” I would rather “watch TV while eating chocolate-covered-peanuts.” What has generally happened since high school (except for a few months before my wedding) is [...]
But the thing is I don’t necessarily feel motivated. I just feel like working out is part of my everyday life – kinda like my addiction to TV, bad jokes, and thought bubbles.
Appears courtesy of CreateliveBlog. Ha, did I get your attention with that post title? Okay, maybe only the guys… My friend Kelsey mentioned trying the Megan Fox bike workout at the gym recently. I found her bike workout on Bodybuilders. The cardio workout is based on intervals… and, when I say intervals, I mean serious [...]
Appears courtesy of Tina from Carrots N Cake. I’m naturally a morning person, but becoming a morning exerciser was no easy task! The first few mornings of waking up early were really hard, but the more I forced myself to do it, the easier it became. Even now it’s not always that pleasant—especially when it’s [...]
Appears courtesy of Team IntraFit. Is your ab routine focused on your abs or are they really building your hip-flexors? The answer may surprise you. The abs are the visual center of the human body. Many so-called abs exercises actually do not work on building the abs at all. People are left scratching their head [...]
You’ve been faithful to your word. You head to the gym as soon as you get off work. You’ve got your routine down pat: cardio and strength training. This has been your routine since the beginning of the year. For the first couple of months, it was fun. You had fire in your belly. You [...]

You can thank the Big Guy upstairs for that muffin top. A woman’s body is designed to store more fat in the abdominal area to aid in pregnancy. That means we have to work twice as hard as our male counterparts to flatten our tummies. Through research and A LOT of trial and error (more [...]
We’re getting to the end of winter and that usually means, if you’re a runner and not doing your winter workouts outdoors, then you’re on the dreadmill. Long boughts of treadmill workouts are enough to strike fear into the heart of any runner. Here’s a great variation on a tempo workout to wake up the [...]
One “different” type of run that I’m following in my marathon training is the Run/Walk run. At a very basic level, it’s just interval training: run for an allotted amount of time, walk for an allotted amount of time. I scoffed when I first read about run/walk training, thinking, “doesn’t that defeat the purpose? I’m [...]
