Being an admitted news junkie, you would think that I seek out these stories, but the truth is that they come to me. When I saw an article entitled, “Father Fights to Overcome Stroke for His Son”, I had no idea how inspiring it would be and how meaningful to […]

To Rest or Not to Rest, That is the Question

For some people, perhaps many, taking 6 days of rest and then anguishing over whether to work out on the seventh is their norm.   For others, who work out 6 or 7 days a week or do doubles (more than one workout a day), a rest day just doesn’t […]

Insanity Day Six – Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Power to the People!

No, not the name calling, spitting on, wrecking offices and death threats – the power that comes from being empowered through health and fitness.   We had the power to reform health care by changing our exercise habits and improving our nutrition, but we did nothing about it.   Not […]

Insanity Day Four – Cardio Recovery

Do you ever have that thought, “Well, I’m tired and I have to ______________.   Who hasn’t, right?   I’ve had a busy week and busy weekend so far and I was tired from the first two Insanity workouts.   I also had to get the Team Howtobefit newsletter done […]

Insanity Day Three – Cardio Power & Resistance

Okay, this is a 40:00 workout and I was hoping for a little more talking from Shaun T with the clock running but it didn’t happen.   I don’t know what most of you do as a warm up before you stretch and do your workout, but for some people, […]

Insanity Day Two – Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Although the first Insanity workout is 42:00, the good thing is that the clock starts running and Shaun T is talking about the warm up.   Then things start getting serious.   Honestly, I thought that the warm up started to get challenging enough that I had somehow missed the […]

Confessions of a Running Addict

You probably don’t notice, but as a highly successful Team Beachbody Coach, I only infrequently post or tweet about the Team Beachbody workout that I just did.   Well, that isn’t because I don’t love all of the programs that I have tried or want to be able to bask […]

What’s Your Problem?

Honestly, if I was on a city street or any street (or anywhere, for that matter), and I heard those words, “What’s Your Problem”, it would make me a little nervous.   Someone would seem to be unhappy and maybe looking for an outlet for their anger and aggression. Even […]
