If you are like me you don’t have hours to workout every day.  For the last year most of  my strength workouts have lasted 40-60 minutes.  Well I’ve decided to shave some of the time off by  pushing myself a little harder in less time by using the clock for motivation.  I feel like I [...]

What is Tabata training? For years, I had read references to the “Tabata protocol” but it sounded more like a code of conduct for elite special forces than a way to tighten my butt.  People would rave about how great Tabata was and the skeptic in me would think, “4 minutes…yeah right.”  Finally, I decided [...]

Went to the cupboard. Despite being close to the show. When she got there The cupboard should have been bare Since she has trouble with “NO”. Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday. The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in [...]

Wanted to say hi before my competition tomorrow.  Unlike my first show, it’s been a really chill day.  Seriously, I’ve been so laid back.  It’s nice for a change.  Cuddled with hubby before I got up and had breakfast.  The I spent the day painting on my tan, managed to throw in a few errands, [...]

I have two treadmills.  One I bought and one that was given to me for free.   The one I bought broke.  Go figure. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a treadmill workout so here ya go.  I like intervals, they make the time go by faster. 20 Minute Interval Treadmill Workout Warm up [...]

I like to eat. Less than 2 weeks to my competition and surprisingly I feel pretty good despite being far from my goal on the scale.  My friend, Martha, came over this weekend to help me with my posing.  Turn your the palm of your paw toward your bum.  Arch your back and hold you [...]

Shoulders are one of my favorite body parts.  I love the way sculpted shoulders look in tank tops and halter tops.  For me this has been and still is one of the hardest body parts to build.  The last few months I’ve been using Wednesdays to focus on my shoulders. This is what I  know [...]

Last week I posted the workout I’ve been doing on Fridays.  In keeping with my tendency to do things backwards, here is my Monday workout.  I just finished a 4 week cycle doing this every Monday.  So this week I be changing things up again.   A. Pike Push-ups – Almost to failure. …I don’t [...]

I enjoy coming up with my own workouts and every once in a while I put together a workout I just “love”.  This is one of them.  I’ve been doing this on Fridays for the last 3 weeks and every time I’ve  felt it the next day (and a for few days afterwards).   Full [...]

I enjoy using the stability ball. It makes me feel more coordinated than I really am, like a circus performer. Some people tout it as the magic tool for a flat stomach and lean legs. Like I said I enjoy it but I don’t think it’s going to give me Giselle’s legs and I certainly [...]
