As I mentioned before, there are many benefits to hiring a personal trainer. It’s not just for the rich and famous, anymore.
A personal trainer can assess your fitness level, prescribe an exercise and eating plan for you, customize that plan to your individual needs, teach you proper form for doing the exercises [...]

Seeking Guest Writers

Monday, February 18th, 2008

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m going to be visiting Cancun next week. I’m seeking writers for the time that I’ll be away, so that I won’t have to spend my time writing when I could be sailing or scuba diving.
If you’re interested, I’m looking for content in the areas of fitness, nutrition, and exercise. [...]

Enjoy in Moderation

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, just in case you didn’t notice. Like many other couples, my husband and I went out to dinner. He had made reservations at one of my favorite local restaurants - Albert’s Provence. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with some great food.
This morning I read something by Craig Ballantyne. [...]

Should You Settle for Less Than Perfection?

Monday, February 11th, 2008

“Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars”
~Nickelback

We want it all. Or at least, I do. I want the ultimate body, a horde of friends, a mansion to live in, Mr. Perfect, and all the rest. Why should I settle for less?

Fitness for the Busy Lifestyle

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I have a very busy life. On most days I homeschool my children, cook at least one meal, try to do some housework, and drive children to various activities, including gymnastics, theatre, and art. Where does a person like me find time to keep fit?
The answer to this question will vary, but the [...]

How is fitness prescription like project management? That’s the question I was asking myself last night as I listened to a presentation by Dr. James T. Brown, PMP at a meeting of the Tallahassee Chapter of the Project Management Institute, which I attend every other month with my husband, Raymond Keckler, a Project Management [...]

Longer Life

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I’ve been meaning to write about “good” foods vs. “bad” foods ever since I wrote my long post about The Benefits of Exercise. Today at the Get Fit Slowly blog, J.D. reviewed an article in the March, 2008, issue of Consumer Reports on Nine Ways to a Longer Life.
I’m going to nitpick for just [...]

My mom asked me, last night, what I’d recommend to older adults who are just beginning an exercise program.
She brought up the case of Suzanne Somers, who apparently had trouble losing weight until she went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance. (I haven’t seen the interview to [...]

Benefits of Exercise?

Friday, February 1st, 2008

 
You’ve probably read all the benefits of exercise.  You know they all say, “You’ll feel better and have more energy!”  If you’re out of shape and you’ve ever tried to exercise, you know the truth.  You know how you huff and puff and sweat through a session.  You don’t enjoy it, and you never want [...]

Getting Motivated

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

I’ve been reading  NLP: The New Technology of Achievement . The chapter on Getting Motivated really made me think about what motivates people, and why. This book reminds me a bit of Think and Grow Rich, the old classic by Napoleon Hill. It seems to me, though, that NLP: The New Technology of Achievement is [...]
