Will Do Anything for Cake…

{Read More...}

I wanted to discuss making workouts a priority, partly because I love repeating myself, but mostly because people actually ask me: do I really have to work out?

There’s all kinds of gear and videos and crap out there so you can exercise while you sit at home, exercise with your baby, exercise while you do the dishes, exercise while you have a heart-to-heart with your teen about the dangers of using crack, and so on. Some of it is fine, but most [...]

It’s so frustrating [...]

Exercise Helps Mental Health. No, Really…

Lately, I’ve been unmotivated to exercise. This negotiating with myself is taking up all my time, and I’ve got to stop. I’m guessing we all have an inner voice that tells us things related to starting and doing physical activities, and probably more than one. Mine sometimes tells me that I need a workout, or [...]

A guy taking off his shirt in public, a gal wearing a revealing outfit, and a fitness dork that starts her own blog are all saying… Hey, look at me! Over here! I’m showing off, check me out! Pay attention to me! But there is a huge difference between, say me, and the shirtless guy [...]
