Jumping for fitness (on the trampoline :)

My sister (you know the one I was visiting last week in Indiana) has a trampoline.

When I was younger, 8-15 years old, I loved jumping on the trampoline.  Though my family never had one of our own,

we had several neighbors that were willing to share theirs.

I remember all [...]

How to get your kids to love exercise

In this day and age of obesity rates, it seems that less and less people are interested in exercising.  It takes too much time, right?  Or whatever other excuse you may find.  Don’t worry, I’m not judging anyone.

Here is the question though:

If you don’t like to exercise, or you just [...]

Muscle soreness after exercising

For the most part muscle soreness or pain after exercising (usually the next day) is a result of lactic acid build up.  Its unlikely that it is caused by an injury, but if the pain persists over many days unchanging or accompanied with swelling, its possible.  In that case, rest, ice, compresion, and elavation.  Or go [...]

Gilad’s total body workout

Today I did Gilad’s total body workout.

I wanted to do P90X, you know how much I love it, but today my baby girl was awake.  I usually do my workouts in my room.  The DVD player in my living room doesn’t like to work very well when I put in my P90X DVDs, so I use [...]

eating and exercise

Here is the scenario:

You go and exercise.

You work really hard and get a great workout.

Now you are hungry.

What do you eat?

Do you grab a carrot?

Do you go to McDonald’s?

Believe it or not if you have really worked hard sometimes it is better to go for something higher in calories than a carrot.

Exercise is hard work, you [...]

P90X: confessions

Dear P90X,

I was firmly resolved to get down to business this new year.  Last week I wrote a post about being fit and healthy this year.  I am ashamed to admit I haven’t visited you once this year.  Not once :(  Its okay though I know you will always be there for me when [...]

P90X: Why must you be so difficult

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard… is what makes it great. – A league of their own

Exercise is hard.  And it doesn’t get any easier.  Well maybe a little in a way.

I think the harder I work at the core synergistics each week the better I will [...]

P90X: Bringing it with the kids

As you may already know, I have three kids, my oldest is 5.  So they are all home with me all day.

Unless I get up at five AM to do P90x, I usually end up trying to do the exercise with the kids underfoot.  Not an easy task.  I was talking with someone the other day [...]

Bringing it with P90X

Some of you already know what P90X is, but for those of you that don’t…

P90X is an exercise program done in your home while watching the dvds. Each dvd is about an hour long, except for yoga which is an hour and a half.  Also  on a couple of days the regularly scheduled workout is followed [...]

P90X

I need to get physically fit, I’m not planning to lose any weight, I’ve already posted about why.  I just want to be strong and firm.

This is my motivation….

Phil found an awesome deal for airline tickets to Las Vegas and to Florida.  Sooooooo, we decided we’d take a couple of trips this winter.  First we will [...]
