In this article, I describe how powerful it can be to apply the simplicity and common sense of The Wellness Formula to your fat loss and weight loss goals.
In fact, if you DON’T understand some of the core components of how this formula works – how health is created and how illness happens – chances [...]
You may have noticed that I didn’t post the work outs I was doing while we were on vacation last week. (I wasn’t being lazy… I had committed to writing an article about weight loss and fat loss each day for various publications and chose not to do BOTH, that’s all!)
In a nutshell, I did [...]
Here’s an article I recently wrote that describes the “right” kind of exercise to boost your metabolism and kick your fat loss up a few notches!
(ALL exercise is good, and we physiologically require a variety of motion. But, certain types of exercise are superior for fat loss.)
Here’s the link to the article:

Oops!
In my sheer glee from being on a real, live vacation with my family, I had what my kids would affectionately refer to as a
“brain toot”!
The other day I announced that my newest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds”
has just been released.
You can check it out [...]
Some of you are aware that I’ve been working on this project for the last couple of months. I’m excited to announce that my latest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds” is ready to roll!
This is THE last weight loss solution you’ll ever need!
You can check [...]
Here we go… here’s the continuation of the last few days’ worth of work outs, for those of you taking notes!
Wednesday:
Morning spinal hygiene.
Went for a great 5 mile run! What made it great? The sun, the snow… and the wild-hair-in-my-buttocks that inspired me about a third of the way into the run to start doing [...]
Yes, I’m way off track with posting my work outs for you! No, I’m not off track with the work outs… thank goodness!
Since several of you have continued to ask for specifics of what I actually do (or maybe you’re just testing me!!), here’s part one of what the last week and a half has [...]
I’d like to apologize for not being as regular with my postings as usual in the past week or so.
I’ve been spending most of my “Dr. Mom focused time” on a book I’m hoping to complete within the next week ~ “7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat and Unwanted Pounds… The Wellness Way!”
(By the [...]
On my last running day, I bundled up accordingly and headed out with the intention of a fairly predictable 4.5 – 5 mile run. It was very cold, but sunny… so I thought I’d be fine. When I came to the first unprotected clearing of trees, I was shocked by an incredible blast of arctic [...]
A few days ago I was “scheduled” to do a run. Apparently, at some point in the past few months, I’ve become a fair weather runner! I didn’t exactly realize I felt this way… in fact, I usually LIKE to get out and run in the muck! Not this particular day. It was raining hard [...]
I’ve had a couple of good ‘official’ resistance training work outs this week, in addition to some energizing bursts of full body resistance moves during my morning routines of spinal hygiene and calisthenics.
In the mornings, along with stretching, cross-crawl patterns, proprioception-stimulating movements and postural corrective exercises, I’ve added some “big moves” like alternating squat kicks, [...]
Since my last cardio update here, I’ve gone for one longer run and a couple of walks with Guinness, King of all Dog Breaths.
Wednesday’s run was fantastic! Not because my pace would have qualified me for the Boston Marathon by any means! Nope, just because it was a gorgeous day and I was really, really [...]
Yesterday started out with the usual “spinal hygiene” exercises (posture and proprioception) as well as some brief calisthenics to wake my body and brain up! It’s about 10-20 minutes in the morning, depending on how much I do.
Later in the day I did a resistance training and “power moves” work out:
100 alternating squats with front [...]
In the past week, I’ve had two work outs that were officially “resistance training” or “weight training” in nature.
On a daily basis, I’m starting each day with “P & P” exercises – posture and proprioceptive exercises – as well as a varying combination of calisthenics, abdominals work and yoga. Again, just a reminder that movement [...]
Man, I’ve really been off my routine lately!
It has been a strange combination of cold weather and icy back roads where I usually run, as well as some challenges with coordinating work schedules… and the result has been that I’m not getting out for runs the way I’d like to.
So, I’ve been mixing things up [...]
If you’d like to SEE results from your weight training or resistance training work outs – leaner, more toned, less fat, more definition, etc. – the most effective way to work out is to use an amount of weight/resistance that REALLY challenges you.
For example, if you’re going to do some squats, it’s more effective to [...]
This can be a tricky time of year if you’re a health-seeking social butterfly!
Like no other time of the year, we tend to be inundated with opportunities to stray from our healthy habits. Parties, family get-togethers, holiday festivities… coupled with less daylight, colder temperatures and oftentimes less desire to get out and exercise. Oh, and [...]
This latest book (and its accompanying products) by one of my favorite Health Brainiacs, Mike Geary, has just launched!
You’ve heard me talk about Mike here before… I love what he has to say about nutrition, weight loss, fat burning foods, the truth about diets, fitness, exercise… love it! He’s a Certified Nutrition Specialist and a [...]
Good one today. Quick, powerful, sweaty. I like it! Sweat reminds me that I’m doing something worthwhile… or so I tell myself!
The work out:
25 lunges with front foot up on Bosu ball, rear foot up on couch – holding 2 x 25 lb. db’s
15 two-arm rows with 2 x 25 lb. db’s, standing on Bosu [...]
I had a good work out today. Imagine this – I (re)discovered that I get a much more intense and focused work out when I’m not trying to simultaneously teach a math lesson or help with Spanish translation!! Go figure!
Today, I made sure that my off spring were happily preoccupied with other activities (a.k.a. the [...]
