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:

Enjoy… and pass it [...]
We’ve been blessed to be in Maui for a few days now. I am grateful for all the forces that united in order to make this happen for us!
I’ve been taking mental notes of all things health-related since our arrival, which is pretty par for the course with me! I take it all in: healthy [...]
As 2010 clicks along, I’m continuing with my plan to MOVE in a purposeful way every single day. What I mean by that is not just doing normal daily activities, like work, errands, household chores, etc. I mean intentionally moving in a way that meets my body’s requirements – providing an overall variety of movement [...]
Ok, Ok… so, I haven’t fully gotten back in the swing of things with posting here regularly. BUT, I have finished the fat loss book and I’ve recorded it!! It was a trade-off… hopefully, you understand!
(The book is called “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat and Unwanted Pounds”. It will be available VERY [...]
Yesterday I had a great work out. No interruptions. Quick, focused and to the point.
The work out:
100 (quick) alternating squats/side kicks … my favorite “power” burst move these days!
30 alternating lunges onto Bosu ball with 2 x 35 lb. dumbbells
Abs – 40 pelvic lifts, lying on back and lifting lower body off floor with medicine [...]
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 [...]
Here’s a work out I did a couple days ago – it was preceded by the early morning routine of “Spinal Hygiene” exercises (posture & proprioception), stretching, yoga and some calisthenics. After the work out I took the dog out for a short walk (about 15 minutes).
The work out:
20 squats on flat side of Bosu [...]
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 [...]
I went into my last weight training/resistance training work out with the intention of adding some “power moves” to add to the work out’s fat-burning potential.
This is how it turned out:
150 alternating lunges onto Bosu ball while holding medicine ball – alternated ball position: 25 twisting to each side, 25 with ball straight overhead, 25 [...]
Yesterday I mixed things up a bit.
I did 10 minutes of high-intensity interval resistance exercises with very short rest periods in between (excellent fat-burning exercise), then headed out for a run.
The “work out”:
30 squats with 35 lbs dumbbells on shoulders
30 push-ups
30 two-arm bent over rows with 2 x 25 lb. db’s
30 Pilates-like ‘reach & tuck’ [...]
(Even the short people are expected to RUN around here!)
Last night I went out for some sprints before dinner. It was a last-minute decision to squeeze that in… yesterday was supposed to be an “off day” for formal working out. (No true off days for movement, though… that’s not meeting our innate genetic requirements for [...]
