Best time to exercise
Posted on August 25, 2013 Leave a Comment
“When is the best time to exercise?” I was recently asked. It really depends on the individual, when they have the time, and the most amount of energy. I know that if I don’t exercise first thing in the morning, it will never get done. Some people are not morning people, or they don’t have […]
How often to work out with a trainer, what to look for in a trainer and what trainers hate
Posted on August 23, 2013 Leave a Comment
A client asked me how many times a week he should work with a trainer. It really depends on your goals and your budget.

Do you get upset easily? Do the terrible drivers on the road make you scream out the window and give them the middle finger? Do you really think that driver intentionally cut you off? Why would they do that on purpose if they don’t know you? Most likely that bad driver forgot to look over […]

Water haters say they drink juice and flavored water instead of plain water. Juice has calories and carbs which add up so it’s […]
Are Lazy Dog Restaurant meals fattening?

Dining out definitely increases your waist size (and your chances of having a heart attack). I have a family member that loves to eat at Lazy Dog, which wouldn’t be a place I would choose because of their unhealthy, fattening menu. Lazy Dog Restaurant’s Ginger Soy Salmon with brown rice entrée contains a whopping 1050 […]
Jillians Michaels Kickboxing Video Review
Posted on August 18, 2013 Leave a Comment
If you want short cardiovascular workouts with little out-of-pocket investment, this one is you. Jillians’ “Kickbox Fast Fix” contains three 20-minute fast-paced kickboxing workouts. Other training programs drag on because they are boring, but all three kickboxing workouts are really fun. Sometimes, with other exercise videos, I’m thinking, “When is this going to be over?” On […]
