Do you ever get tired of the same ol stuff like protein bars,  protein smoothies, and protein shakes.  Sure I like all that stuff.  I like to eat just regular hard boiled egg whites.  I like those for breakfast. I decided to help my ladies out by home baking some muffins.  I found that the ladies don’t eat breakfast too much and that after a great workout they leave my studio hungry.  I too leave kind of hungry.  I have found that if you are hungry after you eat, that some people (not e...

When I was a little girl, I loved to jump rope.  I never really thought about the impact it had on my cardiovascular system.  I was wanted to be able to jump rope.  I also did not know at the time and did not really care about the benefits it would have on my bones either.  Wow, jump roping is really a great over all exercise. Now that I am over 40 I still can jump rope, but I can not however jump rope in long increments.  HA!  I find that some people can not jump rope, but used to be able t... Read Full Story

I mentioned back in a previous posts that a variety workout helps with plateau. I have been doing Turbo Kick for awhile as a matter of fact I like the workout so much that I got certified as an instructor.  I think I mentioned that I get bored really easy.  It is time for a change.

My husband and I watch quit a few movies. I have heard about the above mentioned movie "Taken" from a couple of people. When it came out in DVD I quickly picked it up.I had no idea this movie would be such a dramatic action packed movie. I do not know much about Liam Neeson, but I do like him in this movie.One of the reasons why I did not want to see this movie at first in the theaters is because my fear was exactly this. I would have to say that if my daughter showed up missed I would not ha... Read Full Story
