i'm getting so fat and weak.

I love running until I can't breathe... I love resistance training until my muscles burn for days... The head rush right after... and the soreness the next day is completely addicting.
I love my body. I'm in shape, I have curves for...

Let me start out by saying I was always athletic when I was younger. I swam in high school and in college as well. I still swim but nowadays I only swim a few times a week, then the rest of the week I run, kickbox, and do the stair...

Sometimes its difficult to get motivated to do anything, but I have stepped up my working out quite a bit in the last two years. I now work out 4 to 6 times per week. I love going to the gym, and even though I am antisocial it is good...

Most of my friends often asked me aside from the physical and health benefits, what is the point of working out. I was dumbfounded at that point. I pondered quite deeply about this question. For me, working out in a sense frees me, a...

I used to be a dancer but because I'm pursuing a career in acting, I've stopped dancing. It was so hard not getting regular exercise and I felt so horrible and heavy! I joined a gym in January and I've been loving it! My first obstacle...

I can say that wellness is a way of life for me these days. Love to lift weights, run, swim, cycle and anything else that makes my mind, body, and spirit work as one. Picked up the Paleo Diet about three months ago and continue to see...

After what seems like forever fighting a flu, I have done two days of moderate exercise.

Day one was brutal - lol, but today alot better. I just have to be patient and ease back gradually.

It has postponed my workout... Arghhh.

I was so prepped for this weeks shift into a new workout program. Upsetting but ah well C'est la vie.
Just have to wait. Listening to the body is the first rule.

Pulled on the armwrestling machine today, did Shrugs, Bentover Dumbbell-Rows, EZ-Curls and Dumbbell Wrist-Curls. In a nutshell I blasted Hands & Arms.
I have a cameraman shadowing me, shooting footage for a documentary on my Sledge...

Could not get out to swing the sledge hammer yesterday because of the rain and the mud, but I had a good workout in the gym. I warmed up with my punching and kicking drills and then I hit legs, shoulders, triceps and abs very hard...
