Lift HEAVIER and Lose FAT

Disneymarathon

During the Disneymarathon I was totally in gut check mode several times. The other day I blogged my overall experience but I wanted to highlight some of the mental toughness that went down through the 2nd day of the Goofy or the Disneymarathon.

Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout Formula Review

Since a lot of you are interested in the Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout drink, I wanted to review it here! You drink it prior to your workout.

We had a PNP girl call herself out today in the forums today because she's tired of avoiding her Insanity workouts for Wii Biggest Loser. Is there anything wrong with those workouts?

Three Weeks Makes a Huge Difference for a PNP Girl

Man…I can’t hardly write it much better than a new girl to PNP put it…Meadow. Today she posted how the lifestyle is taking over in her team thread for Working Moms. We’ve got girls who signed up for an 8-week challenge and then I put them on support teams. Well, it’s been great to sayContinue Reading

Rest Days

I got this quote today from Runner’s World… The most important day in any running program is rest. Rest days give your muscles time to recover so you can run again. Your muscles build in strength as you rest. – Hal Higdon This is true not only in running but especially true in strength trainingContinue Reading

Keep the Basics Going

In the workshop this week I concluded the email with a quote… “Keep it simple. Get strong. Add more weight when you train, as often as you can. Eat clean and eat often. Get good sleep, and you’ll make progress.”   There are several basics to good health. These basics also have a huge impactContinue Reading
