This post was done as a joint endeavor with the inimitable and beloved MizFit as our tribute to gratitude. It seems like sometimes we fit bloggers get a bit obsessive about our bodies. (That would be the understatement of the year except that “Michael Jackson is a bit off” wins every time.) We tweak what …
Yep, that’s a person in there. During all my years of teaching, I’ve seen a lot. In a single quarter I had a student vomit, another have a stroke, and a third show up for the final with no teeth claiming police brutality. I was teaching as the Twin Towers fell and watched the chaos …
Parroting the oft-told axiom that men find strong women frightening, a personal trainer at the Y today said of Gym Buddy Allison and I: “Those girls scare me.” My first reaction was, “Us?

Gym Buddies Andrea (who will never ever get hit by a car while running at night), Sarah, Allison, Sunshine, Me, and Serena People sometimes ask me, “How on earth do you find motivation to workout every day? Don’t you get bored?” The next time someone says this to me I’m going to whip these pics …
A friend called me today with an interesting conundrum. Simply put, despite her best efforts, she gets hit on at the gym all the time. Now, before you go off rolling your eyes and muttering about how pretty people need real problems, she brings up an interesting point. As women, we have to walk a …
Be water. This was the advice given me by a good friend, if by good friend you understand that while we share a half dozen Linked In connections and comment on each others kids’ pictures on Facebook, we haven’t actually spoken in five years. He is a second-degree black belt in Aikido. “Be water” was …
