Gym Buddy Krista’s face says it all, I think. There was pain (like two nails driven into my butt cheeks, not to mention serious ham and quad soreness) but there was also much laughter. After FitJerk shredded our abs, you’d think I’d be leery of handing our delicate lady behinds over to him but you …
Read more “Blast Your Booty: 5 Moves to a Bodacious Backside”
A first for me at the gym today: I actually got off my treadmill and moved to another one because of the person next to me. For some this might not be a big deal but I pride myself on being very tolerant of all different kinds of weird human afflictions. Bad gas, stinky sweat, …
Hee! They drew hair on his legs!! When Personal Trainers AttackIt was bound to happen. The gym can be like a family – both in good ways and bad – so when a personal trainer went on Attack today, I can’t say I was overly surprised. Well, that and he told me he was going …
When FitJerk posted his “Jerkdominal Blast” on Twitter, I might have just smiled remembering that my abs are only 2 months post baby expelling and not exactly up to anything involving blasts – or jerks for that matter – except that he said the magic word. No, not “please.” He said challenge. I cannot resist …

Sweat. Expended energy. Stress relief. Weight loss. Heart health. Friend time. Or alone time. An excuse to wear the ridiculously cute new workout duds from Nike Dance Line. I mean, really, what’s not to love about working out? Well, there is one part of you that doesn’t appreciate your dedication to exercise – and I’m …
Happy Holidays from Charlotte and the Gym Buddies! When the great (and Jewish) MizFit took it upon herself to organize a Christmas Eve FitBlogger Talent Show I was overcome with joy. Everyone has a special talent, right? And mine is wearing crazy socks. On a really good day I manage to match the crazy socks …
If you have time to conquer rogue planets from your swimming pool, you definitely have time to fit in a quick workout! “I don’t have time to exercise.” Probably the most oft used excuse of all time when people are explaining their lack of working out. And I believe them! Sort of. While it is …

(Dear Dad, you are going to want to stop reading here. Seriously. Actually all men will probably want to skip this one.) Now that Jon and Kate are finally divorced (the 8 went with Kate – I’m guessing the Judge was a Dr. Suess fan), the country can now focus its collective attention on more …

Once upon a time I could do a push up. Many, even! But then I got pregnant and had a baby and the phrase “shredded, ripped abs” took on a whole new meaning. You never know how much you use your core muscles until you no longer have any. I discovered this the other day …
