My wedding is only a few weeks away. All my work leading up to the big day will hopefully pay off. I will admit, it is such a struggle to keep up with the workouts. Lots of little tasks come up for the wedding that need to be done and often can not be pushed [...]

For the last week I had been feeling really sick. I missed a couple of days at gym because I was so ill. I napped instead and thankfully it paid off because I feel so much better.
I made it back to the gym today. It’s amazing but even after being away for [...]

Stacey and I had our first training session together and I have to agree with her, it feels wrong to say a workout can be fun, but it really was. I was nervous at first because I know if Stacey and I went head-to-head on any exercise she would smoke me, hands-down.
We warmed up together [...]

We’ve all said it…and most of the time we know it’s not true.
That whole I’d like to work out but I don’t have time excuse.
Well, now I do have time. To be fair, it wasn’t that I didn’t have time to work out as much or the way I wanted, it was that I had [...]

Caroline and I have been talking about doing a post on personal trainers – finding the right one, the benefits, etc. for awhile now, so I was pleased when I logged onto one of our blogging friends sites (Girl get Strong) to find this article on Tips for Finding the Right Personal Trainer: http://girlgetstrong.com/2010/01/28/13-tips-on-finding-the-right-personal-trainer-for-you/.

This past weekend, my fiancee and I went to the Sunshine Coast (where we’re getting married) to do wedding things. Because of our busy schedule and being dependent on the ferry schedule, I couldn’t fit in a workout on the weekend. My preference is to workout on the weekend when I can because it stresses [...]

I’ve been sticking with the routine I posted. I’m still getting used to it. I find a new routine can take me about 3-4 times before I’m really familiar with it and look like I know what I’m doing. Well, I learned from my most recent workout that I didn’t do everything right last time. [...]

As I posted in If I train before Christmas, can I eat more on Christmas Day, I saw Shanny (my trainer) on Christmas Eve to fit in one more workout and get a new program. She worked me really hard. Here’s my new program.
Warm Up: Row 200m, 1 leg get ups x6/leg (sit on bench [...]

Thankfully Shanny (my trainer) and I were able to squeeze in another workout before Christmas. She worked me hard and changed up my routine quite a bit. It’s all good stuff but HOLY! She worked me hard! I’m doing less reps and higher weights for this new routine.
I’m doing level 8 on the treadmill now [...]

Do you ever get nervous? Or maybe just lazy? I have a serious case of the “I-don’t-feel-like-working-out” blues tonight. It’s funny how I’ll look for any reason (ahem, excuse) not to go and workout. I know, I know, I’ll feel so much better for it after but actually getting to the gym seems like so [...]
