Fitness Tip #5: Keep Exercising Throughout Pregnancy
Monday, February 18th, 2008I’d like to introduce you to Denise Austin (as if she really needs introducing!). Austin earned a specialized degree in exercise physiology from the University of Arizona in 1979. Since then, she has written 10 books on fitness and weight loss and has more than 20 seasons of television under her belt.
Austin is here with [...]
* BONUS * Win a Cookies & Cream PowerBar
Monday, February 18th, 2008I mentioned sports/energy bars and drinks in yesterday’s post as a way to energize before a workout or to refresh yourself after a workout.
I can’t say that I like the taste of most sports bars. They typically taste too dry, grainy, mineral-y…I don’t know what word to use to describe it appropriately. My taste buds [...]

Fitness Tip #4: Say Good-Bye to Excuses
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Excuse #1: I don’t have time to exercise.
Actually, you don’t have time not to. Not only does exercise ward off countless diseases and illnesses, it also decreases stress, increases happiness, helps you sleep better, and improves your sex life. Plus, you’re more likely to get a job and to earn more if you’re thin. On [...]

Fitness Tip #3: Wear Cute Workout Clothes
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Not only are “real” workout clothes more flattering than your ratty t-shirts and sweats, they’ll also make you feel more athletic and they are typically more functional. For example, a moisture wicking shirt will likely be more comfortable than a cotton tee and running pants will probably flow better than your baggy pajama pants.
Since its [...]
Fitness Tip #2: Buy a Good Sports Bra
Saturday, February 16th, 2008No matter what kind of exercise that you’re planning to do (aside from swimming, I suppose), there are really only two things that you need: good shoes and a good sports bra. These are two areas where it is unwise to skimp on quality, even if the cost is a little bit higher than you [...]
What to Wear on the Day of the Race
Friday, February 15th, 2008You could wear something typical like shorts and a tee or running tights and a tank-top. Or you could stand out on the track in a pretty little number from SkirtSports.
A running skirt (the GymGirl or the MarathonGirl, for example) is an excellent option to consider. SkirtSports’ skirts are stylish and modern, but also modest [...]
