Thursday, April 30th, 2009I really love going to yoga at least once a week.

Fitness Wear has Morphed Throughout the Years
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I remember when I started to to workout in the gym about 25 years ago.

If you are severely obese, you may be buying two airline tickets
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009I am sure there are plenty of people out there who are happy to be overweight, or at least they say they are. I am not sure I understand how anyone can be happy to see their life being cut short, or enjoying the added burden of just walking up a flight of stairs. There [...]

Lingerie Football: Seriously?
Sunday, April 26th, 2009It’s hard to put into words how appalled I am at the concept of Lingerie Football. It isn’t that I don’t like football or lingerie - separately. I know I am going to come across as some insecure, angry feminist but this seems wrong to me at a time when women want to be equal, not [...]

Cool Down/ Yoga Music
Friday, April 24th, 2009Here are some songs I really enjoy when I teach yoga or you can use them just for cool downs after you workout. My favorites are the Chakra songs by Sophia. They are different and not at all what you would hear on the radio but they are excellent!

My opinion on the P90X
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009Today I received my P90X DVD set. I have been seeing the infomercial for quite some time and have thought about buying this for myself mainly just for the ideas that I will get from the gagillion DVD set (I think it’s 8.)
