Treadmill

This is a guest post by Topher Lee Back in my younger days, I stayed in shape by playing sports and working out with my friends. After I got married and started a family, however, my time seemed to revolve around my children and their busy schedules. I became out of shape and frankly, overweight. […]

This is a guest post by Edward. Trends come and go in the fitness world. Remember the 80’s when everyone went to high impact aerobic classes wearing their leotards and leg warmers? For the last few years, the trend has been to work out in posh fitness centers, using primarily machines like the treadmill, dumbbells […]

An Hour on the Treadmill

January 3, 2009

One of the things I know I have to do to be successful with losing weight this year is to put more time on the treadmill. But it’s so darn boring! Workout music helps, but if you are going to run for at least an hour like I want to start doing, then you need […]

Knocking Out Some Cardio

November 11, 2008

I did something today that I am pretty proud of. It isn’t on the scale of the two mile run I did back in January, but considering where I have been lately in terms of exercising, it was pretty good. I’m back on the couch to 5k training program, starting back at week 4. Last […]

Are You Cheating The Runner in You?

Don’t Skip the Cardio

December 18, 2007

It’s been about 5 weeks since I have used the treadmill.  Since that time I did get three 3 miles run in, but other than that - no cardio.  As you may remember (or maybe not since it has been so long since I have done any!) I am basing my cardio workout on the […]

Safe and Sound in Munich

November 29, 2007

I arrived to a chilly Munich tonight, finally settling into my hotel at about 9:30.  It is noticeably colder here than London (big shock, duh) but I was surprised to see the actual temp is only a couple of degrees below zero - it felt a lot colder than that. Having run on 3 days […]
