We all know how difficult it is to exercise when you have a demanding schedule. However, work and age is never an excuse. Despite having a hectic work schedule and being over 40, one of America’s most loved Chef’s Rachel Ray still finds time to exercise. According to an article on OMG Yahoo!, she did not start exercising seriously until after 40. Given that she is in her early 40′s, this was only a few years ago.
Rachel Ray opens up about how she starts her day each morning in the gym with her husband. It is always a perk to have a live-in work out partner for exercise. Besides the obvious of a great physique, exercise is great for the mind. Rachel Ray stated the following in her interview with OMG Yahoo:
“It really makes me feel mentally so much more on point, so much more even. I don’t lose my temper. I don’t get lost in the middle of the day,” she shares. “I just have a much cleaner, clearer vision every day and I can get so much more accomplished mentally by moving physically every day.”
Fitness Ball is great for Core Strength
April 21, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
I just completed a 45 minute routine using my Fitness Ball. My body feels great after my cool down with a few dynamic yoga stretches.
It is super fun and easy doing exercises with my Fitness Ball using my beautiful hardcover book “Swiss Ball for Core Strength” by Declan Condron. One of the primary reasons I love this book is the design and spiral coil binding that is hidden within the hardcover. This makes it easy to keep the book flat while I am doing my Fitness Ball exercises. Kudo’s to author Declan Condron for using this type of bindery. It helps readers stay engaged while exercising and reading the “Swiss Ball for Core Strength” book. [Read more...]

Great Sunday Workout!!!
April 15, 2012 by · 1 Comment
OMG!!! Feeling great after my awesome workout… I have no proof, but I think that my IPOD Tunes really helped my work out intensity. Atlthough the tunes are random, today they were all very fast moving songs. When this happens, I tend to push myself harder. Wow!! My legs legs are feeling the 4 miles, I did today.
But I can’t leave out my Brooks Running Shoes. They make my feet feel awesome and inspire me to be happy. The one thing that you can’t skimp on and that is proper exercise shoes. Personally, Brooks Running shoes are the only ones that I wear. My arch will not allow me to be unfaithful to Brooks runnng shoes, so I am a loyal fan of this ultra comfortablle shoe. [Read more...]
Bulge Battle: Keeping the weight off – permanently
April 15, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
I came across an interesting quick read from Health Day by US News and World Report. It made me smile because this should be a no-brainer for weight loss. Everyone should know that avoiding sauces, gravies and fattening dressings will help with the weight loss. Consistency is key, if you want to succeed in your personal fitness quest. The Health Day Snippet shared a few pointers from Cleveland Clinic on maintaining a healthy weight:
- Cut down on daily calories; work with a dietitian to come up with the ideal caloric intake for you.
- Scale back on sauces, dressings and other condiments. Make healthier choices such as lemon juice, vinegar, and low-calorie marinades.
- Don’t skip meals or starve yourself. This can make you pack on more pounds.
- Eat high-fiber, whole grain foods. Don’t stock your kitchen with tempting foods. [Read more...]

Miami Marlins Lose Against Cardinals in New Marlins Stadium
The MLB 2012 Season has officially started. The Miami Marlins are settled in their new park and is getting used to their new name and colors. I am excited about the new stadium and the fact that it is covered. It will encourage more people to come out to games. It will also prove to be a useful new venue for other events in the area.
Despite all of the fan fare and attention being given to the Miami Marlins, the Arizona Cardinals, current defending Cardinals, made the headlines with their 4/1 win over the Miami Marline. This is largely due to the spectacular efforts if Arizona Cardinals Kyle Lohse. [Read more...]
5 “Bad” Foods Dieters Should Not Avoid
March 27, 2012 by · 3 Comments
Weight loss is never fun. As they say in Weight Watchers it is a “Journey”. I might add, one that is not to be taken lightly. It takes discipline and commitment to be perfectly toned and to lose a large amount of weight. I struggle to maintain a healthy balance of a consistent fitness routine with a healthy diet, since I enjoy cooking.
My guilty pleasures are nuts and swiss cheese. I could live on these two items alone, but know that it is not good for my mid section or hips. I was delighted to read the article – 5 Bad Foods You Should Eat on a Diet, by Readers Digest Editor, Liz Vaccariello and author of the new book: The Digest Diet. In the article, the author listed off five”bad” foods dieters should not avoid.
