Happy New Year! Regardless of your fitness and health goals this year (lose weight, tone up, trim down, etc.) I encourage you to increase your intensity. Research finds that 80% of people do not work out hard enough to receive a healthy benefit. Although having televisions attached to cardiovascular equipment is high tech, they may […]
Stress Management Tips
One of my ultimate favorite goofy movies is Clue. You remember…the board game we used to play when we were kids? (Okay, I just dated myself). The movie is a riot. At one point, Mrs. White, under extreme stress, starts talking about how she felt like burning hot flames were radiating from her face and […]

I believe those who achieve their goals are the ones who are prepared for their “what ifs” and have back up plans. […]
