Oh, this is so in your face! I wish I were referring to some super cool, super effective new fat elimination sucker thingy, but alas, this is not the case...I'm talking about the marketing mantra of the millennium, the one that probably has even your balls firmly in its grasp. Of course I speak figuratively ladies, and I don't know about you, but I don't let anyone touch my balls without very special permission. Feel the same way about yours? See if you have accepted these vi

I was in the middle of a serious game of Tug-of-War with my dog, a very important part of our day, when I heard it. There is little that would cause this bonding time to be interrupted but I dropped the bone and ran to the living room as fast as I could. The TV was on and a man was saying "I guess I'll just have to learn to accept it - I've got my mother's thighs!" A few other guys appeared, lamenting similar gripes. I just about fell over with laughter (thanks to years of tr

As I watched this video, I couldn't help but notice what was happening in the background. Take a look and see if you can spot it before you read any farther. Initially, I laughed at the fact that the cell phone has truly become like a necessary appendage and we are unable to go anywhere without it. I grew up with rotary phones and wonder at how the phone has taken such an important place in our lives that we must have the phone right there in our hand at all times! Now that I

"I just wanted to tell you, you look amazing. Keep doing whatever you're doing - it's working!" This is what a nice man in the gym said to me last night. Sure, I've heard it before. Yes, it's always nice to hear. Especially on days like yesterday when I was feeling the effects of trade show trauma, my term for the physical exhaustion that follows the packing, driving, checking into a hotel for 10 nights, going to start the set-up process for my show (a total of 6 hours when e

I wish it would run! The spot I'm talking about is the area of the inner thigh that is relentless in its ability to go round after round with me and somehow always manage to outlast me. So very frustrating! On a daily basis, I am asked "How do you get your abs/shoulders/biceps ripped to shreds?" Getting ripped to shreds has a LOT to do with diet and PATIENCE. And finally, there is NO SUCH THING AS SPOT REDUCING. My inner thighs are the perfect example! I work them very hard a

Because I work 11 hour days, 10 days or more in a row with no lunch or other kind of break during my shift, and the fact that I am constantly interacting with the public, it means 7-course meals are definitely NOT going to happen. Not that I would want that many courses but at least one would be nice...It feels more like I have only 7-second courses throughout the day, with Dang That's Green Smoothie filling in the rest! Seriously, I don't even have the luxury to sit down and

This is not really a question. Of course, ideally do both. Maybe a work schedule isn't a challenge for you but there are other things that compete for your time. The most important actions will be the ones you do consistently, so missing a workout occasionally won't hurt - just don't fall prey to using work as an excuse not to workout. You can make great improvements to your health and fitness with as little as 10-20 minutes, 2 - 3 times a week and you CAN find that time, if
