2011 Clean Up Winners

For 4 weeks in February and March, 26 Performance Fitness clients, boot campers and “friends” participated in the End of Winter Clean Up. A nutrition challenge in which they ate real food (in other words minimally processed food) and eschewed sugar, artificial sweetener, alcohol and refined carbohydrates, like white bread. There were tears (I’m not…

Main Line 5K

I hate running. No, seriously, I HATE running! I know, hate is a pretty strong word but if the word fits… Running, in my opinion at least, is tedious, monotonous and painful.

But this year I’ve decided to take a different approach. 2009 has been both an exciting and tough year for me. As a result of the stress, I’m not as strong and…

Why do you workout?

I’ve had two conversations this month that have caused me to reflect on that question. One was at one of my speaking engagements. During the speech I went around the room and asked the women why they did or didn’t exercise. One of the woman very frankly stated, “Because I don’t like it.” The other…
