Yes, the truth does hurt. Especially coming from your dear little offspring. If you still have yet to know the joy of your youngster giving it to you “like it is,” let me help you… it hurts. You will laugh, gasp, sting, but you can’t deny when they hit it on the head.

Sometimes we all need a little motivation to make the time to exercise. But getting back into a regular fitness routine can be especially tough when you’re trying to juggle work, family and life in general. Perhaps it’s been awhile since you’ve worked out or it’s been so...

Of my new self-flagellation tour: running in the morning. Before work. At 6 am.
I came to this decision grudgingly. It's unbelievably hot. The air is awful. And I need to exercise desperately.
So Monday I started with a half hour run down the path right outside my new home. Seriously, you...

What are some ways you encourage your children to turn off the TV, unplug the video games and be active.

I come from a family of marathon runners. I’m not talking hobby runners either; I’m talking “watch your back buddy or my medals will whap you as I leave you in the dust!!!” It may not be what you think though. When I say “I come from,” what I’m really...

One of the things I love most about the neighborhood where we live is our close proximity to Pond Park and the bike path. Before marriage, before kids, we lived in a dumpy little duplex in a million-dollar neighborhood. We loved it. We spent more time on that bike path together than we ever did...

At 8:30 this morning my twins and I began our bike ride from Watt Avenue access along the American River Parkway. There was a bit of a breeze, but it felt good. As we rode up the bike trail the breeze quickly turned into a strong, gusty wind. We rode against the wind all the way...

Not really (today), but I'll keep telling myself that until it's true.
This week has been fun, yet challenging in terms of workouts. I started a new month with the Self Challenge, so I got all new strength and cardio workouts. This is a good thing, cause I was way passed bored with the first...

I just came inside, red faced and sweaty, to take a little break. I’ve been out shoveling mulch and working on my front yard for the last few hours, and DANG! Do I ever feel the burn!
Yesterday I biked over to our local public tennis courts and met up with three friends of a...

While in postpartum yoga on Wednesday, I discovered I have diastasis. I wish I had known back in August 2007 when I gave birth, so that I could have been doing exercises along the way to correct it sooner. But it 's never too late to start now.
Diastasis is a separation...

My son is still discovering the amazing power of his limbs. He is frequently flapping his arms and kicking his legs with such vigor that I’m sure he’s going to take off. When he’s not doing that, he’s gazing curiously at his fingers, those chunky digits, before he pops...

When I was in middle school, my dad made me start running. He did this because I lied about my mile time in PE (he's an odd, but lovable man). So one summer I had to run four times a week with him. We got up to four-mile runs by the end of the summer, and it ended up not being a totally awful...

Thursday my husband called me from work to double check that we didn’t have any plans for Saturday night. Something not out of the norm for him to do. I assumed he was going to make some plans with his friends or had a work event to attend. So when he told me no, that he’s planning...
