Stoicism – The Way To A Happy Life
Hello Friends~ I hope your summer has been GREAT, and that you’re incorporating some fun physical activity into your daily routine. Training is as much about building a sense of self and confidence, as it is about building muscle and strength – and it can all happen at the same time. Training can be movement […]
Movement Is Medicine.
Hello friends~ Hope you’re staying cool, feeling good, and having a fun, steamy summer! I love warm weather, and especially longer days, just modifying exercise intensity in the middle of the day, and when it hits 90, as we all should. Most of the time I feel great, but every so often joint aches and […]
What’s Something You Never Thought You Would Do – And Did?
Hi friends~ Is there anything scary, hard, or exciting that you never intended to do, and did? How did it feel? Is there a backstory? I’ll start with something I couldn’t imagine doing. When I was brand new to riding my bike in a cycling group I heard someone mention a “century”. I had no […]
What’s Sexy?
Victoria’s Secret is changing their image. VS has had their niche. The fashion shows and many products have been over-the top and have attracted women, men, and non-binary folks for years. Now it’s rebranding. Aspirational marketing – sex sells everything – cars, clothing, jewelry, shoes… Aspirational marketing is powerful. But the idealized image may alienate […]

Independence From Shopping (Can I do it?)
Hello friends~ I had planned for this 4th of July newsletter to be Independence Day themed. But this is about shopping. Stay with me here… Yesterday a woman wearing stars and stripes ribbons on her hat, and dangly, glitter star earrings commented on my t-shirt, a Boho Lucky Brand item from years ago, which looks […]
Is Sugar Ok?
Hello Friends~ Are you enjoying summer and the proliferation of farmers’ markets and fresh produce everywhere? Maybe even in your own garden! I had a great conversation with a personal training and nutrition coaching client this morning about choosing the balance of foods for her athletic and weight control needs. We hit on the subject […]
Are We Having Fun Yet?
Hello friends~ Have you always loved exercise? I sure haven’t. In 7th grade, I got a D in gym. Some kids seemed to be having fun playing dodgeball and indoor field hockey, but not me. I didn’t like getting hit with a ball, nor did I like hitting other kids, and I kept getting whacked […]
My Birthday – Bet On Me And I’ll Bet On You Too
Hellooo friends~ I don’t need presents for my birthday, preferring experiences like sweaty workouts with a wonderful virtual group, and rewarding individual client sessions. It was a pleasure taking a brisk walk on this gorgeous day, and working in the garden. A nice dinner tonight will cap it off. I’m beyond grateful to be happy, […]
Never Say Diet
Hello friends~ It finally feels summery here on the Jersey Shore! And right in time, Women’s Health Magazine just published the Body Issue. A slender, beautiful Hillary Duff is featured (varying images – this is just one) and she’squoted saying, “I’m proud of my body”. Who wouldn’t be? She’s had 3 kids and kudos to her. […]
