My Spring Equinox Fitness Challenge: Swim Test
At the beginning of Spring I decided to set some fitness goals and to meet them I worked out with a trainer from Equinox Fitness. Having a trainer push you to work beyond what you think you can do is a wonderful way to work out. I learned a lot and hope I can continue to push myself.
My Spring Equinox Fitness Challenge: Strength Training Details
In a recent session with my trainer Hannah at Equinox Fitness I learned two important tips — details, really — on how to make a couple of exercises more effective. And, as you know, the devil is in the details.
When working your booty doing side squats with a theraband or resistance tubing, you need to step out with your heel.
My Spring Equinox Fitness Challenge
I have been working out with Hannah, a trainer at Equinox Fitness, as part of my Spring fitness challenge. Strength training under her eagle eye has been wonderfully intense. One thing I have noticed is that Hannah consistently hands me dumbbells of a higher weight than I would choose myself.
Speak Up: What Fitness Class Have You Always Wanted to Try?
To keep my fitness life fresh I've tried a variety of classes: Brazilian martial arts Jiu Jitsu, spiritual aerobic dance Nia, and Hooping to learn some impressive Hula-hoop tricks.
Now I really want to try Jukari, a fitness class that combines cardio and suspension. Designed by Cirque du Soleil, it has to be both fun and challenging like Circus Arts.
My Spring Equinox Fitness Challenge
Week one of my Spring Equinox fitness challenge left me sore in all the right places.

Do You Have Any "Back to School" Fitness Goals?
Truth be told, I've been out of school for a while now, but as soon as Labor Day comes and goes, I get that back to school mind set. I want a new pair of shoes, a fancy bag and a fresh start. For me, early fall is almost as loaded as New Year's Day for the re-commitment to fitness goals.
Avoid Starting an Unrealistic Workout Schedule...
A lot of us get very ambitious when it comes to embarking on a new fitness program. We say, "Starting this week I am going to workout everyday for at least an hour. And I am going to do some yoga.
Fit want's to know what motivates you- When it comes to working out, what are you looking to get out of it?
To lose weight- the more the merrier! To lose a few pounds- but mainly I want to be toned and tight! To promote a healthy heart for a long life and a call from Willard Scott!
