With dietary changes in place, you’ll be well on your way to correct your body’s current tendency to hang onto and store calories as fat.  If you consider your metabolism as being similar to a campfire, the diet changes will help you make sure your kindling and wood is dry and ready to burn.  So [...]

In Part 1 of ‘Fab Abs after 40′ I discussed that more than killer ab moves are required for great abs.  Truth is, you are better served by focusing more on overall fat loss. Perhaps you are concerned because you are carrying a disproportionate amount of fat around your belly.  This is not natural but [...]

I get asked regularly how to get great abs.  As a woman over 50 who was not only fat but carried a lot of it in my gut, people want to know how I achieved my now flat, fab abs.  So I’ve decided to address the subject and reveal the often overlooked issues that prevent [...]

When I worked in the corporate world I used to travel, not frequently, but regularly.  Now I am blessed to work for myself and I travel infrequently.  But this week I’ve had to deal with a trip that will last over a week and since I just finished my personal Spring 2001 transformation, I hardly [...]

I continue to be amazed at what the human body is capable of.  The goes doubly so for my own body.  I’ve really been working hard and eating properly as I have been on a personal 90 day transformation.  But today I was blown away when I was able to get out 10 pull ups [...]

I get this regularly.  Women write to me and say they want a tighter tush, one with some nice curve.  They want to replace the wide, flat and generally low slung rump with a better booty they once had. The good news is that this is entirely possible.  You can get a great booty if [...]

If you’ve been on the fence about getting into shape, maybe a discount is the motivator to get you going. From now until January 31st (2011) you can buy Chalean Extreme at a $30 discount. Chalean Extreme is a combined resistance training & cardio program that is viewed by some as the woman’s alternative to [...]

I was having a fun conversation with my friend Ashely Dawn on Facebook today.  It was fun because while Ashley and I don’t agree 100% on workout protocols (although we are mostly in agreement), we were having this conversation with respect and goodwill.  However, it occurred to me that some terms we used in this [...]

This morning my son’s friend who normally gives him a lift to school was sick so I ended up jumping in the car and driving him to school this morning.  Now as I work out of my home office, I don’t actually spend much time driving around town.  The reason why I bring this up [...]
