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 [...]

Last week I turned 52.  I’m pretty proud of that.  Well, more specifically I’m proud of how fit I am as a woman over 50, a woman post menopausal, a woman who at 50 was fat. Turning 50 does not mean you are now on the gradual old age slide to a life of infirmity [...]

This weekend was really busy!  On Saturday I did yard work for about 2.5 hours (some mowing and some beds upkeep).  Then on Sunday we were at a bridal show as vendors.  Bridal shows are a lot of fun but they are a lot of work.  We had special circumstances which required us to show [...]

Hi Everyone, It’s been a few months since I introduced you to Bob (see my original post about success being a journey at http://www.pressplayfitness.com/?p=687). If you remember, Bob had been a basic couch potato for over 25 years and it showed. He started P90X to see what it could do for him, he initiated his [...]

After the first 90 days on P90X/Insanity I was amazed at how far I had come so I wasn’t sure what to expect with round 2. But I have to say I’m really pleased with the results!
