Sundays are my favorite days to have “me days.” There is usually some pampering, but my absolute favorite thing is exercising for multiple hours. I know that sounds strange, but I’ve gotten really good at shutting off when I am working out. I focus on the moment and whatever ridicu[...]

Fitness DVD Review: XTrain Super Cuts
*I received the DVD for free. The opinions are my own* This was quite possibly the most daunting fitness DVD I have encountered in a long while. Maybe it was because I know what metabolic workouts entail, or maybe it was the break down on the back of the DVD and all the equipment that’s [...][...]

Buying a Workout DVD
So we already know I have a fitness DVD addiction. It has taken me some time to figure out which ones work best for me and why. I have some duds that I have done once and never picked up again, and I have others that are my “at home gym” staples. With new options [...][...]

Ballet Body: Core
*Standard Running On Veggies Disclaimer: I received the DVDs for free, opinions are my own* There was a time that I wanted to be a ballerina badly, but 10 year old Laney didn’t have the flexibility or the grace to keep that up. So when I am surrounding by Broadway dancers in Figure 4 or th[...]

DVD Review: Tara Stiles This Is Yoga
I’ve had Tara Stiles latest DVD release–This Is Yoga– for probably a little over a month and a half now, and I have yet to do every practice. That’s because this new four-DVD series ($20, amazon.com) has so many flows that I just haven’t been able to get to them all. I [...]
Halfway Through Physique 57 November Challenge
I am halfway through the Physique 57 November challenge and so far I have seen no changes. Have I done every workout? No. Have I done more than 50 percent of them? Yes. So I feel like I should see SOME difference. I will take 3/4 of an inch difference. The truth is I know [...][...]

Workout Out Review: Edge Yoga
I finally took the plunge on Friday and tested out a yoga studio near me–Edge Yoga. I haven’t been to a proper (I say proper, meaning it isn’t a class at Gold’s) yoga class since moving to D.C. and I really needed it. I marched myself over to Mark’s Yoga I class expecti[...]
Pure Yoga: Restorative Yoga
I’ve always thought of yoga whether it was intense “power yoga,” or “slow flow” as a relaxation technique. Something to take my mind off of things for awhile and give my body a good stretch. I had never thought about trying “restorative yoga,” but after a ha[...]
