Haley is pregnant. Who would’ve guessed. She is exercising just like always. She feels better when she works out. She and the baby will be healthier because of it. And she will recover faster after the baby is born.
Please no excuses about not working out. They just don’t hold water.
Ouch, bad pun.
Yes, it is just about time to train outside again. I am a personal trainer in Glen Ellyn and I can see everyone running the stairs and sprinting at the track again. Or we just might pull out the rowing machine and kettlebells at the park. The weather was great today. …
My friends and clients Phil and Rita are off on a new adventure into the Colorado Rockies. Colton will miss Phil and Cheetah.
This is from their last workout with me (so far). Rita finally rocked the Hard. Not Easy shirt and everyone enjoys doing burpees with a side leap. Hope you enjoy. Keep a safe [...]

Back at the track for about 6 weeks. Had a knee issue for a while in the spring.
I have been working on running fast as I can. It feels great. It trains my legs nothing else, especially my hammys. And it keeps my body fat low. Usually do some active warmup, lunges and leg swings. [...]
It snowed this morning again. BUT, this week the word is temps in the 50s. Whoa.
Let’s get out into the outdoors and run, jump and breathe. No more stale air and stale recession chatter. Life is good. Let’s enjoy it. See you outside.
Thanks to Haley for the tip!

This is something I’ve been talking about for many years based on my experience. Keep your workouts hard and intense to keep your performance high. Oh yeah, you will look younger too.
Did I mention you will keep your weight down as well?

There have been a lot of 80° days lately. You need to get outside for some interesting cardio. Get away from the treadmill. Get onto a bike. Go to the track.
Here is what to do at the track. Jog a couple of laps to warm up. Then run half the straightaway as fast as [...]
