Man it has been a good lead-in to summer. I’ve been outside doing workouts for a couple of months. Hope you have too. My favorite spots are the track at Glenbard West in Glen Ellyn and the park across from my house. I just grab a kettlebell or two and go. There are benches to [...]
I didn’t quite get to the end of the 30 day challenge before I dropped out. Made it 21 days without sugar. Made it that long without the mindless surfing. Went to visit my folks for Mom’s birthday and had some cookies. They were very good.
The results were that I lost 2 lbs. during this [...]
Here we see Karen working legs. First up is one of the great leg exercises you can do. LADIES! This exercise works the quads and glutes in a functional running position.

Please no excuses about not working out. They just don’t hold water.
Ouch, bad pun.
Birthday today so I’m thinking about age just a little. This is me tossing the sandbag.Check out this woman Beatriz Maullins. She is bench pressing at 87. See her story here.
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 [...]
