I'm all about getting BANG for your buck and this week I wanted to show you a total body workout using the agility ladder with my workout and video that I cleverly titled: Total Body Agility Ladder Workout. I know... I'm a literary genius. Anyway, for some reason when people think of agility ladder they hit a wall and think it's only good for upper body cardio training, not so friends, not so. So this week's workout includes cardio, strength, upper body, lower body and core! The full video is …

Review: Endurance Pro Agility Ladder
When I passed my NASM personal training exam, it changed the way I train, not just clients but myself too. The OPT model of personal training really allows for all types of goals, and if you are a runner or athlete then one of those components of the OPT model is SAQ - Speed, agility and quickness. This is a part of most training programs that gets severely overlooked. Yet, not only can it help prevent injury, help athletes get faster, but is also great for weight loss as it can TORCH CALORIES …
5 minute medicine ball workout
Woohooo two posts this week! Amazing ;) Ok seriously though I am getting back on track!!! I've had a niggling shoulder and ankle injury but things seem to be getting better with those too. I know my body and it's responding well to the cross training I've been doing with adding in more yoga and swimming which is GREAT! Last week I managed to do twisting half moon pose and this week I did crow and held it for about 5 seconds, no falling on my face. Loving yoga right now. I also did wheel for the …
Music: Les Mills workout music
Firstly apologies for not getting the new bodypump and cxworx playlists up on the blog yet. I'm currently waiting on iTunes to approve my application for a collections/iMix account. Hopefully once that goes through I will have access again to creating playlists for you to purchase in iTunes. Until then I thought I'd share that Les Mills are finally getting with it and realizing that class members want the music. Last year they released four albums via iTunes for all the Les Mills music …
5 Workouts you need to stop doing in 2014
This post is inspired by an article I saw last week on NBC news and I thought I'd add my twist to. The article listed their fitness fails which included Pole Dancing, Yoga Mash ups, and stiletto workouts. The article had some great points and I thought to myself "Self, that's a great idea for a blog post"! So here are my 5 workouts that need to just slink off into fitness mediocrity in 2014. Cycle class mashup madness The above mentioned NBC article mentioned yoga mash ups, but one of my …
One little word – 2013
As I mentioned last year, each year I choose a word to reflect my goals, hopes and "theme" for the year ahead. It's like a mantra of how I choose to feel and approach situations that may arise in the upcoming 12 months. Previous years words have included: Focus – 2007: This was my first year doing this and I just wanted to refocus my efforts, and find some drive to complete projects. Having a word to guide me through the upcoming year really helped narrow my focus and stay on …
10 Reasons I love AFAA
AFAA wasn't my first fitness certification. It was a "newcomer on the block" to England back in the mid 90's when I was entering my fitness career. I wanted to get my AFAA as it was the only Personal Trainer certification in our area at the time. Back then certifications were few and far between, unlike now where everyone and their mother are holding PT certs! Anyway I decided on AFAA and attended the one day workshop to attain my group exercise instructor certification. Then 3 months later took …
