So yesterday I gave you a gift guide for Yoga, and today I bring you installment two of Fitmas here at Workout with Di, which is my Fitmas Gift Guide for Runners. I've been more of an off/on runner as it's not something I enjoy. Honestly anything more than a 5k bores me to tears and I've written about my hatred of long distance here incase you wanted to see my reasons why I will never run a marathon. However I am married to someone who is currently training for a marathon (though is currently …

5 Essential planning tools for 2016
Often around this time I get a case of the Winter blues. The weather changes, the days are much shorter and I feel that transition between the seasons deep to my core. I've talked about this before here, and more recently here. However, if there is one thing I LOVE about Winter, it's the New Year! I love New Years. It's like the slate of the year past is wiped clean and you get a brand new start. As a planner, list maker and general organizing freak, I love it, because I get to set new goals, …
Fall Mish Mash Spinning Playlist
So I really wanted to get a spinning playlist done for Thanksgiving and be all themed and kickass. But, I wasn't feeling it. I'm not really feeling fall either. I'm not sure if it's the weather, the post vacation blues, the tragedies happening in the World, or just a lack of seasonal spirit but I'm in a "can't decide what music to play" mood. This happens to me a lot as I am drawn to so many different types of music. Yeah I know everyone says that right? "Oh, my music taste is SO eclectic". Well …
Quick and easy body fat measuring
Accountability is HUGE for weight management and fat loss, and I'm going to admit that I haven't been the best at tracking fitness, weight or fat percentage over the last year. I've been following the more intuitive method of just seeing how my clothes felt, how my body looked naked, and how I felt. That served me well for my 2015 goal of becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher, however for my 2016 goal of bikini competitor that is NOT gonna cut it. I need to know numbers. I'm a big believer in Karma …

Back in June I was in the gym and saw a member with the most awesome outfit. Like something you see in magazines. When I asked her where she got her outfit from? Her answer: "Fabletics". In July I got to see Fabletics at the IDEA World Fitness Convention and almost bought some of the clothes but decided as I'd already spent a small fortune on clothing to wait... and I did wait, till the end of August when I signed up to get my first Fabletics outfit for extremely cheap and couldn't …

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 …
