I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths around the internet with Canadian Personal Trainer, Jacqueline Gradish for a while now. Her web site, as well as her fitness advice are always outstanding.

Weight training not only helps you keep your muscles and bones strong as you age, but it can also help you to literally change the neuronal patterns in your brain-altering your brain to increase confidence and self-esteem. You just need 2 40 minute sessions a week! Be sure the weights are heavy enough to fatigue your muscles near the end of your repetitions. Make sure to use 5 lbs or more for most exercises.
I used to live in Seattle where fresh wild salmon was pretty easy to find. I have been craving it lately, so I found this yummy recipe that I tried last night. Salmon is a notoriously fatty fish, of course, but most of the fat is of the heart-healthy kind.
What most people don’t know is that even slight changes in posture and incorrect technique while performing weight-lifting movements can cause great injuries. Below Stacy lists the top five exercises that people do WRONG in the gym, and how to correct your own technique to avoid getting hurt.
Have back up plans for all of your workouts. For example, you may plan to workout for an hour after work by doing both cardio and strength training. Then your boss asks you to say late. Your workout time is now limited to 30 minutes. Know ahead of time exactly what workout you’ll do in that shortened time period so that you don’t waste precious workout time or worse decide to forego it all together.
I had never heard of KURU and was excited when they contacted me to provide a review. I am totally a comfy shoe gal. I have picky feet and most shoes are not comfortable for me. Like most women, I will wear shoes for a night out to look stylish, but most days, I just want to be comfortable and feel supported from the ground up. Of course this starts with a great shoe.
The KURU Draft is one such shoe. I LOVE IT! There are very few shoes that feel comfortable when you first put them on. There is often a “break-in” period. These shoes felt like they molded to my feet in about 2 minutes. I wore them for the rest of the day all around the house. I love them so much, I may need a pair for indoor slippers and a pair for outdoors.
