Gliding Discs, There is Always Something New
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Have you heard of Gliding Disks? Gliding discs are one of the many exercise tools on the market that tout the many benefits and changes it can bring to your body.

Workout 11.2008 Music Mix
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008LifeOrganizers Colorgized Ride music mix. I like to change my music regularly in all my classes but the Colorgized Cycling is the one I change the least.

March 22, 2008 Yoga Meditation
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Today I taught an aqua yoga class for a friend who was out of town.

Is MonaVie juice really a super food?
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I heard about MonaVie juice a year or three ago and although I think it tastes pretty good I am not necessarily here to tout its amazing illness preventing benefits beyond what fruits and antioxidants are capable of. A friend of mine had just become a rep for MonaVie and because I am a trainer [...]

March 15, 2008 Yoga Meditation
Saturday, March 15th, 2008This week take time to think about how you “think”. Does your mind spend it’s time waiting for the worst to happen? Are you often given to thoughts of worst case scenarios? You are not alone if this describes you but you are creating a bad habit for yourself. Our thoughts lead to our realities [...]
