Total Health by Elizabeth

Last month, Gary & I went on a short road-trip vacation. Because there wasn't a lot to do in the town (and I wasn't currently reading a book), I decided to buy a magazine - I think it was Redbook. It was a guilty pleasure because I used to read a LOT of magazines, but over the years have slowly weaned myself off of them. Yes, I used to read a ...

Hey there, I just had a few questions that aren't derby related. I am getting married in April and have been working out 4-5 times a week on top of derby now. I am concerned about toning my arms (among other things) because my dress is strapless. I have some okay biceps going due to my job but my triceps are pretty squishy. Do you have any ...

There's been a TON of discussion recently about Heart Rate Monitors (HRM) & the Bodybugg: The bodybugg should have one... Why doesn't the bodybugg have one?... an HRM can do the same thing as a bodybugg at a fraction of the cost...  and so on. So, I'd like to address some of the questions about Heart Rate & the Bodybugg. Heart Rate ...

He asked if he could post a response. Here it is: Guest Post by Shayne P. Norton In the small article I will discuss why the Bodybugg is not for ...

I joined the Texas RollerGirls Recreational Roller Derby League! I don't know what the heck I was thinking. Actually, I know exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking that summer is approaching in Austin, and since I've been running, I enter summer a really strong runner (running 10 - 13 miles on my long runs) & by mid-June, I can barely ...

Where a blog allows one to express thoughts and opinions, and expand on it, "tweeting" is short & concise & basically what's interesting ...

I was talking to one of my clients yesterday about what great exercise walking is, when I realized that everyone else might want to know too!
