Weight Workout Basics for Lean Sculpted Muscles

Stephanie Weichert — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 21:40:07 +0000

Because of the number of hours spend in the gym either training others or training myself, I routinely have the opportunity to see a select group of people. I watch many of them as they go through the motions, performing the same program day after day. Falling into a workout slump is pretty common. Perhaps, [...]

Get Lean While Lifting Weights

Stephanie Weichert — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:38:41 +0000

How many people really know what they are doing at the gym? Many go to the gym, do a few weighted exercises (think beach muscles) and leave. Did they get a workout? That depends on your definition of a “workout.” How much more could they have accomplished if they had an actual plan? What if [...]

Stephanie Weichert — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:43:01 +0000

Mr. Hill was my 10th grade advanced placement economics teacher many years ago in a small farming community in California where I grew up. The laws of economics in his world were simple: The Handy Dandy Guide (HDG). Mr. Hill would pace the front of the class shouting his mantra, “It’s simple people,” his passion [...]

I’m hungry right now! It must have something to do with that I jogged around my neighborhood in 20-degree weather. I didn’t run as far as I normally have in the past. The roads were covered in black ice. Why did I do it? I still have a fitness goal, whether or not I could [...]

My next blog was going to be about detailing weight loss for clients. Then, after weighing myself the other morning and realized, this month marks a year since I was pregnant with my first child.

A Little Less Talk — A Lot More Action

Stephanie Weichert — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:15:47 +0000

I don’t know about you, but sometimes with all of the other responsibilities that come with managing a family and running a business, I lose the motivation to want to work out. The key is — I still work out. How about those who lose the motivation and DON’T workout? Motivation is a huge factor. [...]

My Favorite Backyard Fitness Circuit

Stephanie Weichert — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:11:39 +0000

Make Your Backyard Your Gym! The other day I was craving a fun, but hard workout. Sick of working out at the gym, I decided to create an outdoor circuit. I strapped a TRX to a tree behind our house, a fitness ladder and cones on the driveway. It took only three minutes to set [...]

Workout on the Fly

Stephanie Weichert — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:30:07 +0000

Yesterday, I was ready to pack the baby up and head to the gym. When the sky opened up and rain began to pour and the thunder boomed, I opted for Plan B. Plan B was to climb the stairs at the house while the baby napped. Unfortunately, the baby was wide-awake and looked as [...]
