Got some good stuff for you all this week!

The merry, merry Christmas is about over now, and I hope you all have the best of times with family and friends. The happy, happy New Year is almost upon us. Let's get the workouts in before the next round of parties!!

Merry Christmas!

I love how Sue and Rockstar made the extra effort to make sure their workout gear matched today.

Enjoy your Holiday time with your family and friends!

The barn will be closed after 10 AM on 12/24. No Saturday classes. Regular hours begin on Monday 12/27.

Will also be closed after 10AM on New Year's Eve.

For the exercise addicted and generally crazy people: I'm going to work out at 10:00 AM on Christmas day. Feel free to join me!

PS. Sandy's caroling party is tonight at 6 PM. It's not too late to RSVP. Sandy throws an awesome party!

Just look at the fun we had today! Erin is visiting us while she's on break from school. She will be working out in the am and pm so you all will get to meet her!

Awwww! Timmy!

December 19th 1:00PM 12 Days of Christmas Party. Be there!!

I love the way these two push eachother

Human beings are social creatures. Workouts are way more fun and effective when we do them together. Here is a good article written by a friend of mine on group training.

Not to mention that when you work out at the barn, you kill two birds with one stone. It's usually also a therapy session. Where else can you proudly state what you really think?

Deadlifts, presses, and rowing, oh my!

Good ole fashioned strength and conditioning today!

A few of you have asked my opinion on nutrition and weight loss, so here it goes:

If you are working out consistently and you are not losing weight it is because you are eating too much or eating the wrong stuff. Keep in mind however, that if your weight has remained the same you have probably lost some fat and gained some muscle. In order to lose weight you must consume less calories than you expend. Most people underestimate how much they eat. The best way to see what you are actually eating is to measure and write down everything you eat. A food journal. Try it for a week.

As far as what you are eating: Avoid processed and "junk" foods. Eat eggs, meat, dairy, vegetables, fruit, nuts and whole grains. Don't drink soda and heavily sweetened coffee drinks. Talk to me if you have more specific questions. Everyone tries to make "diet" more complicated than it is. Eat good, whole, natural foods in reasonable quantities and make your body work hard. It really is that simple.

Ned just started working out with us and he's doing great! Welcome Ned!

George and Karen

Are awesome!

Kudos to our 9 AM badass Sandy for doing the workout twice yesterday. You are an animal girlie!

Make sure you have our 12 days of Christmas party on your calendar! Sunday December 19 at 1:00 PM.

Hello Winter!

Party!!

Sunday December 19 at 1:00 PM. 12 Days of Christmas workout and then fun, food and Christmas cheer! Bring a dish to pass and your favorite holiday beverage!

See you tomorrow!

I am thankful for each and every one of you!

Reminder: The barn will be closed Thursday and Friday this week. Regular hours on Saturday. Enjoy your turkey!

What a difference 12 months can make

Tisser stopped by this morning, on another break from Med School. Of course I made him do the 12 days of Christmas workout as he won't be able to be here next month. Not only did he finish this time, look at him! Holeeeeey Cow!

Then he tried out some of his hocus pocus stuff that he's learning in Osteopathic Med School on Rockstar's bummed out wrist.

There would have been more pictures of George,

but he hasn't been here in two days! Dang hunting season. Distracts our boys (and Karen) from training. At least they are out in the fresh air doing some walking, and maybe I'll get a bit or two of delicious venison!

George really does do more than just party

It's just that he works out at the end of the day when my shutter pressing muscles have reached fatigue.
