Training with Tricia Studio is ALL DONE!

I wanted to take a few minutes to give you a glimpse of the fitness studio where I train some of my clients. I have a few little things to add, but that will be no big deal.  Take a look around…         Kris, my husband, has done a ton of work to get this project [...]

Lose It!

I always tell my clients that tracking their food and fitness is important.  Tracking is a great way to hold yourself accountable.  There is a new application out for the iPhone… Lose it! While I do not have the iPhone, my husband and others do and they are giving this little application a try. If you have [...]

LIFE = Look Incredible and Feel Extraordinary

My Favorite Fitness Gifts

There was an article on MSNBC: Frugal fitness: gifts for under $50 and on the Today Show: Get your gift list into shape! 10 fitness presents. Just like Oprah I have a few of my own favorites: 1.

Tiki Barber’s Pure Hard Workout

On the Today show this morning Tiki Barber talked about his new book Tiki Barber’s Pure Hard Workout. It is my understanding from the Today show spot that Tiki’s book returns the focus of our fitness programs to functional training.  Exercises such as dumbbell chest press, bench dips, squats, and lunges are at the heart [...]

Losing the “pooch”

I have a few readers out there looking for answers.  Post pregnancy weight loss is a big deal.  Many women are so concerned with losing the baby weight and fitting back into their pre-pregnancy clothes that they want to start their exercise program the day they are released from the hospital.  One thing you need [...]

What do Wii think of Active Life Outdoor Challenge

“Wii” now own Active Life Outdoor Challenge.    Active Life appears to be geared toward the younger crowd, keeping most of the exercises fun and intended for kids, while at the same time being enough of a workout to keep the adults busy.  Mason (6yrs) and Anna (5yrs)  were immediately interested in getting in on the action, the [...]
