How Star changed her physique.
It's great to be back and blogging again. I recently did a promotion with Gilt City and have taken on a bunch of new clients. I love fresh blood! I love training people I've never trained before because they are a blank slate and, if they choos...
Finally, I welcome you to the new website! Take a look around. My plan is for this to be a continual "work in progress". My blog updates will now appear here (no longer on blogspot) so please bookmark here. It's been 6 months from the vision to the execution. I learned A LOT about the working of the internet, web services and design. Stuff I had no idea about. It's fair to say I experienced what a newcomer to exercise must feel: overwhelmed and having serious doubts I could even finish what I started.
There were bumps in the road, for sure. Having no experience with web design services and a limited budget, I went with a small design firm I found through a website called resourcenation.com. Resourcenation is place for independent entrepreneurs to go and find specialized services for whatever their needs might be. I filled out a request form, got a few bids, and went with this one firm who paid a lot of attention, and was priced well below what I found locally in LA.

Today, I'm paraphrasing something I read on Crossfit's website over the weekend to expand upon my post about focus. What's the difference between exercising and training?I love this topic because I think it gets to the heart of why some people ...
Today, I feel like talking about what gets in the way of achieving our goals. Whatever the goal is. I'll focus on physical fitness goals, but we can apply this discussion to any area of our lives. I believe that achieving your physical fitness...
Thanks to all who posted questions for blog topics. I was most intrigued by the question posed by my friend Michele: "What should you eat for dinner after a cardio workout? After a strength training workout?" My initial reaction and hunch w...
This is a fitness blog dedicated to matters of fitness and wellness. Every so often, an event occurs that captures our collective attention: 9/11, the Columbine massacre, Oklahoma City bombing, and now the tragic shooting of Congresswoman Gab...
Aaaaahhhhhh! That's the sound of my relief that the holidays are over! Don't get me wrong. I love the holidays, love to see my family and travel. But I also love my normal, everyday life and am happy to get back to it. I was away for 2 week...
