Just popping in for a quick dose of fitness inspiration for your mid-week reading pleasure. Things are hopping in the Fit House.

Diana Nyad’s incredible journey
I’m a People Magazine junkie. I LOVE looking at the celebrity pictures, seeing who’s dating who, who’s wearing what and so forth.

Let it Be.

Being a modern woman, full of confidence, zest and razzle dazzle, I naturally embraced the comment, put on my tightest pair of jeans and proceeded to flaunt my be-donk-a-donk… Continue Reading
