Monday, May 14th, 2012 by Amanda McKenzie
There is nothing more frustrating than an exercise plateau. One week your going along loosing weight, gaining muscle, seeing results and the next…nothing. Like you hit a brick wall. Now it may not happen quite that fast, but plateau’s are one of the most annoying things when you are consistently working out.

Listen to Your Body & Reap the Benefits
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 by Amanda McKenzie

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Monday, April 9th, 2012 by Denise Howie
The weather is teasing us right now, but things have been feeling more like summer than early spring for quite some time! That means more time outside for kids and yard work for parents.

Tracksters
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012 by Amanda McKenzie

Sports and Shenanigans
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 by Amanda McKenzie
Two weekends in a row I’ve competed in two very different fun and unique athletic events. Competing in different athletic competitions are still some of my favorite things to do for fun…but the shenanigans that happen before, during and after might be even more fun!
