What is the Massachusetts Health Care Reform Law? It’s on the minds of many Massachusetts citizens because as of July 1, 2007 all state residents are required to carry health insurance. This raises a lot of questions for a lot of people!
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Linda Harding, a licensed [...]
End of week 2, beginning of week 3…
Day 14 - X Stretch or RestSince I was starting to feel better from my head cold on this day, I decided to rest from all things P90X. Instead, we went for a walk on the beach, which was much better than stretching in the home gym since [...]
Well, this was a rough week. Michael had a cold at the beginning of the week and I had a cold at the end. Needless to say we missed a few workouts. That’s ok, I don’t feel bad about it at all!

No exercise, no running around, lots of water and healthy foods and extra sleep.
It might even mean not going [...]
I have been exercising for over 10 years. Running, biking, swimming, weights, yoga, hiking. I have run road races, marathons and taken 25 mile bike rides without a heart rate monitor. Recently, I decided to buy a heart rate monitor.
I always recommend to my clients that they use one, so I figured it’s time for [...]
On to week 2 of P90X. Weeks 1 through 3 are the same workout. Week 4 is a “rest” and then you move on.
Day 8 was Chest and Back again. This workout is killer. Tony Horton has us do so many different sets of push ups it’s unbelievable. Michael and I are [...]
