…with yourself! Do you ever do this:
Yesterday I was driving home from work and didn’t feel like going to stand in the usual cattle line 60+mins for spin class. Maybe a walk? Naaaw, too cold out. I knew I was going to get up early and go to mysore practice this a.m. so I thought [...]

she stays on shape when she’s on tour by simply the act of performing-which to me, could be classified as “interval training” and perhaps…”steady state cardio” to boot?
On tour, she is doing “silks” which is acrobatic exercising in which you are literally in the air suspended by these silky things -functioning as ropes.
But [...]

Get up at 4:45 a.m. to do mysore (yoga) practice?!
Apparently a lot of people!
In fact, people arrive at the studio around 4:30. A. M. You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. And I gotta do my practice so there I was.
* Workout yesterday consisted of: shoulder raises (for rotator cuff) -> [...]

“You can’t really be old in L.A., it’s kind of like a crime.” -Marisa
Well, honey, at 45 years old…YOU do not look old!! If I’d had one of the screenshots from her stripper scenes in “The Wrestler” I would’ve used that. Because she looked smokin’!
Her workouts consisted of pole dancing for that role (which she [...]

I’m getting re-acquainted with the therapy ball for exercising. The exercise options are endless. Or at least enough to fill a good 30mins.
I’m also trying to do intervals with the weight machines and dumbell exercises I do…do. Here’s what to do:
Pick an interval time, either 15 seconds (for dumbells) or 30 seconds (for weight machines). [...]

Who knew?!
Who knew, not only that Dita does pilates and Ashley runs (!) but these outfits qualify as ‘exercise wear’?!
*The following excerpts were taken from Exhale’s e-zine this week: “SLOW DOWN! Winter wants us to slow down. The problem is that we live in a world that asks us to function on a Spring/Fall pace, [...]

* There is an ad that runs on TheFitChick (I don’t pick ‘em) for ’special shoes’. Not the orthopedic or granny kind but new shoes that are *supposedly* part of the trending in fitness footwear. I don’t know about these in particular but I have heard good things about the Sketchers that tone the butt. [...]

Prior to most peoples’ holiday vacations, Kristin Davis took her tropical vacation.
I haven’t found much on her specific “regime” so perhaps she doesn’t have one. She does do some yoga, pilates, and walking. Her eating habits have been described as “healthy” and she’s a frequent (every 3 hours) eater.
She will be 45 years old next [...]
