When I was in high school, I was so bad at sports that I was assigned Ping Pong as my PE class. For two semesters. Looking back now, I have to laugh, because I was equally as bad at Ping Pong as I was at every other thing I tried. Well, except for the semester …
Okay, guys, you’re probably not going to grasp the whole exercise hair thing (unless you’re Fabio), but, ladies, I know you’re going to understand. When you exercise and you have long hair, you toss it up into a ponytail or a bun to get it out of your face. It also keeps it from sticking …
For about a year now I have been posting my after-workout sweaty selfie pictures in the Mama Exercises Motivation Group. There’s no perfectly done make-up or hair (ha, okay, there’s never that!), but what there is is a lot of sweat and, most days, smiles. In fact, “exercise and post picture” is on my daily …
Some people are not naturally morning people. Thankfully, I’m perfectly content getting up at 4am these days, but that’s not always been the case. When I realized that, for me, the morning was the most effective time for exercising, I knew I had to change my sleeping-in-until-7am ways. If you want to work out in …

It’s almost the new year and with it comes the pressure to make resolutions, start new habits (like exercise), and kick out what’s not working in your life. We have grand ideas, make lists, create tracking charts, save ideas from Pinterest and, generally, do all the work necessary to ensure that we have a great …
What are your exercise excuses and how can you overcome them? Exercise Excuses Slipping from bed in the wee hours of the morning, driving to the gym, working out and getting in some much needed physical – and mental – “me” time. It was fantastic and over the course of three months, I was well …
