Workout

Ditch the idea that when it comes to exercise, longer is better. Enjoy quick workouts -- and your extra time!

Although I'm a fan of anything that helps you live an active, healthy lifestyle, there are plenty of myths and misconceptions floating around about Pilates.

Working in layers helps you develop overall, whole body conditioning, which eliminates weaknesses. Balance is key.

If you can only find 30 minutes (or less) to fit in some exercise, what's the best use of your time -- a cardio workout or a weight training session?

Lately, I have been receiving more and more comments on my website about what to do when one is in a rut.

Regardless of your present level of conditioning, this exercise format can work for you. It can be done by the physically disabled sitting in a chair or implemented by a seasoned athlete.

My philosophy has always been you don't need to work out in a gym to get effective results. As a working wife and mother, I get my exercise where I can get it.

If you think you get a better workout, or feel motivated to do a harder workout when you're listening to your favorite tunes, it's not your imagination. Recent research actually shows that people exert more effort and don't mind doing so when they're pumping to the jams.

Not only are water workouts good if you struggle with obesity, arthritis or sprained or strained muscles, but they're also a great way for a fit individual to introduce some variety into an exercise routine.

You had your champagne ready, your tie, hemline or sweatpants were smoothed out and you were ready to toast to the new year. All, you needed was for that ball to drop, but then someone asked you the dreaded question: "What's your New Year's resolution?"

I'd like to suggest that this simpler approach to making New Year's resolutions can be adapted to any area of your life, whether it be making nutritional changes, giving up bad habits or just taking steps to learn a new skill.
