Yvette Rose: Joulebody for the body, mind, and soul | January 19, 2012

“The way I see detoxing is a gentle change of routine that moves our body processes into their most optimum operating function,” Rose states. “Whenever we change our habit we pull ourselves out ruts. And there is nothing certain in life but change.” What is proven is that certain foods make our bodies perform in certain ways. “It’s the old garbage in, garbage out theory,” she laughs. “And no one needs a double blind study to trust that.” For those who pay even the smallest amount of attention to their bodies, it’s obvious that when one ingests nutritious stuff, the body … Read More »

“How old are you? You look really young.  You’re about 30? 35? I’ll wait until you get up from the table so I can see your body.  That will tell me.” (Personal Correspondence)

The above is what was said to me a few days ago while out with a group of girl friends.  Wow! First, I must say, thank you to my parents for the good genes!  Second, I am so very glad that I work-out regularly as I know that being physically active and eating food that is good for my body and soul (chocolate!) is the fountain of youth.  … Read More »

To Pole or not to Pole; That Is The Question | August 26, 2009

It was a balmy August night and I had something on my mind. Not anything worth serious chatter, just an idea I had floating about. I have been debating whether or not it is skanky to have a pole in the bedroom.

Why Do You Exercise? | May 21, 2009

Fitness is necessary for our mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and environmental well being. As an “order aficionado” it has become apparent to me over the years of helping people get through their material junk and give it some order, that if you have clutter in any of these areas of your being or life, you simply cannot function at your optimal.

Nintendo Wii: The New Home Gym | February 4, 2009

Recently I bought a Nintendo Wii, not for my children, but for myself.  I am determined to loose weight in a non conventional way, and what better line of attack than through fun?  I have recently learned that I am not disciplined enough for gyms and other “normal” exercise methods.  I often feel intimidated in the gym setting and lets face it…when I am at home, I think of one million other things I need to be doing instead of exercising.  Watching a video or television show with chiseled bodied hosts and hostesses who effortlessly perform physical tasks barely breaking … Read More »

Promise Setting To Get The Body You Want | October 17, 2008

I tell this story often, but it bears repeating.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger first came to America he was a competitive body builder. However, his upper body dwarfed his lower body. They didn’t match.

He decided that he was going to fix the problem.

And what did he do to fix it?

muscular development up to the same level as his upper body.

Did it work?

Well, he went on to win the Mr. Olympia title … Read More »

Work Your Body! | September 26, 2008

I work out with a personal trainer. This is a luxury for me –a way for me to treat myself well. I regularly hear spectators to my grueling fitness regime yell out “I should be doing that.” But they don’t.

Excuses are paralyzing. Action is rewarding.

I started working out with my trainer Curtis a couple of years ago. We work out in the morning. This is great for me because it starts my day of with “me time” doing an activity that is beneficial for me. I’ve noticed when working out in the morning my eating habits tend to be on … Read More »
