South Central Regionals Envy

All my friends are here. I’m having a great time at Food & Wine in Aspen, so I’m not exactly complaining, just having a little Regionals envy.

Off-Balance Snatch Balance

So apparently I’ve never snatch-balanced before. Yesterday’s .com workout was 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 snatch balance and I thought, oh yay! a skill we hardly ever work on! Um. Make the “never” not “ever” for me. After a light warmup, I loaded up 105#, thinking it was a great starting place before my “work” reps. Ha. Good one, [...]

Review: Fila Body Toning System Toning Resistance Pant

I promised this review awhile ago but totally forgot! After my adventures wearing them for 14 hours in the airport, I remembered. Originally posted at endlessbeauty.com, where I also explore if toning clothes are help or hype (hint: you know the answer, but it can’t hurt to wear them). With the proliferation of toning shoes [...]
