Two of My Addictions
Do you realize we are all addicted?
This week two of my addictions reared their ugly heads.
Addiction #1
I began my day early training clients before work. My work schedule had me hopping all day long. The end of the day came quickly and I found myself at home in a really bad mood. I usually find [...]
Stressed?
The news is either full of the financial crisis or the Presidential election coverage. Then those two worlds meet and the Presidential election coverage is talking about the financial crisis. These are stressful days we are living in.
What do you do when you’re stressed out?
How do you relax and concentrate your attention on something else?

Loner or Groupie?
When working out do you tend to be more social or anti-social? I guess it depends on what you exercise accomplishes for you. I find myself doing both.

Mirror Deception
We tend to play games with ourselves and live outside of reality at times. There is the unproductive gym rat who only works out in front of the mirror. He sees a fit body that no one else sees. At the other extreme is the healthy, in-shape person who dares only to briefly glance into the [...]
Patriot Day 2008
Transformation is one of the key themes here at Faith First Fitness - spiritual, physical, and emotional. Today, on Patriot Day, we remember a day that transformed all of our lives.
Take a moment to pray for these groups of people today:
1. The victims of 9/11 and their families.
2. Those who still bear the physical and emotional [...]
The Last Excuse
This picture goes with the theme in The Power of a Routine. For those of us with kids it’s time to get after it!
People Watching
People watching should be a sport! Watching how people dress, carry themselves, interact with others, and even just walk can be very interesting. Great places to people watch are the mall and the airport. There are tons of people heading a lot of different directions doing a lot of different things! Another great place to [...]
Video of the Week: Fitness as Ministry
What is a 77 year-old nun doing competing in the Ironman Triathlon (2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a marathon-26.2 mile run)?
Sister Madonna Buder believes exercise is the one thing that can truly harmonize body, mind, and soul. It has become her ministry and a kind of tribute to God. She says to God, “If [...]
