Weightlifting at Novo Body Fitness in Encino

Posted on July 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Encino weightlifting studio, Miguel Novo, Novo Body Fitness | 2 Comments

Confession: I'm a former cardio junkie who used to only focus on spinning classes, cardio kickboxing, stair climber machines & treadmills. It's not that those fitness classes or exercise machines are inherently bad, it's just that I needed to add some strength-training to my exercise regimen. I used to think (many years ago) that I should not lift weights that are heavier than 5 pounds, for fear that I would "bulk up." Now I know … [Read more...]

Like many of you this past 4th of July weekend, my family chowed down on burgers, hot dogs & other comfort food to celebrate the holiday. If your kids are like the ones in my immediate & extended family, they love a good mac & cheese.

Nikki Diaz is a singer, children’s entertainer, blogger & Zumba fitness instructor. She is a busy mom to an adorable little boy. I am amazed at her ability to juggle it all!

Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator {Review}

Posted on May 29, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: Febreze, laundry fabric deodorizer, Laundry Odor Eliminator | 1 Comment

We had a family party over Memorial Weekend to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. While the kids played happily inside a bounce house, my husband had a spirited game of basketball with his brothers & cousins out on our sports court. Cut to the day after the party when I am cleaning up & stumble across the gym clothes that my husband used. Stinky!! Thank goodness I had a sample of Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator so I could put it to the … [Read more...]

FXP Hula Hoop Workout

Posted on May 19, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Cardio Workout DVD, FXP Fitness, Hula Hoop Workout | 4 Comments

I know from my own experience that if you do not enjoy your workout, then you are less likely to commit to it & be consistent. Personally I like variety & trying new exercise classes. However between work & my daughter’s school schedule, I don’t always have time to hit the gym. So when I heard about FXP Hula Hoop, which is a workout that you can do at home, I decided to give it a whirl! The FXP Hula Hoop Starter Kit comes … [Read more...]
