OK- I have to share with you my latest obsession…HOTWORX. Think of it essentially as a private hot box (big enough for 2-3 people to exercise in comfortably) that has a large TV screen that displays a variety of different programs that guide you through exercises and movements. HOTWORX is the first ever fusion of […]
They are LIGHTWEIGHT & VERSATILE. They essentially allow you to replicate cable -pulley movements at a fraction of the cost/ size/ accessibility etc. All you need to do is attach the band to a stationary object (or simply stand on it!) and pull to create resistance at the opposite end. The less lack in the […]
A personal trainer is an invaluable resource in reaching your health & fitness goals. Most people consider personal trainers (PT’s) necessary for two groups of people: those who are new to the gym environment OR those interested in body building or competition prep. However, recruiting a PT either online or in person, could be the […]
Yesterday I had a short conversation about balance and stability with a fit couple from our gym. We noted how important the two aspects of fitness and training are, yet we so easily disregard them or brush them aside when time becomes tight or our bodies become fatigued. The stability ball is such a useful […]
Just because you don’t have a gym membership or a selection of weights or a single machine at home, it doesn’t mean you can’t get in a solid workout! You already possess all the “equipment” needed in order to design a kick-butt/ get-fit program at home. What equipment am I referring to? Your own body. Resistance […]
On Sunday morning, a girlfriend and I participated in our very first Floating Yoga session. Up until about a month ago, I never even knew this existed. I mean, I had seen Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga being exploited all over Instagram, but I had never seen a “floating” yoga class within a pool. I’ve […]
Every morning for the next 3 weeks (at least) I have to do fasted cardio as part of Phase 3 of my training program. I usually LOVE cardio! If it comes in the form of HIIT training or circuits, I’m all about it. But steady state FASTED cardio would have to be the worst form […]
After writing my latest blogpost “Excuses, Excuses”, I received a comment from one of my readers which sparked my motivation to write today’s post. To set the scene, I have attached Cody’s comment below. Very true! I agree with everything you said. Everyone has time and it’s a matter of making fitness a priority and […]
For those following me on Instagram (@simonemckennafitness) you would know about my latest obsession with “spin” classes at the Cycle Bar in Easton. I took my first class here in late November when a friend from the gym invited me to come with her as she was able to “bring a friend for free” and […]
On Saturday morning I went and had a complimentary wellness and health screening, thanks to my husbands workplace. I was a little apprehensive about getting it done as for the past month or so I have been a little “relaxed” with my eating and training plans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still training hard and […]
