“If you were fit before your pregnancy, a Pilates program will quickly help restore your figure and your energy.”
“I believe in sensible, moderate exercise. I try to do something every day, at least 20 minutes per day. I don't think it's realistic to ask people to work out 90 minutes a day.”
“No gift list would be complete without a mention of fitness.”
“Fortunately, good posture - like poor posture - is habit forming.”
“I'm a working mom, so I know that getting the job done, feeding the kids, organizing family get-togethers, and putting the finishing touches on sixth-grade projects all take precedence over exercise.”
“Exercise is a great way to get rid of stress and anxiety. It clears the head and gets rid of all that stuff that is annoying you and really isn't all that important. It filters out any grouchie-ness - it's a great mental filter.”
“It's every woman's dream: looking fabulous in her favorite pair of Levi's.”
“Stretching exercises promote flexibility, so you move fluidly.”
“We use our shoulder muscles to accomplish practically every pulling, pushing, and hoisting task we do (they really do carry the weight of the world!), so they're a great place to start building strength.”
“My unique contribution to the fitness industry is bringing fitness into the home through cable, VHS, DVD and now digital formats.”
“Fiber and other nondigestible carbs work wonderful weight loss magic.”
“One of the easiest ways to get a buff back is with exercise bands. They're inexpensive, and you can increase resistance by moving a hand to shorten their length.”
“As you build muscle, remember that the scale may stay the same, but you won't.”
“Aim to eat healthy six days out of the week, and then enjoy what I call a 'super splurge' on the seventh day. It helps you enjoy yourself and not feel so deprived, so you're ready to recommit to healthy eating the following week.”
“We have to stay healthy no matter how old we are.”
“When someone tells me that I look great, I say thanks and then share a secret: It's not the clothes or the makeup; it's my posture.”
“When my jeans feel too tight, I know I need to cut back on desserts and step up my workouts.”
“Moves that build powerful core muscles (abs, back, hips, and pelvis) help support your spine, so you stand straighter. They also improve your balance, which starts to deteriorate in your 40s as these stabilizing muscles weaken.”
“To maintain good health, you need to exercise almost every day - 30 minutes is recommended, that's what I personally do - and you need to eat right.”
“If you think a bare midriff is only for teens, think again.”
