My theory is that in most cases, we feel like we are losing time if we are not accomplishing the things we set out to do in what we perceive as a "timely" fashion. Do we set unrealistic time frames, are we lazy, or have we set goals that are not achievable?

We know that Facebook, Twitter, etc. have millions of subscribers, but how can that transfer to this business? Perhaps, just perhaps, we have found an answer. Let's face it. These are tough times. People who used to have disposable income, may not have it anymore. As a result, we have had to do a lot of research. The workouts and programs we offer remain at the top of the industry standard, but we need to do something else to s [ + ]

I was listening to my i-pod, jamming to my favorite 70's dance tunes, cleaning the house, and DANCING! Here's the thing: I am not a public dancer type of woman. I am relatively shy in a group of people, and sometimes self conscious about the fact that I am stuck in the 70's. However...At home, well that's a whole different story. I know I am not alone.

» read moreWhat To Do When You Hate To Workout I have some interesting experiences with my non-working retired clients, in regards to exercise. When I ask them what they like to do physically, they answer me with "nothing". When I asked them what they do during the day, they told me that they shop. When I ask for what, the answer varies. Some shop for groceries, some shop for clothing, and some go to the local flea markets just to see what's new. Some even go to the local casinos. A thought occurred to me. Why not turn those shopping and casino times into w [ + ]
