This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gaiam. All opinions are 100% mine. While I’ve found a great local studio for Pilates, finding a similar place for yoga hasn’t been that easy. That’s why I was excited to see that Gaiam has introduced GaiamTV, the first streaming video subscription offering [...]

I reviewed these exercise video DVD workouts: Kettlebell workout DVD with Bob Harper – my favorite exercise [...]
Earlier this week, I reviewed the Fitbit and how it could inspire you to be more active. I just got word from the folks at the Fitbit company that they’re providing me with one Fitbit tracker to giveaway here at This Mama Cooks! On a Diet. To win all you have to do is share [...]
Starting today, iVillage is partnering with the President’s Challenge Program to help 1 million Americans get active – the Million PALA Challenge (MPC).

My husband and son are avid golfers and they’re getting my daughter, Lucie interested in playing golf, too, this summer. (Having a set of really cool, pink clubs from Santa certainly helped.) That’s why I wanted to share with you that not only is July Family Golf Month, but this week (July 4-11) is Take [...]
This sounds extremely counterintuitive, but this is actually a fairly common problem. First of all, make sure that the weight you’re gaining is indeed fat and not muscle. You should be able to easily tell if you check your pudge levels regularly – but if not, you can always go to a gym or your [...]

Since hurting my back and developing sciatica last year, I’ve had to cut back on exercise. Needless to say keeping the weight off has been a challenge – one that I haven’t met. It was time to start working out more often and at a higher level if I’m going to lose the 10 pounds [...]
I’m always looking for ways to exercise and stay fit and healthy on the road. This year it’s been a challenge with multiple airplane trips. Not only have I gained a few pounds, but I’m tired of being sore and jet lagged after a long flight. So with another trip on my itinerary, I plan [...]
Today’s guest post by Diane Raymond is about sciatica – something I’ve been dealing with for the past couple of months. Sciatica…oh what a pain!

Often recognizable by an acute pain in your derrière [...]

Most weight loss and diet bloggers do a lot of weekly update posts. I haven’t since going back to Weight Watchers earlier this year and starting on their Momentum Plan. You know why? Because reading that I’ve lost 1 pound here, or gained a few pounds back there, is boring. Well, it’s beyond boring to [...]
I went to my doctor for my yearly exam and was told I weighed 10 pounds less than last year. That certainly made my day. Of course, having a weight loss and fitness blog helps as does rejoining Weight Watchers earlier this year. But for the first time I’m doing Weight Watchers and working out. [...]
I mostly work out at home mostly for the convenience of it. In the past, I’ve done yoga at dance studios or used university or recreation center facilities to exercise. This summer, after dropping the kids off at summer camp, I plan to stop by the local rec center a few days a week to [...]
