Ignoring the Chill, But Keeping Winter Workouts Inside

Yesterday over on Fit Bottomed Mamas I talked about my goal for this winter: Not letting the cold, snowy, dark, dreary days keep me from getting out and active. Hating the cold is as much a part of me as not being a morning person. Unless I’m on the ski slopes or there is snow [...]

Snowboarding: My Fit Bottom Survived…Barely!

I suffer from a problematic syndrome called “But that Won’t Happen to Me.” I tell you all this because as I sit here typing, I’m STILL perplexed that I’m sore from my first snowboarding adventure in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.
