The other day, I went to a spin class at the Equinox in Woodbury. And, as soon as I was off the bike, a maintenance crew came in and cleaned wiped it clean. Now that's impressive. I remember at NY Sports Club in Oceanside how the spin instructor used to...
My First Outdoor Workout…
Yesterday when my trainer, Jason Kerr, came to my office for our scheduled workout, he looked at me with a big smile on his face and said, “Do you want to workout outside?” The thought of using the weight machines at the gym didn’t thrill me and the thought of going...
Vibrating Exercise Equipment for Women?
I just started watching Mad Men. Every Sunday morning on AMC from 6 am to 9 am, there are three early episodes of Mad Men. Since I had never seen the series, I decided to watch to catch up to Season 5, which is premiering on March 25, 2012. On...
On Getting to the Gym at 5:50 a.m.
I’m not trying to brag here. I am just stating a point that I got up at 4:30 am this morning to go to the gym. I wanted to check out a boxing class at 5:45 am. I left my house at 5:15 am and had a feeling I wouldn’t...
