Get fit or die trying
Last week was technically my first workout with SFF since my surgery, but it felt like today was my first REAL workout. Last week we were still careful, gentle, easy. I mean, as easy as SFF ever is that is. Continue reading A return to wreckage, get a grip
So after about a month or so without the joy of Sac Fitness Fairy workouts at Ultimate Fitness, I finally was able to return for a “restricted” workout today. Technically the ankle is somewhat strong, but definitely vulnerable and as Continue reading A moderately triumphant return, cardio without running
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past day, you know about the horrible act of cowardice in Boston that took the lives of 3 people and injured 180 others. While the world recovers, a lot of people ask Continue reading Defiance workout in honor of those lost and injured in Boston
