I incorporate pushups in every class I teach. I find that the pushup is a remarkably effective strength move that fires every muscle in the upper body, including your abdominal region. This week I did a max pushup test in my class (how many pushups with good form can be done in a minute). I …
Time’s a changing
Don't forget to set your clocks back 1 hour this weekend. Ideally when you got to bed on Saturday night so you can get that extra hour of slumber and wake refreshed instead of confused on Sunday morning! While there are pros and cons against this setting the clock back thing, I'm all for having …
October Challenge
Early in October I posed a fitness challenge to my 5:30am boot camp group. On October 31 I would have them do a 5 minute plank and a 5 minute wall squat. I wanted to ratchet up the intensity a bit and provide an end goal that everyone would be working towards, together. The longest …

11th Annual Turkey Trot
To many, Thanksgiving means stuffing their gullet full of tasty fare and then falling asleep on the couch before having a chance to wipe the whipped cream from their face. But here at MBKR central it means so much more! That’s right – it’s time for our 11th Annual Turkey Trot! Our trot kicks off …
Falling into fall
Fall is a great time to get outdoors and exercise. It's actually my favorite season for running because mornings are cool, not cold and even with an Indian Summer it's still warm but not hot. My favorite places to run in the Fall are on trails and fire roads. (Unlike the pumpkin patch above) …
Birthday Musings
Birthdays bring up a lot of feelings. For my peers, we add another candle to the cake and as we blow them out our wish is usually for the health of ourselves and our loved ones and maybe that our anti-aging cream will work a miracle! A birthday for a child is something different. Especially …
