I've had my Peloton since August 11th. Well, now it's "the family's Peloton" - we all have accounts and when I come home from teaching boot-camp there's usually a Honsberger family member's tuchus parked on it.

Is a Virtual Race In Your Future?
2020 was kind of a bust as far as competing in races. Most events were flat-out canceled and others transitioned to a virtual event. My cousin's husband was scheduled to run the London Marathon last year and it was postponed not once, but twice and then it went virtual. His course consisted of large loops …

Tip #4 – Dance with the One that Brung You
Kiss your husband or significant other every time one of you leaves the house and tell them you love them. Even if you are angry at the time. Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary. At the time of our wedding (on April Fool's Day, no less) we had been together for …
Tip #3 – A Little Money Goes a Long Way
Invest in a gym membership, classes or streaming to help keep you motivated and on track. Ok, you've made a decision to get off your tuchus and get in shape. In this day and age there are thousands of ways to go about it. You can download an app, troll IG and find some #fitspo, …
Tip #2 – Squad Goals
Find a buddy to hold yourself accountable to your goals. This tip, #2 on my list of 52 things is, I think one of the most valuable. It's one thing to set your fitness goal, craft your plan of attack and then completely fail at the execution. It happens all the time. Working to reach …
