This is a new section on Flecks of Lex where I share workouts that target major muscle groups, and that can be done quickly with little to no equipment. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I don’t have enough time in between activities (be they work events, family functions, or volleyball games) to get…
Last month, I completed my first Tabata workout on the treadmill, courtesy of Carrots ‘n Cake. It was challenging, but fun. I made some modifications based on my fitness level, but overall, it was a wonderful workout. After that workout, I decided to begin developing my own Tabata treadmill workouts.

So, this is cool: My friend wrote a book! My BlogFest friend and fellow Sweat Pink Ambassador Lyn Lindbergh wrote a book, Couch to Active. This is such a neat book! It provides a roadmap to becoming active if you’ve been living a sedentary lifestyle, but it also provides insight into how to achieve your…

That face is the face of a woman who got her butt kicked. (Okay, that’s obviously a dramatic overreaction, but you get the idea.) I have taken the Luscious Legs and Arm Candy, Kettlebell Chicks, and Kettlebell 101 Swing Series classes taught by the phenomenal Anabell Browne. I have sweated my face off, I have nearly barfed…

Okay, so I made this acai bowl yesterday that was delicious and super easy! I’ll reason with you guys: I almost never measure my ingredients when I’m creating a recipe. Sometimes I do, but a lot of it is trial and error, or just good old eyeballing. I use frozen acai puree from Trader Joe’s…
