Look how well pink and black {iron} go together! I saw several gals in pink at the iron today and even one with gorgeous pink lipstick {Go Sarah!}. If you are wanting to do something to change your physique, add curve, lower body fat and boost metabolism, then weight training is where it’s at! I […]

Fit Gal’s Weekly Favorite Exercise: Barbell Back Squat
This week’s “Favorite Exercise of the Week” comes a day early. I’m taking tomorrow off to enjoy a weekend getaway with my husband! This is just the most basic compound move, but very effective: the back squat! You choose your weight and focus on going low and grabbing that full range of motion. I squat […]
Fit Gal’s Weekly Favorite Exercise: Hammer Strength Shoulder Presses
In an effort to promote weightlifting, I love to share my favorite exercise of the week here each Saturday. This week’s fave: Hammer Strength Shoulder Presses!

Fit Gal’s Weekly Favorite Exercise: Battle Ropes

My Story | The Journey | A Baptism

This week’s favorite exercise is an oldie, but goodie, the Bulgarian Lunge!

I added more weight with each set, focus on going low, back […]
Fit Gal’s Fit-Link Friday: 9.19.2014
On periodic Fridays I’ll be making a post with a collection of must-read links that I’ve found. I LOVE to learn and research and when I see an article come my way, I usually can’t stop to read it right then, so I accumulate them in a list and read them later in a […]
