I hope you’re having a great Hump Day! I had trouble sleeping again last night. I couldn’t think of anything to do so I browsed through craigslist.

Hmm… seems slightly odd to me. I feel bad that they don’t have a friend or family member that will be waiting for them at the finish line.

And now for the moment you’ve been waiting for:

You’d have to burn 91,000 calories to burn off 26 lbs of fat. Hmm… how’s that for motivation?

I Want Candy! (now sing it out loud)

I WANT CANDY!!!

Its not even Halloween yet and I’m already consuming more “treats” than I should be. Its time to reign it back in before the cold months settle in. I’m challenging myself to keeping the “treats” for the weekend only. No more red wine and chocolate during the week.

Here’s your Tuesday Trivia Question:

How many pounds of candy does the average American consume throughout the year?

Check back tomorrow night for the answer.

It seems J. Love knows the best use of a kitchen towel is for exercising at home! Check out Shape Magazine’s October issue for more kitchen towel moves (Reading this article by another trainer made me smile yesterday).

Now for the moment you’ve been waiting for… The star of the 1977 film “Pumping Iron” is none other than the Gov’na of California and Mr. Olympia 1975.

It seems next weeks edition of Tuesday Trivia, should be a little more challenging.

Fitness is a relatively new career field. When my parents were young no one went into the fitness field, unless they were going to teach P.E. or become a high school/college coach. When I went back to grad school to get a MS in Exercise Science, I don’t even think they understood what I was doing.

While choosing a career in the fitness industry is a modern concept, living a fit life is not. Hippocrates wrote ” that which is used develops, and that which is not used wastes away.”

Here’s your Tuesday Trivia question.

Who starred in the 1970′s documentary that sparked a weight lifting boom in the US?

Clues:

The movie is considered to be about the ”Golden Age” of body building.
While this movie focused on men a second movie was released that focused on women and body building.

I’ll be back… with the answer tonight.
