Take the Elevator

2011-03-07 at 12.41.46

Not even when you park on the 7th floor of a parking garage.

Take. The. Stairs.

I met on campus with a group of classmates for our end-of-semester group project planning. I parked in one of the many parking garages. I took the stairs down and on the way back up.

The elevator is only faster at one thing: getting you farther and farther away from your goal.

Stay strong out there folks.

Being a Mom does not mean sacrificing being Fit

Posted by Sean on February 19, 2011

“wherever I am at the moment, do that thing to the fullest. If it’s work, work hard. If it’s training, train hard. And if it’s being a mom, love hard.”

This just proves that with a lil desire and a lot of discipline anything is possible. ‘Life’ is not an excuse – but a reason!
A great article for all you ‘lifer’s out there.

Amplify’d from articles.elitefts.com
The balance of running a Parisi program, doing what I love (training), and being a Mom is hard to find. But what I’ve learned over the years is that wherever I am at the moment, do that thing to the fullest. If it’s work, work hard. If it’s training, train hard. And if it’s being a mom, love hard. No more phone calls while I train, no more writing e-mails while I read books to my kids and no more doing bear walks with the kids just so I can get a workout in. Ok, maybe some compromises can be made.

Where are my Vibram FiveFinger experts? I’m wanting to know how you determine your choice of footwear?

I am purchasing some. I just need some insight.

One better than the other? I will of course be using them for fitness.. maybe outdoor as well.

I would love some feedback or suggestions?

I couldn't even take a week of when I dislocated my shoulder.. I ran and did leg work with a sling on and even did one arm presses and such with my good side lol

Posted by Sean on February 13, 2011

That’s the funny thing about a back  injury – more specifically irritated core stabilizers. Anything and every movement uses your core / back, so I had to stick to stationary bike pedaling and just generalized foam roller work.

I’m right on the line of full recovery, so I’m trying to be smart about it.

But it’s driving me batty. LOL
