Here’s My Home Gym. What Does Yours Look Like?

I’m always interested to know what kind of a setup other fitness bloggers are working with in their home gyms. Do they have fancy weight machines, $3000 treadmills and other workout equipment?

I’m Back On The Wagon

Earlier this week my wife and I decided that we needed to finally start exercising again, and actually watching what we eat.  We had slipped into a bit of a malaise where we didn’t care much what we were eating, or where we were eating.
So this weekend we made a pact with each other that [...]

It’s been a few days without a post

I’ve been lazy
It’s been a few days since I posted here on Quick To Fit.  It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, and my fitness goals have pretty much gone by the wayside.  I know that sucks, but sometimes that happens.
At the beginning of last week I got an infection in my eye that caused [...]

Running. Love it or leave it?

One thing I used to just hate doing was running.  I would rather die than go running.  Running is hard, it makes you sweat and it always leaves you as a heaving sweaty lump on the floor.
Well that’s how I used to think about it at least.
Since I’ve been working out and trying to lose [...]

Monday morning fitness blog roundup!

The weekend is over, and I have to admit I didn’t get as much exercise as I had hoped. Yesterday I didn’t do anything except go for a walk with my wife, which is better than nothing, but still not what I had hoped. My diet was also a bit lackluster as we attended [...]
