Bumper Cars

IMG00248-20100623-1810If I had a bumper sticker on my car it would not say:

  • I’d rather be bowling
  • My other car is a horse
  • I brake for cats (Kidding!)
  • 26.2 (because I don’t think I’ve ever run that distance collectively in my entire life. Not Kidding!)

I think my bumper sticker would say something like…

  • I’d rather be lifting
  • My boyfriend is a dumbbell
  • I’d rather that you were golfing, hunting, or bowling, too
  • My gym could beat up your gym (right, LA Boxing?)
  • I break for Gym
  • My kid could bench press your honor student
  • Earn the right to bare arms. Go to the gym.

Besides “I love Fitness & Spice” what would your bumper sticker say?

Now I really must go to the gym and do some shopping…I hope I don’t get sticker shock!

Been There. Done That.

I’ve been there, done that, and bought too many t-shirts. The worst part? I rarely wear t-shirts.

Yesterday would have been a good day to wear one of the many t-shirts I own because apparently it was wear-your-favorite-t-shirt-day at the gym. I did not get the memo.

World’s Greatest Grandma was in the house.

No Pain No Spain..Well, he was there, too. He’s either still training for or celebrating the 1992 Olympic Games, I can’t be sure.

Not Only Am I’m Perfect, I’m Italian, too. How can you argue with that, right, Dad? I’m not going to lie, the guy smelled of garlic…either that, or the Olive Garden that happens to be across the street from the gym fired up the oven a little early.

Superman was at the gym, too. Who knew the man of steel worked out in Omaha, Nebraska?

I’m pretty much a tank top wearing kind of girl. Usually the words Adidas, Nike, Under Armour, or Champion appear on my shirts. Although, some days I bust out my Grumpy tank that I bought on a trip to Disney. And, sometimes, I’ll wear the t-shirt that the cool kids at L.A. Boxing sent me…

My-Gym-Tan-Back-F-1I love, love, love this shirt, but truth be told, the only thing my gym can beat another gym at is bingo, but that’s a story for another day.

Now I really must go…85112450v6_480x480_Front_Color-Black

Knock Out Your Workouts

I like to try something with my workouts every year. Last year it was belly dancing. That’s right, I said belly dancing. Make fun of me and I just might knock you out because I’m shaking things up and incorporating some boxing classes into my workouts this year. Afterall, the great boxer, Muhammad Ali said…

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

No, I don’t plan on stepping in the ring for a fight like Muhammad, Rocky, or that one girl in the movie Million Dollar Baby. I just want to beat up some punching bags and get a killer workout. My first step is to find a gym in my area that offers group boxing classes. Since there isn’t a LA Boxing gym in my neck of the woods I’m going to have to find an alternative spot for my training. Boxing and kickboxing workouts look like a ton of fun, plus they must burn a lot of calories and a lot of stress!

LA Boxing offers boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts themed group exercise classes, and is also a full service facility with all of the equipment you’d expect to see in a traditional gym. Take a look around, this place looks fierce…

Want to WIN a one month pass to LA Boxing? First, check the gym locator on their Web site and see if there’s a gym in your area (they are in a lot of places around the United States, not just LA)! Then, accept this Random Acts of Fitness & Spice Challenge: Tell us one new thing you are going to try to incorporate into your fitness mix this year in the comments section below. Hurry! This contest will end on Wednesday, January 6th at 11:59 P.M. CST and the winner will be announced back here on Thursday.

Now I really must go trade my belly dancing skirt in for some boxing gloves because this year I’m going to stop floating like a butterfly and start stinging like a bee. Or something like that.
