Can you say VERSATILE? Just say 4all by jofit!

I love being active. I love being fashionable. But I really love easy, stylish and VERSATILE fashionable active-wear. Well, I don’t think anything can compare to my 4all by jofit Draped Ruffle Tank.  If a tank top can be a new best friend… this is it! Just take a peek where the two of us hung out together this weekend. [...]

63 C25K

63 C25K sounds like some kind of secret code. In a way, it is. My husband Barry is 63 years old and he’s training with the C25K program to run his *first 5K race. (There is that little *asterisk because Barry has run a 5K here and there over the years with absolutely no training what-so-ever and lived to regret [...]

From 26.2 to C25K…

Three years ago this September, I stood on the sidelines of the 2008 Downtown Providence CVS/Caremark 5K and watched my grandchildren, my children, many friends and tens of thousands of people compete in the kids’ races and the 5K. Their smiles, their camaraderie, their arms raised in victory and even their sweat inspired me to go home that same day, [...]

5 Yoga Essentials

I am admittedly new to yoga, but since I’ve added it in to my fitness routine, I have noticed a big difference in my flexibility and balance, and it has also added more relaxation and awareness to my workouts all around. I know starting a yoga routine can be intimidating: when I showed up at my first class I didn’t [...]

The FuelBelt R20 2-Bottle Belt is sweet Revenge… !

When I first began to run a little over 2.5 years ago, if you had asked me what a FuelBelt is, I would have answered, “Something for a car.” That may be true, but FuelBelt in the running sense for me has come to mean the difference between running.  Or not. I’ve experimented with running gear. I’ve tried different running [...]

Mother Nature stops this Grandma in her tracks…

Yesterday, I rolled my tuned-up Cannondale out of my shed.  I put on my bike helmet and gloves.  The day was sunny and beautifully June warm… albeit very, very windy. Jane was at my house at the time and came outside to wish me luck on my first ride of the season. But then I realized something.  I hadn’t been [...]

Grandma’s ba-ack on the fitness circuit!

Last week, I thought about rolling my bicycle out of my shed. I thought about registering for some kind of race… to give me something to train for.  Self-motivation aside, I need something like that to keep on keeping on. By the next day, my husband Barry had taken matters into his own hands (and bicycle rack) and delivered my [...]

Back in the saddle again… well, almost.

These are my swimsuits, hanging to dry on little white hooks in my bathtub… Wait a minute.  I haven’t worn one of these colorful little numbers in… um… 8 months. (I think they’re probably dry by now.) This is my bike.  Well, mine is the lime green Cannondale behind my husband Barry’s red one.  See it?  Leaning against the lawn [...]

Grand Opening Ride: Eastern Mountion Sports in Warwick, RI

As we all know, juggling family, friends, career, housework, exercise – and everything else in our lives – is a challenge. Sometimes there are just too many balls up in the air and one (or more) things go on the back burner. For the last few months, I have been a bit sporadic with my fitness routine. Yes, a few [...]

Contest! Spring into the season with a new piece of 4all gear!

My mom and I have already established that 4all by jofit gear keeps us looking fabulous and feeling great while we stay fit – whether we’re running, biking or rock climbing! My mom even ran her recent marathon in her 4all Classic V-Neck Tank because of its comfort and style factor. So we were excited for the chance to try [...]
