A friend is starting up a women's running club in Hoboken for beginner and experienced runners. They will be leading runs Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings. You can find out more at Elysianettes or send an email to elysianettes@gmail.com

Due to disagreements with the City I have decided to make the remaining Saturday classes "mobile classes." We will meet as usual at Pier A at 8:00 am and class will move around town from there.

With one month remaining of outdoor classes I am planning another breakfast at The Turning Point on Sunday October 12th (rain date Oct. 19th). Join me for a great workout and then kick back and share some stories over breakfast.

Ever wonder when the best time is to exercise? In reality it's best to find a time you can set aside consistently for your workouts. But there are actually pros and cons to working out at certain times of the day. Research shows that morning workouts are best to build consistent habits. Physiologically the best time to work out for both strength and endurance is late in the afternoon.

Everyday stress from work and life has a way of creping up on us. Add on a weak economy, rising costs of living, and questions on Wall Street and stress can become chronic. What you may not realize is how chronic stress can affect your health and lead to weight gain. Stress releases Coritsol which, under chronic stress conditions can build up and slow your metabolism.
