back at the gym

I must admit, I needed a little time off to work outdoors with mother nature and my dogs

Reflecting on all I have learned over the years of exercising.. as in life you have to work hard to get results. Now if only I could ween myself off of sugar I think my life would be perfect.  Amidst all the controversy, this little dynamo, Tracy Anderson does a body good.  I can barely keep up with her video's  they leave me panting even in my own living room, now that's a good work out. What are you doing to keep your body and soul good?

Madonna in May

Madonna wears those fishnets like no body else and still looks good! Love this controversial artist with her endless work in progress, her latest she discusses here in Interview Magazine, May 2010 with Gus Van Sant

Is Madonna still working out with Tracy Anderson? She is my inspiration.

I keep seeing really big statement crosses on everyone from the New Jersey Housewives to Madonna

 Love the soft tufts of lace that compliment her soft blonde waves, and those eyes, a makeup artist's dream

mangiare madonna

This recent pictorial for Dolce Gabanna is tantalizing. Madonna with a plate of Spaghetti and in the kitchen no less. I have loved the material girl for years. She is an inspiration from yoga to pilates  and hanging with the hotties. This 50 something aritista is doing whatever it takes to stay present to the possibilities with her constant re-invention.

cardio barre

Yesterday in the lovely city of one of my favorite pizza places. I noticed some thing new. I had heard about Cardio Barre from some valley friends and what a great work out it is, brought to life from the inspiration of modern dance and ballet, with a little street mixed in, ( think of Flashdance). Sounds great but I have Tracy Anderson to work out with. That is her video , a bump and grind mixture of cardio moves with skipping, jumping, kicking, and arms moving enough to get a sweat going. She claims that Madonna, doesn't do dairy in a recent magazine interview which is testimonial to her taut physique. I meant to work out with her this morning but got caught up with my blog hopping and now going to an afternoon matinee showing of Julia & Julia, the movie inspired by this blogger.
Bonjour!
