Chrislip: ‘Sometimes your biggest critic is that voice inside your head’

This past week we had our third FIT Challenge at NOMs in Sandusky, which is FIT Challenger Leah Collins’ home turf.   I had a good time catching up with Leah and witnessing the spin bike she writes about; I must say it is pretty cool.   The challenge was a timed sprint: pick up a weight, run...

Collins finally takes her friend's diet advice

I do believe I have plateaued. The past two weeks, no matter what I've done, my weight has not changed. Annoying! At least it's not going up, though. The new Helix machine is a pain in the butt. I get on there and feel it immediately. It makes me dizzy because it's a swaying motion. Side to side...
