DeLallo Quoted in Healthy Life

At some point or another, most of my clients and acquaintances have probably heard me say, “There is no good excuse to not exercise.” My thoughts on barriers to exercise and how to overcome them have now been immortalized in the January/February issue of Healthy Life Magazine.

Workout Video: Curtsy Lunges

The name of this lunge says it all–I wonder if Natalie Portman used these to train for her role in Black Swan? Curtsy lunges place a little more emphasis on the outer thigh than a regular lunge and you’ll pretty much look like the coolest person in the gym when you’re doing them (and, like [...]

Indoor Winter Workout

Well, we’ve certainly had our share of what I like to call “the white plague” this winter, and it has made outdoor cardio difficult for those of us who aren’t ice skaters or snowshoers. Luckily, there are some easy ways to keep the calorie burn going through the dark months. I know many of you [...]

Pumpkin Chase 5K Race

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I love getting dressed up (favorite and most-used costume: Turn Back Time Cher) and I love hosting my annual party. Clearly, hosting party=cheat day so I let loose last night, sucking down some of my homemade mummy rummy punch and eating deviled eyeball eggs and other borderline bad-for-you, [...]

Stamford: Cummings to Cove Run

Here’s a nice route I ran today from Cummings Park to Cove Island. Not only is it a scenic and fairly low-traffic route, it’s also very versatile. It can be as short as 4 miles (if you just run from the middle of one park to the middle of the next and back) or as [...]

Workout Video: Lunge Combo Exercises

This video has been posted in the Workout Video of the Week section of my homepage for way too long, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. Well, that section has since been refreshed with the latest and last video in the lunge series, so it was time to move this one into the archives. As my [...]

A So-so Return to Running

After a viral ear infection kept me sidelined for a few days, I returned to the great outdoors today for some exercise. I wanted to mix some jogging and walking so as to not overdo it, but I was feeling pretty good. I thought choosing a route with some hills (uphill is when I did [...]

Mid-week Workouts

Right now, I’m in the midst of a two-month period where I’m doing a split routine, meaning I’m training a few muscle groups each day for my strength training workouts. Tuesday was arms and shoulders day and I made sure to keep the workout aerobic by putting some cardio intervals between strength exercises (jumping jacks, [...]

Sunday Jog

I’ve recently received a few requests to post my workouts, so I started this new thread, Laura’s Training Log. I’ll be uploading the info from my trusty Garmin Forerunner 405 CX, which will include my runs, bike rides, and the random cardio I do at home (you’ll see what I mean soon). I’ll also try [...]

Workout Video: Walking Lunges

Here’s Part II of my lunge video series where I show you the walking lunge, a leg exercise you can do at the gym or at home. This is the basic move, but there are so many variations: step backward into the lunge instead of forward or hold a dumbbell or kettle bell in each [...]
