"Help! I'm bored with my workouts"

Hey guys, hope your day is going well :)

If you're reading this post, then we're most likely in the same boat. You've reached a point in your exercise life where everything is becoming routine (dare I say boring?), what's worked before isn't working anymore, and in general, you've lost a great deal of enthusiasm for working out. I feel ya.

Not to worry, we all get stuck in a rut once in awhile. It's normal! Life gets in the way sometimes and there are just other things we'd rather be doing. Don't beat yourself up over it - the important thing is if you've fallen off the bandwagon, just get your ass back on it!

Doing the same routine over & over may make you feel like you did jack squat

Get Him to the Gym!

CCF's City Boy of the month, John Tashjian, shares his thoughts on fitness & maintaining a healthy lifestyle while leading a hectic lifestyle as a Realtor. 

First off I’d like to thank City Chicks Fitness for letting me write this article for their blog.  I don’t claim to be an expert in any kind of fitness talk, but I'm a regular working man who wants to be fit, so I have enough experience to give my opinion about it!

Our Favourite (Free!!) Fitness Apps

Hey guys! There's nothing I love more than hearing birds chirping on a warm spring day while sipping my morning coffee...ahhh. How are you spending this marvelous spring day?

I have a confession to make. I am now officially, an Apple product lover. Anyone who knows me can vouch that I've always been a Blackberry & BBM fan. Yes, I finally hopped on the iPhone bandwagon (years too late) and I have to admit, I'm blown away. Seriously. I knew I was missing out on lots, but not this much: retina display, Siri texting for me, its intuitive design...the list goes on for this beautiful creation. Sorry Blackberry, we had a good run!

CCF Bakes, Runs & Eats!

Happy Monday and first day of April! Hope everyone had an amazing Easter weekend and spent time with family and friends.

CCF had a very relaxing and productive long weekend. It started with some baking - Breakfast Fruit and Nut Cookies from Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook. I made some CCF modifications to the recipe and it turned out delicious. These cookies are very filling too because they are jam-packed with so much goodness: almonds, dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, raisons and oats! Plus, they are super healthy since they are made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and no butter. If you have some time and are in the mood for some baking, I highly recommend these cookies.
