149. Go the Distance with Mom this Mother’s Day
Flowers, shmowers! Instead of giving your mom that ‘same old’ spring bouquet this Mother’s Day, why not give her a pair of running shoes and a spot in this weekend’s Mother’s Day 5K Run/Walk . It’s happening Sunday morning on the streets of Barrington and it’s a fun experience you can share while helping a [...]

279. EXERCISE MORE -2011 New Year’s Resolution #3
I’m one of those people who feels like I have to get back in shape before I go back to the gym. Kind of like cleaning the house before the cleaning lady comes. But I’ve decided that’s just not going to cut it anymore. I need to crawl out from behind this computer, get out [...]

117. Connecting Your Mind and Body
I have a “love/not-too-fond-of” relationship with exercise. I love the results, but I’m not too fond of what it takes to get there. But a couple of years ago I discovered this quaint pilates studio called Yin Yang Pilates at 5073 Shoreline Road in Lake Barrington. I stopped in to catch up with Laura Cappelletti, [...]
