News: I've relocated to Colorado's mountains!

If you'll be in Summit County, Colorado for the four-season outdoor recreation opportunities, visit Mountain Sport Pilates & Fitness for your ski/snow-sports conditioning dryland training, and for post-ski, ride, run, or bike "body tune-ups".

I have several articles published. Members of the PSIA and the National Ski Patrol have my "Cut to the Core" article in your Fall 2003 issue of your professional journals. It should be available on their site archives soon. Also, I had a article for ePregnancy Magazine & ePregnancy.com, and another published in Pregnancy Magazine, on your newstand in May 2004. My "Keep In Balance Like Bode" article on ski fitness and balance is in the Spring 2005 issue of The Professional Skier for you PSIA members.

I'm now the Skiing Correspondent for All Info About, a network of websites presenting the best of the web. I also have my first fiction piece published, a serialized e-book novel set in the ski country of Colorado, with romance, intrigue, and a cast of characters that you could only find in the mountains.

Visit my SkiReady site for more about my dryland training workshops, and the presentations I do for EpicSki Academy.

Please read my feature article on Functional Sports Conditioning. It covers the latest methods for improving sports performance. And the Ski Shop is Open! Get equipment for getting and staying in shape for winter sports at SkiFitness.Biz.

Please visit my specialty sites: Pilates.Info (one of the new Internet .Info names.) In addition to the Pilates background and information about my classes here at LisaFitness, I've started Pilates.Info as a resource for the entire Pilates community. I've already added links to several of the major schools, equipment manufacturers, and certification organizations, to give people a central web resource to learn about the many facets of Pilates.

Another of my specialty sites - The latest in Ski Conditioning and Ski Fitness is at



www.Ski-Fitness.Net - my site specifically for getting and staying in shape for skiing! And specific information about my SkiReady classes is at SkiReady.Info!

Here at LisaFitness.com you'll find information on general fitness, with a special focus on the specialties which I teach, including Pre-natal fitness, Pilates-based training, and Resist-a-ball. Check out my latest additions of Pilates book and video recommendations here! My Books page has my favorite learn-to-ski books and videos available! And visit my Sports page for information about skiing and winter sports conditioning, and recommendations on where to learn to ski.

Get the latest Fitness & Health News right here at LisaFitness.com, from some of the best health and general news sites on the Web. Headlines update throughout the day, so visit often. (Note: most off-site links will open in a new browser window so you can enjoy them while still visiting my site.)

Want to talk about your fitness questions, adventure and sports travels, or anything fitness-related? One place you can do this is on my LisaFitness Message Boards - talk about your winter sports, fitness, and adventure travel at my General Interest Board, or discuss ski instruction and specific training techniques with professionals at my Instructors Board. Fitness instructors and sports coaches and trainers all welcome there! For general Fitness discussions, talk about clubs, workouts, and participatory sports, drop into my Fitness Board. Of course you can post about summer plans and getting in shape for the beach, mountain biking, hiking and camping, and all the great warm-weather things too.

If you're looking for a ski-specific board, I'm a regular at EpicSki.com, taking part in their Barking Bear Forums. You'll find many of my Ski Fitness tips in threads there - look for Lisamarie. If you want to talk skiing in general, EpicSki is a great place. Another good ski board is the virtual ski house at Paula's Ski Lovers. A lot of advanced skiers and ski instructors hang out at both sites, as well as beginners and intermediates, so discussions are fun and lively.

Check out my workout in the nationally-known health and fitness magazine, Natural Health Magazine, from their July/August 2000 issue! My ball-based "Strengthen Your Center" abs workout was their fitness cover feature. It's still posted on their website, and you may be able to order a back issue. Want your own stability ball for doing this workout at home? Buy one at my Fitness Shop!

Take my site with you on your PalmOS handheld, using the AvantGo LisaFitness Channel!
Works on all Palm and Visor handhelds, not just the wireless VII. Also works on most WindowsCE handhelds.

Here's a Guest Column by my friend and colleague Kathryn Zaitz, about Spinning™. Be sure to read about it here! I'll be publishing additional guest columns from time to time, so if you have an idea for one, e-mail me or drop a line in my guestbook. If you're a fitness professional, why not consider writing one?

I'll be adding new and timely health, fitness, and participatory sports info whenever I can. Look for guest columns by other experts in fitness specialties, including some of the ones I don't teach myself, such as Spinning or kick-boxing.

I'd love for you to sign my Guestbook or drop me an email and leave your suggestions. Please bookmark this site and visit often. And please visit my Personal site which has additional fitness information, including more of my background, more on my certifications, and where I teach. Plus my other interests, including helping another type of athlete, the retired racing greyhound!

Also you can view RealVideo excerpts of coverage by Boston's Channel 7 News on my Prenatal classes.

If you're near Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Loveland Ski Basin, Copper Mountain, or Vail, I hope I see you in a class soon! And I'd love to hear from you about your ideas for this site. Whether you're a fitness professional or a participant, I welcome you and hope you make my site a regular stop on your web workout circuit!
