On running: "When I owned my training studio, I'd joke to clients my nickname should be 'Runs-If-Chased.' I've tried running (I even did a half-marathon on too little training—don't be me). I long to love to run. I see other writers and bloggers talking about runners high and amazing scenery… I can't stand running."

What she does instead: HIIT, weight training, and yoga. "I'm a lazy cardio-er. I do the recumbent bike (typically HIIT sessions) while I tweet, read magazines, and text friends. This works for me and keeps me fit because I'm consistent. I'm an intuitive exerciser so there really is no 'typical' week for me; if I have a planned workout and feel tired, I rest. If I have a planned workout and my body needs something different, I change."
