In this month's interview, I spend time discussing workout buddies and how that makes it easier to stay on the path toward health and fitness. I also mentioned that your workout buddy might be the four-legged variety since dogs love to jog and hike with you. https://soundcloud.com/sjd-health-and-fitness/02-04-17-susan-delmonico-interview

With a limited number of … Continue reading Substitute of the Week – Greek yogurt vs. sour cream
It’s not about the exercise, it’s about accountability
I recently had a chance to speak with some people at a networking event about what I do as a personal trainer. Most understand that I help customize a workout routine to help achieve a person's goals -- whether it's weight loss, muscle build, core strengthening, cardio improvement or combinations of everything.
