Workout with Dara Torres


Last week I had the opportunity to worked out with Dara Torres.  She's the amazing swimmer who competed in the Olympics FIVE times and is training for her sixth right now. She'll be 45. Not only that, but she's also mother! So inspiring. She was in NYC to promote Bengay.

I wasn't familiar with Torres until the 2008 Olympics. Her story grabbed me. It was awesome to watch a 41-year-old mother continue to follow her passions.  It's so easy for me to get lost in my kids lives and forget about my dreams. It's a balance I struggle with daily. I'm sure she does too (anyone happen to read her memoir from 2009?)

I've learned that my family runs really well when I'm 100% committed to cleaning, laundry, cooking, and meeting all my kids needs. The pile of dirty clothes isn't hitting the ceiling, the house doesn't smell like piss, the kid's toys are in the right bins. It feels really good to take care of everything for everyone. But I also love to sneak in and take up some of the time for my passions.  Something has to give in that case, usually in that same order: cleaning, laundry, cooking, and meeting all my kids needs. I've come to the simple conclusion that I need my passions to cover the cost of a cleaning lady and personal chef!

I loved meeting Dara. Getting a boost to follow my dreams was worth the trouble of getting to the East Side of Manhattan! Took forever. Who are the women you seek out when you need a boost?

  Hmmmm. Now what company do you think Dara is promoting? Take a wild guess . . .
After the jump is a five minute clip of her answering questions. She gives some great advice about fitness (cardio vs. weight training) and her struggle to keep motivated. I took it will my iPhone.

  4. It IS hard to balance all of it being what I call, "Dobby the house elf". And I mean that in a good way! Everything DOES run better being fully committed to it all but then we all run ourselves down. And doesn't fitness go first?!!!

  10. My name is Jessie Bender from USA My boyfriend and I were happy as far as I could tell and I never thought that we would break up. When his cousin died in a tragic car accident he went back to Philippine for a week to be with his family. I could not go because I was in the middle of entertaining out of town clients for work. He did not seem to be upset that I could not go so I let him be. The next thing that I know, he reconnected with an old friend from high school that he had a crush on years ago and they started to have an affair! I had no clue what was going on until a month after he came back from Philippine.He proceeded to see both her and I until I caught him testing her one night. I confronted him and he told me the truth about what happened. We broke up and went our separate ways. Neither of us fought for our relationship. I was angry and decided not to be upset about it and just keep it moving. Then after about a month of not speaking to him I became sad. I wanted him to tell me that he wanted to be with me and not her. I contacted Dr .Ogala for a love spell and he totally helped me! he was able to get him to miss me to where he wanted to get back together again. He had a lot of regrets and felt bad for not fighting to keep me and for cheating in general. He values our relationship so much more now and we are together now! You can also get your lover back with the help of Dr. Ogala contact him through his email: Holyspellcast@yahoo.com.or through his website:http://holyspellcast.wix.com/holyspellcast and you can also call him +2348039456308 THANKS..
