Goodbye 2011 - Hello 2012!

Hi Dolls! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with the people that matter the most to you, I know I did. As we look back on the past year and reflect, I hope you see the good as well as the bad, and know that tomorrow is Always a new day. It's a challenge to do the right things that make us better, stronger, wiser....you get the idea. The food you choose to eat and the exercise you choose to do will either make you the person you want to be..... or.... the person you don't want to be. It's up to you!

Make time for your workout. It's an investment in YOU! Make good choices about the fuel you put in your body everyday. You are what you eat...and NO you can't eat a skinny person. LOL

The ONLY resolution I have for 2012 is to help motivate you to be the best you want to be when it comes to your workouts.

I 'll start with this super blaster...Aim for 1 minute with each exercise - NO rest in-between - 2-3 circuits!  

Walking rowing lung 

Jumping Jack w/floor touch

Alternating Pop -up squat jump ( think popping up on a surf board)

Ladder Planks

Burpee w/push-up

Mt. Climbers

Sumo jump squat

XOXO

Resistance Training

Resistance training is a great way to "kick it" for the results you want without spending hours in the gym. A study by the University of Maine states a single set of weight training (resistance) exercises use as many calories as running at a 6.6 minute mile for the same amount of time. What does that really mean? If you are doing circuit training with high reps (25 or more) of multiple muscle groups, ie burpees with a push-up, the amount of time it takes you to complete the exercise would equal running at a 6.6 mile pace.


Try this for a quick yet effective workout!  Do all exercise with minimum rest between.
