No Weight Training This Week

With the change in seasons I have to change my fitness routine.  The Arizona heat is too much in the afternoon and I can't make my 6-10 mile runs now.  So to stay active I am taking the advice of my fitness trainer and friend.  I will still do a few short runs, but will mainly focus on resistance and circuit training; this will burn fat and tone.  I have misplaced my hand weights so I am focusing on no weight routines that use my own body with resistance.  There are lots of routines and workouts you can do without equipment, get organized and get started.

This week's fitness Workout Routine
I am a huge fan of Beach Body workouts.  I have finished the P90X and the Brazilian Booty Workouts.  So I have mixed up a few of my favorite workouts to work on my trouble areas. 
Monday:  Bum Bum DVD, then an arms and abs switching circuit workout.
Tuesday:  Cardio Axe, Run 3 miles
Wednesday:  Bum Bum, Laurens Pushup routine (below)
Thursday:  Upper Cuts and abs, Run 3 miles
Friday:  Cardio axe, Laurens
Saturday:  P90X Yoga
Sunday: Upper Cuts and Yoga abs workout

PLUS:  Just as of this weekend, I am starting Ryan Cowboy Ehman "Cowboy Boot Camp Workouts".  I am just starting to get the emails and will be doing the 12 workouts to let you know what it's all about.  Something I am doing that he suggests so far, is to do a daily morning and night time routine of sit-ups, pushups, and squats.  I will post more on this latter.

Say you don't have a Gym Membership and you don't have equipment?  Not having home equipment should not stop you.  NO excuses!!  If you want the body you imagine, than you have to work for it.  While this will not come free I have some free guides for you.

As mentioned above, things are getting hotter, so remember to increase you water intake, snack on foods with water like celery, cucumbers, carrots, and remember to stretch.  I like to do a morning yoga and night time yoga routine that calms my body.

Workout Wednesday.. P90X update

You all know I love the P90X workouts. I have started the 90 day challenge again. I went from a 10/12 to a size 6 the first time around. So I am hoping to make some big improvements with tone and definition. Another dress size down will be a big benefit. Its only day 3 of the 90 days, but I'll keep you posted on the improvements.
 You have all heard at one time someone talk about P90X. Many, many people are do the workouts. I love the P90X routine, but you could also find a different program that fits you better. Go to. beachbody. for more information.

This is the workout you will buy as an investment that you NEVER get tired of. It makes you exhausted, haha, but you never get sick of doing it.


Have a Healthy and Blessed Day.

P90X what is it

P90x has been the best workout I have ever done. My husband bought it a few months back and I was very sceptical if it would work. I had already had my fourth baby and wanted to lose some of the extra baby weight. Good nutrition is vital in loosing weight but I know I need some toning and exercises.
So I went along with the 12 week challenge that they ask you to make. The package comes with 13 DVDs that has everything from Kenpo to yoga, my husband's favorite (I am laughing). Yoga Is really my favorite but I truly love all the DVDs. It come with a Fitness Guide that instructs you where to start and how to measure so you can see and feel the improvements.
It also comes with a nutritional guide to help you get the most out of the toning and weight loss. It has great recipes and I love the amount of veggies and fruits they have you eat.
You are probably wondering where I am with the program. I am on week 7 of 12 and have lost 21 lbs. I am still working to finish the program and hope to still lose an additional 10 lbs.
All workouts are great and Tony Horton is great to see everyday. The workout can be according to what you are looking for. There is the classic, Doubles, and lean. I am currently working on lean. The workouts are Chest & Back, Plyometrics, Shoulders & Arms, Yoga, Legs and Back, Kenpo, Stretch, Core, Cardio, Chest Shoulders & Triceps, Back and Biceps, Ab Ripper.
A little info about Ab Ripper its only 15 minutes, you will love it or hate it, but that one little workout has major results.
You can see the DVD set in the advertisements on the left, you can go view it in amazon.
If you are looking to loose weight or to get cut and toned, you want this workout.

Have a Blessed and Healthy Day!!!
