ChaLean Extreme Ab Burner & Recharge

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:16:54 +0000

I had a slower workout tonight. I needed it following the brutal leg routines I did yesterday. I started with ChaLean Extreme’s Ab Burner and followed up with the Recharge routine. I expected Chalene Johnson, also know as Chalene the Machine at my house, to be a little more challenging in her ab routine. [...]

Mountain Hike to Crabtree Falls

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:21:59 +0000

Yesterday was a chilly day. It was raining as we started our three mile trip to the mountains for fresh apples. We wondered if we should’ve chosen another weekend for this annual event, but it’s hard enough to get a few friends together on the same day. By the time we got to the [...]

Core Ball Sandwich Flatter Abs!

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:49:51 +0000

I finished Tony Horton’s One on One Core Ball Sandwich feeling like I’d accomplished a great challenge yet missed the mark on athletic ability. My core muscles received a muscle twitching trembling workout, but I had to practice Tony’s mantra to “do your best and forget the rest.” I struggled primarily with the [...]

Raising the Intensity of Slim in 6 & Other Beachbody Workouts

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 22:55:20 +0000

After doing 90 days of Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Home Training System, you’d think that I’d be ready to take a break. The fact of the matter is that once you start seeing your own results, you get hooked on Beachbody workouts. I’m in the middle of Debbie Sieber’s Slim in 6 slim [...]

Burn It Up Exercise List

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:47:55 +0000

Phase III of Debbie Sieber’s slim training workout, Burn It Up, is about 59 minutes in length. After you’ve done this routine several times, you can anticipate what exercise is coming up. I think this program is lacking in one area. It doesn’t have a list of the exercises in writing, so [...]

One on One: Cardio Intervals

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 00:24:51 +0000

I’m really hooked on Tony Horton and the P90X Extreme Training System. After going through this grueling 90 day program, I decided to take a break from building muscle and focus on losing a little weight. To accomplish this task, I turned to Debbie Siebers and her Slim in 6 workouts to burn [...]

When Desire Becomes Commitment

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:54:56 +0000

Beachbody says it in three words. Decide. Commit. Succeed. I often substitute the word decide with the word desire. I think this is because I’ve decided many things in my life, but I haven’t followed through. I think about how desire turns to commitment and ultimately success. I’ve been thinking [...]

Ramping It Up: Slim in 6 vs. P90X

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 15:39:00 +0000

I attacked Debbie Siebers Slim in 6 Ramp It Up workout yesterday for the first time. It was longer than the first workout, Start It Up and built upon the basic moves demonstrated in the first workout. I was amazed at the muscle soreness I was feeling during the workout in my triceps, [...]

My Weight Loss Turning Point

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:07:09 +0000

I’m not an expert on the science of losing weight. Like most Americans, my experience with weight loss is up and down with my most successful weight loss episodes coming during hard times when I found myself depressed and just didn’t eat. I tried the South Beach Diet, the Peanut Butter Diet, Bill [...]

P90X Yoga X – Storm & Calm

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:37:30 +0000

What is it that keeps me coming back to Yoga X, a grueling 92 minutes of P90X extreme training? Is it the sweat that pours from my forehead and drips from my chin? Is it the challenge of completing a push up before going into each downward facing dog? Maybe it’s the [...]
