ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Intervals

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:09:19 +0000

I’ve written about interval training in several articles on my website because all Beachbody fitness programs incorporate some form of interval training. Why? Because it’s effective at increasing your heart rate and metabolism and brings variety into your workout routine. I was looking forward to the ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Intervals workout. [...]

ChaLEAN Extreme Burn It Off!

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:30:50 +0000

At the completion of week 1 of ChaLEAN Extreme, you’ll be introduced to a cardio workout called Burn It Off! Although the workout is only about 30 minutes long, it is comparable to the Plyometrics workout in P90X. Yes! It’s intense and involves jumping. You’ll be breathing hard and your heart [...]

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 [...]

Shakeology The Workouts – The 30

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:58:55 +0000

It’s been at least an hour since I completed my workout tonight and my abs are still burning! What did I do? Shakeology The Workouts – The 30. Quite a name isn’t it? The 30 is quite simply the thirty minute workout vice the fifty minute workout designed to compliment Beachbody’s [...]

Power 90 Ab Ripper 200

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:01:39 +0000

Ouch! Power 90’s Ab Ripper 200 is 200 ab ouchy reps! It uses the same ten abdominal exercises as Ab Ripper 100, but instead of ten reps for each exercise, you’re doing twenty. That makes a significant difference in the burn. It will take a while for me to master the [...]

Power 90 Sculpt! Circuit 1-2

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:13:38 +0000

The Sculpt! Circuit 1-2 workout of Tony Horton’s Power 90 program combines ample stretching with strength training. I found this workout to be a nice introduction to Tony’s training methods and working out in general. This routine is just under 29 minutes. You’ll need a resistance band or a set of dumbbells [...]

Turbo Jam: Ab Jam

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 02:25:13 +0000

When I first looked at this dvd, I thought twenty minutes was an incredibly long time to be working on my abs. I’ve got to tell you that the time just flew by. I’m not sure what it is about Turbo Jam or Chalene Johnson, but each workout is fun. Fun means [...]

Turbo Jam: Cardio Party

Where did that 45 minutes go? Once again, Chalene kept my mind off working out and just having fun. I’m sitting here dripping in sweat after completing my first Cardio Party workout in the Turbo Jam program. I’m not a dancer, so trying to move like some of the gals wasn’t pretty. [...]

Do you know what I really love about Beachbody workouts? Each one is different. Variety is the spice of life and what some of us need to stay motivated to keep exercising regularly. I also like the seemingly endless supply of abdominal exercises. I learn new ab moves everytime I try [...]

Insanity Released. I’m Not Ready – Are You?

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:07:36 +0000

It’s really awesome that Beachbody has so many workout programs, each designed with particular fitness goals and fitness levels in mind. I wrote about this in an early article when I told you that after doing Tony Horton’s P90X Extreme Training System for 90 days that I started Debbie Sieber’s Slim in 6 program [...]
