Repeat Workout: It’s Turbo Jam Cardio Party Time Again

Day 84
This workout works your abs like crazy – and without you having to do any crunches. The perfect ab workout!
I absolutely love this DVD – the moves are easy to follow and fun to do and you can just feel your midsection working overtime throughout the 40 or so minutes. And of course Chalene [...]

Day 83
I feel like I fell off the weightloss wagon over the weekend! I didn’t seem to get any hard exercise in, just walking each night after sitting at my PC for several hours each day – I could almost feel my butt spreading out as I sat on [...]

Workout DVD #35: Chalene Johnson’s Lower Body Jam

30 mins | resistance band, hand weights, mat
Day 79
This DVD was really just what the doctor ordered: a good lower body workout that is quick, fun and totally doable.

Energy Sprint is such an amazing workout – it uses your large muscles groups over and over ensuring a real sweatfest calorie burner!

Repeat Workout: Jillian Michaels: Shape Up: Back

Day 75
After the weekend off [well I did walk and do body rolling, but no DVDs] I decided to get kicked in the butt again by Jillian. Phew – it was tough, but I am pleased to report that it was a little less tough second time round!
I did the 20 minute Turbo Jam workout [...]

Motivation is looking at Jillian Michaels‘ toned arms and wanting to have arms like hers sooo bad! They are a work of art in this DVD – not too muscley, just perfectly formed. Looking back over her DVD covers she seems to have filled out [...]

Repeat Workout: Core Performance

Day 70
Today I did the great combo of Turbo Jam’s 20 minute workout and Mark Verstegen’s Core Performance Workout with the stability ball. I also added about ten minutes on my Healthrider. I have done this workout combo 3 times now so I won’t go into any depth in this post.
But here are my stats:

Day 69
I first reviewed this awesome interval workout by Karen Voight [Energy Sprint] on day 6 of my ‘get fit and lose weight plan’ and my thoughts are basically the same 63 days later: it’s a great calorie burner and leg and glute workout.
The first [...]

Repeat Workout: Mark Verstegen’s Stability Ball Workout

Day 68
Today I repeated the exact same workout sequence that I did two days ago – a real core workout!
I burned less calories but I felt my form was a lot better. One thing that I was working with last time was a really tight back but today it was gone. I really managed to [...]
