Journey2fitNhealthy with Karen

Author: Karen

Hi, I'm Karen. I help people who struggle with reaching their health and fitness goals figure out how to transition from quick fix solutions to lifestyle changes that last. I've been helping others work towards their goals since February 2015. When I'm not working my full-time job or helping others I can be found spending time with my family. We enjoy quading on the dunes and spend as much time RVing as we can. My husband and I also enjoy riding our Harleys. Start working with me on making lifestyle changes that will last now.

Hubby has been wanting an indoor cardio machine for awhile and we finally decided to go with the Bowflex Max Trainer.  This thing is a beast!  I chuckled to myself when I read reviews that said some people were unable to do the 14 minute workout recommended by Bowflex to start with……  Seriously this was way harder of a workout than it looked on all those cool infomercials, lol.  I am definitely feeling like I am getting a great workout in just 14 minutes and I have not even incorporated the interval training yet so there is a lot of[Continued…]
