My #1 Tip on Staying Consistent

Mindset/Motivation, Movement

Want to be consistent with your workouts???? Then you have to stick to your morning routines no matter what during the work week.  Even when you don’t feel good, don’t feel like it, tired or even sore AF. I may not always stick to my planned workout but I always (95-98%) do something even if it’s just 10-15 minutes of stretching or 20 minutes of a dance cardio workout. Keeping a few shorter, easier go-to workouts ready to go when obstacles come your way is must if you want to stay consistent. This does two things for you.  First, it[Continued…]

Bowflex Max Trainer

Equipment, Exercise, Life Etc, Movement

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…]

Holiday Meal Game Plan

Life Etc, Mindset/Motivation, Movement, Nourishment

  What is your strategy for getting through the big meals without going overboard and staying on track?  Fail to plan, plan to fail!  In other words, if you think you can just go with the flow you are very wrong.  The flow will be overeating and eating items that are meant to be enjoyed on occasion and in moderation.  I am guessing most of the flow will not be paying attention to any kind of moderation because it is the holidays.  But not you my friends, I know you are lifestyle changers not just quick fixers and will be[Continued…]

Have A Backup Plan

Life Etc, Mindset/Motivation, Movement

  This is a PSA to have multiple backup plans for your workouts! I made sure everything was set up and ready to go last night.  DVD in player, clothes out, etc.  Unfortunately, our power protector/cleaner for our entire entertainment system had been tripped and I couldn’t get power back on so no TV or DVD, ugh.  Option B was to use Beachbody on Demand and stream to Kolon’s tablet…..unfortunately he left it on so it was dead, lol.  Considered option C of just going for walk but opted for D instead.  Option D was a total body Kettlebell workout[Continued…]

Habits/Routine, Life Etc, Mindset/Motivation, Movement, Nourishment

Only Day 10 And Already Feeling Great I was just thinking to myself how great I really do feel.  I got a little spring in my step and just feel good.   I cannot believe how much just 10 little days of healthy habits can greatly improve how you feel! I got up just before 6am for some cardio that really got me sweating.   I already drank my breakfast shake and ate my veggies for a snack.  Today is already looking to be another great day 🙂
