The Top 10 Travel Fitness Tips

Monday, March 16th, 2009

As someone who has struggled with my weight my whole life, I have always found the most difficult times to be when traveling or on vacation. As an emotional/boredom/comfort eater, up until recently I have always let me health and fitness regress when on the road. I guess it’s just really easy to tell yourself “screw it. I’ve been really good, now it’s time to kill it and let loose!” At least that’s how it’s been for me for the longest time.

Official Bridal Fitness Workout

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

This program is specifically designed for the bride-to-be who’s looking to maximize her sexy for the day she says “I Do!” Not only will this program whittle your middle fast but it will also build a head-turning pair of toned arms and an awe-inspiring set of sculpted shoulders, the perfect physical accessories for your strapless or sleeveless dream wedding dress.

You will perform 3 total body workouts per week alternating between Workout A and Workout B and taking at least 1 day of rest between workouts (e.g. perform on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). The beauty behind these whole body workouts is that they use total body exercises that work your arms, legs, and abs at the same time. The result? Maximum fat loss and lean muscle growth so that you both lose inches in AND add definition to all of the right places. Plus I even threw in a bonus cardio interval training workout using that body weight cardio exercises that you can perform at home that is scientifically proven to burn 9x more fat than long, slow, boring cardio. Time to crank it for the big day! (more…)
