TRX

I just started a new exercise regime called TRX. I can actually say this workout is extremely hard. There is alot of core strenght that goes into this exercise. I have been doing TRX for the last 6 weeks. I can finally do one of the core building moves but not for long. Maybe 15 seconds at the most. So what is TRX?

TRX – Suspension Training

It is a piece of exercise equipment that is very versatile. It is a total body workout that builds power, strenght,flexibility and balance. The great thing about this versatile equipment is that anybody can do it. It doesn’t matter your fitness level whether your a weekend warrior or a fitness buff. Or if your like me and only work out when there is some free time. This is one of the best workouts that I really enjoy. I have done alot of different exercise groups……TRX is right up there with boxing bootcamp. Boxing bootcamp is also a crazy workout. If TRX and Boxing got together and made a baby well lets just say that would be the ultimate total body work out.

I joined another TRX session 7 weeks of pure torture:) It’s worth it……arms are going to look real good for tank top season.

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred

So here I go again…………..tomorrow I start a 95 day workout for 95 $$ I’m excited about this. This package includes weight/fat analysis, measurements of the body. I also get meal and workout plans to accommodate what my body needs. Also support and the motivation is priceless sometimes when it comes down to feeling and looking better. But everything cost money!! If I could have a personal trainer with me everyday to keep me motivated OMG!! I would look so hot….. but lets get back to the real world. I wake up get my daughter ready for school, breakfast, get dressed, put hair up in pony tails. make her lunch for school oh yeah make husband’s lunch for work, yeah I know I make his too sometimes. Then its off to school. Usually I come home eat something because I didn’t have time in the early morning. I make good eating choices but sometimes I just don’t have the energy to make the high antioxidant smoothie that everybody says is so good for you. I usually clean up the house from the evening before like the dishes and tidy up the bathroom. It always looks like it never ever gets cleaned but I swear I clean it everyday. I’ve resorted to the lysol wipes for really, really quick cleanings. Sometimes I’ll put a load of laundry on because who wants to do 10 loads at the end of the week. Not me!!!

Getting to my point about Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I’m going to pick it up tomorrow and start it tomorrow as well with the 95 day challenge. I’ve been reading about the results to the 30 minute shred and I’m liking the way people are commenting about it. There’s results to this workout tape. I know it takes meal planning along with the exercise but 20 minutes a day for 30 days sounds reasonable to me. I can manage taking 20 minutes a side and doing a ass – kicking. I will keep you posted about my results and give some personal tips on my journey to losing 20 lbs before August. Yikes!!!

Back on the Wagon

Ok here it goes again………………back on the wagon! Yes I mean doing the diet thing. Some of you don’t agree with the dieting life style. Somethings it is only for extreme cases. I’ve been going back and forth with eating healthy then eating fast food a lot. I partly blame the husband for the fast food times which seem to be occurring a lot more then I like. I’m not putting the whole blame on him but he doesn’t help either. So here it goes I’ve started a another new meal plan which is mostly based on speeding up the metabolism. It’s kind of a quick jump start to weight loss. Now this is not a meal plan that you can be on for an extended period of time. It’s more just  an incentive to keep you going. The meal plan is for 3 weeks . You eat the same food every day for a week then the second week it changes adding more protein or complex carbohydrates. Same goes for the third week, increasing the amount of food intake. Now you really have to stick with this diet or your just fooling your self. This diet consist  of vegetables, oatmeal, quinoe, low fat meats ( fish,chicken) apples, nuts and berries. Pretty simple right?? Absolutely no refined foods, flour or sugar. I drink coffee and tea so try drinking it with just some artificial sweetner. Or drink it black.
