Bootcamp Can Be Fun!

I have been doing boot camp since November 2013. When I first started, we did a fit test to gauge where we where. I was huffing and puffing out of control trying to do all the jumping jacks, situps, pushups, running, etc. I started off going three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Day by day, I could feel myself getting stronger.  For the next six weeks, I decided to go four days a week. We also did a fit test with the start of the next six weeks and I did more pushups, squats, walk downs and ran my two laps faster.

Sometimes weight loss can be a slow process but results do come. I posted a picture of myself during the holidays with the caption, boot camp does the body good. One of my friends responded just think how you will look if you keep this up until this time next year. I had not thought about continuing boot camp that long but since I am enjoying it and making progress why not? I have a goal weight in mind so I will aim for it and check back November 18, 2014 with my final results. In the meantime, I will continue working it out. It is not all bad either, just a few days ago we cooled down by doing the Cupid Shuffle. Good Times!

SoloHealth Station

I was shopping in Walmart and came across the SoloHealth Station. The station, is an interactive kiosk that allows you to take a free vision, blood pressure, weight, and body mass index (BMI) tests in a few minutes. It also gives you an overall health assessment, access to a database of local physicians, and other health recommendations. They are also in CVS and Sams Clubs. Check it out!

Get Fit & Stay Fit

I recently ordered Darrin Henson's DVD, Get Fit & Stay Fit. Darrin is an actor known for his role in Soul Food and Stomp the Yard among others. He says he is going to be our celebrity fitness coach and I am all for it.

The DVD is an hour workout with breaks in between sessions. It begins with a run so its great if you have a treadmill otherwise running in place works too. I really enjoyed this workout. It included squats, weight training working shoulders, biceps, and triceps, calves, the dreaded abdominal workout, and it concludes with a boxing session. This is just the program I needed. This will be a nice addition to my program as I wanted to get in some workouts with free weights and having someone instructing makes it easier. 

 

So if you are looking for a total body workout, check it out!

“My goal is to get people fit and teach them how to stay fit,” . “Its a DVD program I have designed to get you to lose weight, get in shape and enjoy doing so! Most people diet and feel like they are dying when they do. I am going to show you how to live it!” --Darrin Henson

Shredding Continues with Super Shred!

Dr. Ian Smith as done it again! His new book, Super Shred is for short, quick weight loss in a healthy way. Super Shred is not something you do long term so if you want a long term plan try the original Shred diet but if you have a big event coming up cruise, reunion etc. this one is for you! The average weight loss is 20 pounds in 4 weeks and some testers have lost more. This plan can help jump start your weight loss if you have hit a plateau. Since I am a Shredder I am taking it to the next level. I started Super Shred January 1, 2014. Let's do this!

Happy New Year

It's 2014!

A new year to start fresh and accomplish all that you desire for yourself. I am not making resolutions per se but will live by a theme to do better and be better. I will Claim it, Work it and Receive it! I will claim positive things out of life by believing and having faith. This includes all areas like healthy living, increased finances, abundant travel, spiritual guidance, positive and strong relationships, creative abilities etc. I will put in the work regarding all of these areas because without it, I cannot expect these things to come to pass. Finally, I will be prepared and ready to receive all the blessings that are in store for me.

Let's do this!

Accomplishing Big Things in 2014!

 

Claim it, Work it and Receive it!
