It was time to do a little cardio shiz, of course I did as much “alternative” cardio as possible, such as hang cleans, chops, box jumps, and so forth. I did this little gem of an exercise (puke)…j/k. It’s a good one, but dang it’s hard. I don’t know what it’s called, but I’ll just call it “Roll Back Burpee Variation.” It’s killer core, legs, upper body, *and* gets the heart pumping! Do them yourself and ENJOY (as much as ...

Diana, Diana, Diana.
WOW, what a transformation!
She is a tender little one, at the youthful age of 24!
She came to me after being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, and realized that if she didnโt make a change, her life would be cut short. She hoped that exercise could help prevent her from taking diabetes medication. (so far, so good!)
She works out with me 3 days a week, and walks every day at lunch. She watches what she eats, and has to ...

When they are quibbling about not seeing results after one workout and one clean meal…or people asking me about how effective L-Carnitine is or anything else…yet their diet is not 100%…I want to say “what’s the point??”…no supplement can counteract an inconsistent diet…Anyway, “ChickenTuna” has been a contributing member of BodySpace (associated with BodyBuilding.com) for many years now and her abs are more than memorable. Yes, I know ...

This is not necessarily a way to live 24/7, but they can help to get you over a hump if your weight loss is stalled, or if you *cough* come back from an Alaskan cruise and want to counteract the week of sitting on a boat coupled with multiple course meals at every glacier….
Haha! I am just learning iMovie, so I decided to try out some techniques on a video with our beloved pit, LUKE!! Yes, Omar puts Luke on the treadmill because he needs exercise! He has a lot of energy he needs to let out, because we don’t want our house torn apart! ๐ Isn’t Luke adorable?? Maybe I am a bit biased because I’m the mommy but I don’t think ...
Continue Reading โEndless waves upon waves of good-intentioned fat-loss seekers tie up their running shoes and walk around their neighborhoods, flock to the gym and trod on their cardio equipment of choice, only eat twice a day, and never get their heart rate above their โfat burning zone.โ Yet their jeans remain too snug, the zipper gets harder to close, and women and men grow steadily frustrated with how infrequently they eat, how much cardio they do in their low-heart-rate, โfat burning ...

What is it?
Dynamic mobility is a great warm up before training. Although there is a bit of semantic confusion in the phraseology, I am referring to โmobilityโ as contracting your muscles and taking your joints through their ranges of motion actively, as opposed to passively.
What does it do?
How does it work?
More and more research ...

Week 1 I followed every thing I specified, except for the daily ice bath. I’ve been stretching and I indeed, rested, which is quite a severe and vexatious feat for me. I went in to the gym and did stationary bike at a snail’s pace a few times but didn’t really break a sweat, which means I wasn’t working hard, because when I ...
