P90X Back and Bicep P90X MC2

Me doing pull ups and I need to do more of them.

Its official I signed up for Zumba Toning in June. This will give the ability to train Zumba in a more fitness style using 3lb hand weights during the workout. This is more my style, less dance more fitness I am PUMPED. (I have Zumba Basics)


T. is making serious changes in her life.

Today I decided to get back to my weights and rawk a good workout. I managed to get in about 24 mins of the actual lifting, with my new meal plan sometimes it takes a bit longer in the potty and it eats my workout time.

Starting in April I will be back to my 5.30am wake up call and hitting it in high gear, hoping to teach and train in low mid-drift tops.

I won't start teaching my class for another 3-4 weeks which is fine, I still have some modifying for the area of the studio I am using. I loaded my pictures last night, but with a client at 6.30pm I did not have time to blog about them, maybe this weekend. I also changed whey proteins and I am staying at 123-125lb which feels good on me.

Maybe signing up for the 5K Bulldog Dash, (remember 2 yrs ago I came in 3rd for class?) just to give me another goal and my new guitar should be here today or tomorrow. Tadaa!

1/2 c fresh spinach
2 scoops cookies and cream whey
1/2 banana
1/2 c peach no sugar added juice (splenda only)

Super Stability Ball Workout

Sorry I have been busy sprucing up the house for spring. Cleaning and giving things to charity and making the place look fresh.

This is a year to be productive, this year I turn 49. YES 49.

So the pressure is on getting my biz and home in order while saving for a big 50th with my girlfriens, that will be here before I know it. You may have noticed a new icon on my side bar, BeachBody. If you click it you can find out more about me, and get stuff there too.

I became a coach so even though I have been with BeachBody since 2009, this year I commit to help others with programs like P90X and Insanity plus the new ones getting ready to be released. So you will see more changes to my Blog and such, I am super happy.

Plus, I got a guitar!!! Its on its way to my house, and I am pumped to play again. (more later on that at my pictures just have not had time to load up.)

Split Workout Tips

Yesterday was our last day of warm weather, now its back to gloom and cold. I am such a person ruled by the sun, just like my mom. (even though my zodiac says the moon... still). I do love the moon since it sometimes can be so big, low and full but I need sun!

If you really want BIG results in your workout, do splits. Do a workout in the morning and a workout at night. The best way for me is to do my strength training in the morning and cardio at lunch/or after work.

The reason is I am a morning person (again like mom) and I need my focus for my weights as cardio is a breeze for me. I always feel the energy once I get started. But if you want a tip on cardio use sugar free full size Altoids.

Then put them in your jawline and breathe in the mint, it makes you come alive. I have done this for years as a runner and it works. Something about peppermint and the brain.

Tips:
ST or Cardio when your at your best, do the one you least like or easiest last
Use Altoids
If you have time for a walk during the day 20 minutes really helps
Steps available use them and do them twice, who cares what people think. (I always tell people I forgot something, and really I have my workout lol)

Green Monster:
1 cup 1% milk
1/2 c spinach fresh
1/2 banana
10 blueberries
1 tsp olive oil

Here is how yesterday ended:
