Morning,
Well! As I had earlier reported, this morning I did the P90x Legs and Back DVD, along with Ab Ripper X. Great stuff, that….and by 9am, I was at the gym with my husband, ready to do my 55 minutes of treadmill cardio.
That went rather peachy, I must admit. Then I […]

Morning,
As you know if you’ve been reading my blog, I’m currently challenging myself with P90x, an extreme home-fitness routine. It’s great! It’s exciting! And it cajoles your muscles to failure, which is why taking care of yourself afterwards is of such high priority.
After every workout I do, I now will take […]

Morning,
Ever have an insane urge to do Pilates? Ever wonder what the heck Pilates is?
I’ve tried it myself and let me tell you, it translates into a killer of a workout! From Wiki, it’s described like so:
Pilates was formed by Joseph Pilates during the First World War with the proposal […]

Morning,
Life is joyous.
Back in the summer, one of our karate senseis showed up a rather killer pushup that my kids named ‘habanero pushups’ (mainly because your muscles burn when you’ve completed them).
Actually, they’re simply pushups with your hands close by your sides so it works your triceps. Thing is, though, back then….I […]

Morning!
I’ve received several questions asking what’s the difference of P90x Plus compared to P90x.
Well, here’s what I’ve found out. We’re talking 5 different upgrades:
Interval X P90x Plus
‘Way more killer and effective than typical cardio, Interval X Plus blasts your heart rate up and down with 3 speeds: recovery, medium, and full-out, […]

Morning,
Well! My local Sports Authority had a 25% discount off of any single item in the store…and I was lucky enough to visit there when they unloaded 15 instances of the Perfect Pushup. At only $32 (including tax!), how could I resist?
After I got this beastie home, I opened up the box. […]

Morning,
Just found out that Sports Authority is offering a 25% off coupon on any single item (either bought online or thru the store!). Click below!

Nice!! Last time this ad appeared, I treated myself to two karate foam blockers. This time, I might get a set of adjustable dumbbells….
Enjoy,
Barbara
ps - And don’t […]

Morning,
So! It’s the wintertime…and if you live where bunches of white fluffy stuff falls, you’ll probably have to haul your cheerful self outside every now and then to shovel off your driveway.
First off, did you know that you burn around 408 calories every hour you shovel snow (assuming you weigh 150 pounds and […]

Morning,
It’s not just for your kids, you know!
One of the most funnest (to quote my children) ways an adult can lose weight is to indulge their inner child’ and participate in Dance Dance Revolution.
Now, what is DDR, I hear you ask? It’s simply a game that requires a dance pad, a Playstation or […]

Morning,
Well, I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I can now do 2 (count ‘em, two!) unassisted chinups! This is 1/2 more than my last record of 3 days ago. Yay!
My right thigh muscles are still somewhat weak from the surgery. So I’ve been spending some time stretching and today, decided to […]
