Hello everyone! In this blog, I wanted to share some of my favorite workout DVDs that I do at home. These are great workouts for people who dont have a gym membership, or even if you do have one but maybe you dont feel like getting out, or maybe you just dont have the time. I love these DVDs because they are a quick and easy planned workout! I know when I do these, I can always look forward to a much accomplished workout, and thats the goal we need to make sure we meet. We dont want to be wasting any time right?
The first video I highly recommend is called "Walk at home 5 Mile Fat Burning WALK" Its by Leslie Sansone and approximately 73 minutes total. On the days where you dont feel like tackling the full 5 miles, you can choose to do 1, 2, 3, or 4 miles instead of the full workout. I love Leslie Sansone, she is a very inspiring woman who truly loves fitness and being healthy! My second DVD is my personal favorite called "Personal training with Jackie Warner" its her power circuit training. Jackies DVDs are a little bit more challenging in my personal opinion. She breaks down the 40 minute total workout into total body circuit, lower body, upper body, and abs only circuit. Again, she gives you options where you can choose one circuit if thats all you want to do instead of the full body. Jackie also carries other DVDs you can find, she has one specifically for abs, she has a timesaver training DVD. I have all of her DVDs and I enjoy them and would recommend them to anyone who is wanting a kickbutt workout! My last DVD is by Jillian Michaels called "Banish fat boost metabolism". This DVD is also 40 minutes and is broken into seven 6-minute circuits that truly make you work hard! This DVD has a lot of kickboxing and plyometrics in it, and I absolutely LOVE it! You can purchase all of these DVDs at Walmart for around $10.00. If your looking for something new try them out! They are awesome!!
Alright guys! I have some great fruits that are energizing, yummy, and great for when you have those tough cravings for something sweet! These antioxidant rich fruits are great muscle builders, so eat up.
Cherries: Help reduce muscle soreness after a tough workout.
TRY a cup of cherries with a side of low-fat yogurt as a preworkout snack!
Bananas: Bananas are known for their potassium! We may not know that one banana also contains 34% of your daily value for vitamin B-6, which plays an important part in your metabolism, especially if you exercise regularly.
Pineapples: Are filled with tons of fiber, calcium, potassium, vitamin C, and 73 percent of the daily value for manganese, a mineral that helps build bone and tissue.
Strawberries: Are loaded with vitamin C, they are a natural cancer fighter!
Watermelon: Are filled with vitamin C and help fight against muscle damage.
I challenge everyone to start adding a serving of fruit a day to breakfast, lunch, or dinner to help boost your health.
CRAVINGS!
Are tough! We all hate that feeling when your boarderline starving, yet youve already eaten dinner and your still wanting more!! How do we get past these feelings? Well sadly, there is no magical way to get rid of them you cant snap your fingers or click your heels! Even though that would be amazing, they just are what they are and they exsist. Everyone gets them, but how do we avoid them?
#1. Are you that person who loves watching food shows late at night? Well honeslty I was until I realized it made me hungry and I wanted to eat everything late at night when I shouldnt be. So for starters watch cooking shows while your eating lunch, or dinner. Dont watch these shows when you shouldnt be eating, trust me it only makes it worse, and a lot harder then it already is.
#2. Make sure you eat enough during the day. Some people barely eat anything during the day and then they wonder why their so hungry late at night? So make sure you get a big breakfast thats filled with good nutrition that will give you energy throught the day, especially if you have a busy schedule.
#3. Get your mind off of wanting to eat the things you shouldnt. If your hungry, distract yourself with something else. Go shopping, study for a test, play a game, go for a run, pull out your Oxygen Magazine and get motivated! Everytime Im feeling sluggish or unmotivated I pull out my oxygen and when im done I seriously want to run a marathon by the time I put it down.
#4. If everything else fails, sit down and think of whats more important to you. Would you rather achieve that goal you have set for yourself, that image thats in your head of how you would love to look? Or do you want that peice of cake? or that burger and fries? Don't give up what you want most for something you want in the moment. Push through that craving, it will make the difference from your diet working or not working.
I challenge everyone to give up something for a week! Whether it be soda, candy, sweets, fast food, eating after 7, tell me what you challenge yourself to give up and how you did!
Keep looking out for future posts, my next blog I will talk about free days and include more tips and tricks that help you stay motivated! Until then, workout hard and keep focused on your goals :)
