Week 1 Day 1

I feel like I've written this post before.  I feel like I've written this post more than once before.  I've set a new goal.  I've set a new goal date.  I'm cracking down.  

This is me.  Am I huge?  A bit.  I'm determined to get to my happy size.  Often I talk about losing a certain number of pounds.  I am actually not as concerned about the number on the scale as I am about my measurements.  My goal is a size 7....possibly a 9.  27 or 28 inch waist will be perfect.  

I started a new program recently.  Normally I design my own workouts.  This time I decided to try a new one that I didn't write myself.  I have been doing Ashley Horner's Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (or WTF).  It's free.  You can click HERE and download it.  Can't wait to see the results I get at the end of the 6 weeks.  

Are you working on a new workout?  What kind of goals do you try and accomplish?  Are you a weight or measurement type of person?  Let me know.

Happy BIrthday Workout

I try and vary the workouts I design for my clients.  I don't want them to get bored.  I want to make sure that they have a varied set of workouts and I enjoy keeping them on their toes.  A cutesy little workout is the only way I can really figure out how to "celebrate" most holidays.  

Birthday Workout

Birth month -- Number of exercises
Birth Day -- Number of reps
Age -- Number of minutes

SO, my birthday is July 15th and I'm turning 34. Since July is the 7th month  I am  my clients, are doing 7 exercises.  My birthday day is the 15th so they are going to do 15 reps of each exercise. If it's a single leg exercise you do 15 on each side.  After 1 set of each exercise they take a few seconds, catch their breath and start at the beginning again.  This will go on for 34 minutes since I turned 34.

Lunge pulses
Bear squats
Box Jump
Deadlifts
Side leg lifts

Suitcase Lifts

Squat

  I've done this workout with 2 different sets of clients and they have gotten through about 3 rounds.

This doesn't just work with just leg exercises it works with all types.  Yoi could do a total body workout, arms and abs, plyo, anything. 

Give the workout a try and let me know how it works for you!

I'm Not A Crossfitter but......

I'm not a Crossfitter but, I enjoy doing Crossfit. I enjoy the layout of a Crossfit workout.  It's intense and normally fairly quick.

I will often design my own Crossfit-esque workouts for my clients or I will find a good total body WOD on BoxRox.com and do it on Saturday when I feel like my other workouts haven't been enough that week.  

Don't get upset with me that I make up for crappy weeks.  There are alot of reasons why your workout can suck.

*Illness
*Injury
*Lack of sleep
*Stress at work or home

And sometimes I JUST DON'T WANNA BE THERE SO I SLACK OFF 

This past week was a little off.  Saturday I designed my own workout and it made me feel like I redeemed myself.

This took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes to do.  I'm really slow at running.  Give it a try and let me know how you did.  Was your time better than mine?  I bet it was!

Hello July!

Hi!  How are you?  Can you believe it's already July 1st??!!??  This year has gone by so quickly.  I feel like every year goes by quicker and quicker.  It's sad and scary.

This month is a combination of busy and relaxing.

4 - Anniversary
8-14 - Vacation / Dance Nationals
15 - Birthday
25-27 - Sunny's hip hop intensives


This is the first summer in a few years that our days aren't packed with 50 different things.  And that's how I like it.  I'm a really fun mom during the summer.  I enjoy spending time out of the house.  The more time I spend out of the house and doing stuff that we enjoy the happier I am. 

I have a few goals this month that I need to accomplish before I can be 100% happy this month.

1. Clean my house from top to bottom.  I want it to be spotless (even if it only lasts for 2 days)
2. Take my SUP out atleast once a week
3. Get my online training business of the ground
4. Publish my ebook

If you want more information on my online training you can email me at BeachBodyWellnessDB@Outlook.com

I'll post more about my ebook as I get it closer to done.  

What are your goals for July?  Do you enjoy the summer or not?  Do you find summer break relaxing or frustrating?
