Get Physique-a-licious

Archive for the ‘exercise, power 90x’ Category

Hello everyone, I am back.  (As I smile to myself)  Sometimes, it takes a little push from the right person you get you going again.

Have you ever just been going along like the energizing bunny?  The poor bunny just has one speed and he keeps going and going and his expressions never changes.  HA  The only time he really changes speed is when his battery starts to go dead.  I feel like that sometimes, I must admit. 

I enjoy all kinds of workouts.  I enjoy P90x, Chalean Extreme, Turbo Fire, Insanity, and Rev Abs.  I have to be honest though, I get bored doing the programs.  Even though I really, really like them I have to mix them up.  Some days I really feel like Turbo Fire and other days, I feel like Rev ABS.  I still do a weight lifting program which right now is Chalean Extreme.  I do love to lift with dumbbells, however my cardio is much to be desired. 

So, how Penny then do I make my cardio fun you ask?  Well, you have to mix the cardio up.  Just like with the lifting you are always challenging and overloading the muscle to make it change.  Same goes with cardio.  If you don’t like to run (which I depise it, plus not good for your feet), I love to do the gym style Turbo Kick (also by Chalene Johnson) to get my cardio.  I also love to do indoor cycling.  For some reason that hurts my knees, so i only do it occasionally.  When, my body is fueled with the proper diet, I feel like a little Insanity. 

No matter the desire, make it your workout.  Do what your body likes to do and you will stick with a program longer.  Make something up and mesh it all together, HA you never know you maybe the next Tony or Chalene or Shaun T.

The point is really just to keep active, move your body.

“A Year From Now, You’ll Wish You Had Started Today”

This year is going to be an awesome year for my fitness makeover.

I am going to find the strength to complete any one of my beach body workouts.  I have so many to choose from.  I think I am going to try and fuse them all together and see what happens.

I have added a new class to my studio workout and i am totally excited.  I am going to do a Fitness Line Dancing class.  I think it is really going to be fun.  No, I know it is going to be fun.  I am going to make it fun.

I have also added just a regular boxing drill kind of class to go along with my Turbo Kick class.  I know that class is going to be a hard workout.

Now, to find the time for me.  I have four college classes to teach at one college and one class at another.  I picked up 10 more classes at a treatment center which meets twice a day, plus my studio classes and special workshops that I am going to put on this year.

So, yep I need to find some strength to handle all of this plus do my own worth while workouts.

Hope you have set out your goals for the year and let’s stick to them.  Find the strength to achieve those goals.
