Get Physique-a-licious

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.

I am in heaven right now.  I went to Dallas for a Beachbody Team meeting and the guest was no other than the man himself Tony Horton.  My heart was pounding like a little kid.  I could not believe I was in the same room with Tony.  How did this happen?  I was extremely excited but tired from the drive down there.

I am just ecstatic. 

There were quit a few people there.  Close to 150 Will had mentioned.  There was a guy named Nick who has been on the infomercials.  There was Will and Kevin from Beachbody Corporate.  I could not believe it.

Tony started off giving his speech in the Tony fashion about how he got where he is today.  So glad Tony did not pursue his comedian career.  He can joke all he wants on his DVD’s. 

We had a coaches training.  If any of you who are in the fitness industry or are just plain fitness enthusiasts and are not a BeachBody Coach, this is a company that is really about to take off.  You can make some money on the side.  This is best MLM company’s in fitness today and it is getting ready to explode.  I suggest you get on board now.  I am not lying.  The American Diabetes Association is on board too.  How about that.  They just don’t put their stamp on just anything.  This is truly a landmark deal.  Beachbody is the first company to receive this stamp approval for their workout programs.  If you are interested, please go to www.milliondollarbody.com and check it out.  If you decide you want to be a coach and their should be no question, sign up under Pkayfit02.  Get going while it is warm before it gets really hot.

Okay, enough of that, here in the Coaches Training Session, Tony was actually the one who spoke.  He talked about 11 Laws of Fitness according to him.  This was such a great training.  If you sign up under me I can give those to you.  These were great Laws and that can be applied to everyday life.  It was amazing to listen to him.  I was really tired but he really managed to keep me awake.  After his speech he walked down the aisle and I was able to shake his hand.  I will never wash that hand. 

Now, was the time to workout people P90x style.  Let me tell you it Rocked!  Just like P90x and the one-on-one DVD.  I busted a major sweat.  Take a look.  I had so much fun having Tony kick my butt.

Getting ready to rock.

jab, Cross, Hook, Turn people.  Let’s get it right.

As you can see, my shirt was soaked liked I worked out or something.  I had an awesome time.

I received my next One-on-One DVD  “Killer Abs”  awesome like the others.  Also, they sent me a sneak peak to Chalean Extreme.  This is going to be another program that is going to rock.  I love it.

I bought me a Heart Rate Monitor awhile back and really hadn’t used it.  I noticed while I was teaching my light yoga class in Buffalo Gap that I couldn’t see my watch too much because my eyesight is not what it used to be because I find myself at the computer all the time anymore.  :) 

I switched wearing my regular watch to my Heart Rate Monitor watch so that I could see the numbers.
Well, since I have my heart rate monitor on I thought I would just see how many calories I am burning with all of my exercise classes that I teach.  I have been stunned, but I use the heart monitor to my benefit as well. 

I can usually burn about 750 calories on a great day just exercising or teaching classes. 

One of the reason that I wear this monitor also, is because that it really keeps my accountable for what I eat afterwards.  Have you ever noticed that people tend to eat way more than they burn after they work out.  They have the mentality that since they have worked out that they can eat anything they want to.  Okay, I know there are exceptions like Michael Phelps.  He can eat everything under the sun.  I am talking about us average folks who seem to just look at food and gain weight.

I also encourage my students and older folks to get a monitor so that they can see for themselves what they are burning and then they can adjust their meals accordingly.  This has helped tremendously for many of them.

All I am saying is get yourself a great heart rate monitor and start keeping track of those calories actually burned during your workout.  You will be amazed.

Don’t forget to workout to Power 90x, one-on-one with Tony, and the 10 minute Trainer with Tony.

He is the best.  i love him.

Yes, it is here everyone.  I am stoked about this new DVD from Tony Horton.  The next DVD installment from his new One-on-One series.  I have not had a chance to review it, since it just came yesterday. 

The Olympics only comes every four years, so I have been glued to the TV watching Michael Phelps take charge and sweeping the world with his gold medals.  You go Michael.  I am thinking about adding swimming to my routine.

I finally realized why I don’t like to run.  I have been on the treadmill twice this week.  I have squeezed in 3 cardio sessions in so far.  Yeah me!  But, yesterday I realized that my little toes get all bruised up.  I hate that and they are so sore.  After my class yesterday, I had to take my shoes off to let my toes breathe.  That is why I think I will go swimming.  Give my little toes a break.

Remember change is good and a variety of cardio exercises is great.  You need to mix it up people.

I will get back with you on how it went with Tony.  Can’t wait.

This last week, I was able to get at least 3 cardio session in.  Yes, with finals of summer session two and having to sub 4 additional classes.  I was exciting to get my run in on Monday and two Turbo Kick classes into my schedule. 

Still sticking to the nutrition plan which I have placed on the fridge, which really helps me stay accountable.  If you have a way to track your progress you will stay with it longer.  I haven’t craved any sweets at all for the past two weeks.  I have been drinking my water and my protein shake, which is awesome by the way.  I have been trying to eat the foods that rev up my metabolism, which I am writing an article about that. 

I have reached my 2 inches of inches lost.  Yes, it is really starting to come together.  I only have a couple more week, but I think I can get there.  Of course, I will not stop there.  I will keep going until my body fat gets to where I want it to be.

By the way, I am excited to receive Tony Horton’s new One-on-One DVD.  I have the Plyo Legs already and I am excited to see what is next.  I have had so much going on this past week, that I did not get any sessions in for myself.  I think I ended up taking a weight lifting break.  I will get back on track next week.  I was really trying to focus on burning the calories in the Cardio part of my routine.  It is really hard to juggle several things at once.  Next week should be better because I won’t have the summer school to teach.  It cuts into my morning.  So, now I can focus more on the workout part of the routine.  It is a juggling game.  I should see more results next week.

By the way, I filmed my yoga video yesterday. It was awesome.  This will be my first video ever.  I am really excited about it.  Now, just have to edit it and put it together.  It will be available on my website www.myphysiqueinc.com shortly.  I will keep you posted.  The video is easy stretching, very basic yoga, and I have two 30 minute segments on the dvd. 

Keep up the good work people, and keep encouraging others to workout and get healthy.  It all starts with you and setting the example.

Yesterday I told you that I was going to combine the legs and back of Power 90x to my new Tony Horton Dvd one-on-one.  So, ok I used the wam-up from Power 90x because in Tony’s one-one-one Plyo Legs he has already warmed up using the jump rope, so then he just gets to stretching.  I warmed up and then I skipped the stretch and jumped right into it.  You really shouldn’t but I needed to get right to it.  Also, listen to your body and note how you are doing, if you are just starting out on this program by all means do the stretching.  I had already did some Yoga earlier in the morning so I was pretty well stretched. 

I followed the same format that Tony uses in the Power 90x, where he does two leg exercises and then does a back exercise.  I definitely needed a break after the two Plyo legs exercises. Holy Cow!. I was definitely breathing hard and I could tell the first two exercises were fairly easy.  Got my heart rate up to about 157.  I did keep up pretty good with him and got down pretty low that I could get.  I can’t seem to get the flexible in the ankles that I need.  I need to work on that.  I am having trouble to the chin-up bar.  I have never really been good at that even after I have strengthen my back muscles.  Just not meant for that.  I have to question ladies that can do that.  Just kidding.  Do it if you can.  I started with the bar and it is really hard for some reason so I switch to the bands and those are fairly somewhat easy to do.  I have the heavy resistance band hooked up.  I guess I need to play with that some more.

Those killer wall sits that he has you do, they are really the devil.  He gets you into the 90 degree position and holds it I think it was for 3 minutes.  I did have to take a little itch up the wall and then come back down again.  Those weren’t as bad as the next time he has you do the alternate straight leg wall sits.  OMG!  10 seconds on each side for 90 seconds.  Thank God I did not fall to the floor.  I did feel like it though.  Busting a sweat trying to hold the wall up.  The last time I remember doing something like that I was feeling pretty good and was very glad the wall was there holding me up.  :)  Remember you can not hold the wall with your hands and you can not place the hands on the thighs.  It is all legs people.

So, we did these jack things and I tell you the first 10 were awesome after that, the legs just started to burn. Are you freakin kidding me?   My heart rate of course went up and man I think we did 25 or 30 something.  Holy Cow!  Am I going to make?, it I thought to myself.  Oh, I forgot to mention that he does take a break, but guess what?  I did not, I needed to get the workout done.  So, no water break for me.  Please do not do this.  You really need water by yourside.  Fresh air also.

I finished the workout with the last 3 leg exercises he has on the one-on-one and did the stretch.  I feel like someone beat the holy crap out of me.  My shirt was soaked from sweat, plus I do not have a ceiling fan in my room. 

I forgot to mention that on Thursday when I did Turbo Kick for the cardio we did the Turbo legs, then on Friday we did the wall sits and some lunges or something, I can’t remember but I have done legs all week. My legs are used to thing type of workout.  I needed something a little more aggressive and boy did I get it.  I love every minute of it, even though I really did want to give up.  You have to set the goals for yourself.  THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR THE SLACKER.

Then I had to go outside and fill my truck up with the trash that was outside.  Hot, humid, and oppressive.  Yuck!  I swepted the porch and had a beer.  Yup!  I did, had me a nice Mic Ultra Lime one too.  It was awesome.

I must tell you that I burned 445 calories in that 1 hour and 1/2.  I told you it would take me longer because of the back stuff too.

I need to do cardio tomorrow and then on Monday I will start doing the doubles.  Can’t wait for the next DVD.  Bring it On Tony!
