I mentioned last time that I would get back with you on how it went with the Super Cardio 5-6 Plus.

Okay, so I watched the video and thought this would be great to try on my class and see how they do.  WOW!  When I was watching Tony do his exercises he seemed to get winded really fast and he wasn’t really doing anything to hard compared to say the Plyometrics on P90x.  So, I thought I would just add 15 seconds of jumping jacks in between the little 30 seconds exercises. 

He has three segments on this dvd.  The famous squat and turn, I have a kid who really loves this exercise and I told him to keep it low and not jump because he has to do this 3 times.  Well, just like a meat head he goes all out.  He is huffing and puffing by the end of section 1.  I then tell the class to do jacks, then the next exercise is a lunge and reach, well again add a little plyo jump there and you have your heart rate going crazy.  30 seconds doing jacks and the squat kicks.  No time for break.  Tony however takes a little break for some water.  No water break until all 3 segments are complete.  Yes folks, they were huffing and puffing and they still have 2 more sections to go.

Now, this Super Cardio is only 35 minutes long.  Well, I add the Killer ABs from the One on One dvd.  Had to get those abs in.  They loved it.  Well, maybe I loved hearing them moan.  HA!  280 reps of crunches total.  They should be hurting today.

Oh, by the way, I had a soccer player in the class and he ran three miles before coming to class.  He was hurting.  I tell those people not to really exert themselves before they come to class because they will not have anything left to do the class because Tony doe not call it extreme for nothing people. 

Make sure you have your water and towel when doing thise exercises.  Burn those calories. Not sure how many it burned because I was busy with the stop watch and busy keeping everyone motivated.  Next time I will do the whole thing, maybe I will leave out the jacks. HA Not a chance.  Come on you have to push it.

I just received my new DVD from Tony.  It is called Super Cardio.  I am so totally stoked on what he has in store for us. 

Tony is one crazy individual but I do love his workouts.  I did a cardio combo last night and I incorporated all the jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts and then a touch of Turbos (Chalene Johnson) in there to raise the heart rate.

I love getting the heart rate up and working on the heart muscle.  If you want your performance to improve you need to work that muscle too.

I will get back with you on the Cardio thing.  I can’t wait to use it on my college students.  They are going to die.

Beach body has some awsome products too and they work!

Can not believe that 2009 is upon me.  It has been a crazy year.  I am putting 2008 out the window and hope the Texas wind doesn’t bring it back.  I am ready for a great 2009.  I am tired on being broke and I am tired of being the same weight for the past 5 years.  I can go down, but then my body likes to go back where it is confrontable.  Well, I have news for the body.  Next year in about 4 hours, I have something else in mind.  I plan on making a plan and completing my P90x and the upgrade.  Workout to the new Chalean Extreme Workout program.  View a couple of more tapes, get my bio down for a company that is waiting for me to get my crap together, focus on marketing the studio more and beachbody stuff and the list goes on.  This year I am not going to slack and let the days leave me behind.

With that being said, tomorrow I have the review on Tony’s holiday treat in which I watched the other day and I think tomorrow as a Post Holiday Recovery Workout I will do that one.  Not too long of a workout.

I want to wish all of my followers a Happy New Year and let’s bring it for 2009.

Back in October I mentioned that I received Tony’s One-on-One DVD for “Just Arms”  Well, I am getting my act together again and I finally did the workout.

I brought home from the Studio my 6 pounders, 7 pounders and then my 15 pounders.  Well, I left the 8 pounders at the studio and I meant to just pick up another set to have at the house.  HA!

Tony works the Biceps, Triceps, and the forearms in this video.

Biceps “the two-headed Biceps brachii muscle on the inside of each upper arm.”  You know the part on the arm that all the girls look at on a man after they see the washboard ABS.  AKA “The Guns”

 Okay now here is mine. 

I know kind of sad.  I really should have taken the picture when I was all pumped up. 

Tony breaks the routine up and does one set of Biceps, then one set of Forarms and then one set of Triceps. He then goes back and does that set again.  So, you actually do two sets of the exercise.  Gives you a chance to make the adjusts on the weights that you need, just like the Bodybuilders do.  I was able to do the 15 pretty good.  Now, I did not do all the reps, I picked 15 reps to do.  That really should be the max, because I am not trying to really get my guns to pop out like most men do, I just want them to be strong.

Tony does about 15 sets of exercises, not just the ones that I mentioned.  But he does 3 different exercises 2 times and then does another group.  There are some great exercises for the forearms.

The forearms seem like they get left out on most workouts and I am so glad that Tony put them in on this video.  Those muscles need to be strong. The forearm contains many muscles, including the flexors and extensors of the digits, a flexor of the elbow (brachioradialis), and pronators and supinators that turn the hand to face down or upwards, respectively.

I found a great website that has some excellent forearm exercises.  Go check them out if you are looking for those popeye forearms. 

Oh, those Triceps are such a stubborn muscle for me.  Did you know it is the tricep that really makes the bicep pop out.  You need to work your triceps to get the thickness in your guns.  I truly hate those muscles.  It seems no matter how hard I work them and keep increasing the weight, they just seem weak.  Either I know I need to work them.  They help in my push-ups and they are the primary muscles for throwing. 

“The triceps is an extensor muscle of the elbow joint, and is an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It can also fixate the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for fine movements, e.g., when writing.”

“The triceps accounts for approximately 70 percent of the upper arm’s muscle mass.”  Yes, you read that correctly. 

If you are looking for a great arm workout, then I suggest you grab Tony’s “Just Arms” workout.  Now, the DVD said 47 minutes, but I forwarded the tape alot to get the workout in 30 minutes, Tony’s spends alot of time chatting, but in that chatter he has some great information.

Get started today on that physique you have always wanted.  “A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”  -Karen Lamb.

Why wait, what are you waiting for?  Either today or tomorrow, either 10 pounds lost or 10 pounds gained, it is your call. 

I am so excited about this event.  I can even begin to tell you.  I have a chance to go meet the one and only Tony Horton today in Dallas.  It is about a 3 hour drive.  I am worried about Hurricane Ike.  But not too worried, when I set my mind to it I go and do it no matter the cost.

I debated about this for a couple of days and all my friends said go.  There was a reason for the cancellation of the Personal Training Class.  My Bunco friends will surely understand what a fitness fanatic I am.  I know they support me.

I can’t wait for all the exciting news, plus I get to workout with Tony.  Last year, I went and workout with Chalene Johnson and that was so much fun.  Again, I drove about 3 hours to get there for a 1 hour workout but it was worth it because she signed my shoe.  Yes.  I got to workout with Leslie Bender a couple of weeks ago and that was great too.  I have met Mindy Mylrea and what a little spit fire she is, she is soo great.  I really love her too. 

I will be back with an update and pictures of me and Tony.  I know you are all jealous.  Ha.  Keep working out and keep working out hard.

Last year I became a Million Dollar Body Coach.  Why? Well, the are the ones who with BeachBody have an online workout in which you could win daily prizes, i.e. ipod, vcr,dvd and much more.  I bought the starter package which came with HIP HOP ABS with Sean T, Turbo Jam with Chalene Johnson (awesome), Yoga Booty Ballet, (jury still out on this one), Slim in 6 and the beast of them all POWER 90X.  This workout will put the best shape person to shame.

Last year, I got all excited and wanted to try it out.  I recently had received my certification in Turbo Kick and had been doing that for a while.  I had been teaching step and a whole bunch of stuff at the colleges as well.  I thought I was in great shape.  So, I thought to myself, what the heck I will give it a go.  Can someone please tell me how crazy stupid I was. 

The Power 90X comes with it’s own book of different eating plans.  It comes with a book on all the programs you can do.  Okay, 3 programs in all.  You are suppose to keep up with the program for 90 days and Tony guarantees that you will be ripped by the end.  I have no doubt. 

I started with the classic workout.  I actually stuck with it for 3 weeks when on the 4th week, Tony gives you a break.  But not really.  The exercises he claims are light.  Right Tony.  So, since I had been doing my fitness classes at 2 colleges a total of 5 classes plus all the classes at the studio, I thought I should give my body a whole week off from the Power 90x.  Big mistake!  Well, just like normal people, I put it off and put if off because I knew the program was extremely difficult for me.  So, why in the world would I want to go back to it.  Well, I didn’t  Just like I say “A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.”  I am back in the saddle and actually have given my self a deadline to get those abs showing again.  I have to do it for the kids.

I have completed day two and it freakin wore my butt out.  Again, I am thinking what they heck am I putting myself though this torture.  A good torture though.  I will keep you posted on my progress.  Let’s see if I can make it pass week 4.

I love Tony so much and he is a great motivator that I have actually signed up for his one on one.  I totally wish I could go to California to meet him.   Someday.
