What are you waiting for???

Hey!

What are you waiting for to get moving, stop eating junk, and improve your health?  I know you are not waiting on a bad news report from the doctor or a scare from an emergency room visit.  You are given one life and one body.  I know everyone is meant to be "skinny" nor does everyone want to be "skinny" or a fitness model.  However, it is up to you to be the healthiest and the best YOU that YOU can be!  One way to determine your "health" is by doing the pinch test.  If you pinch your waist and you have 4 or more inches of chub then it's time to do something.  If your legs have dents and dimples then it's time to do something.  If you are out of breath by climbing stairs or after walking from the parking lot to the store, then it is time to do something.  If you cannot play with your kids or grandkids for 15 minutes without having to take a break then it's time to do something.  If your diet consist of fast foods and processed foods 40% or more a week, then it is definetly time to do something!

Where do I start you say?  Start by cleaning up your diet.  Stop eating out all the time, and eating snack or junk food.  You should be eating food that can spoil if not eaten within a week.  Start exercising at least 4 days a week for 45 minutes to an hour each day. Get your heart rate up and work those muscles.  There is so much technology out there to utilize to show you the moves.  All the fitness magazines have apps with videos of the exercise moves.  Youtube is a wonderful source and so is Vine.  GET TO WORK!!!


You can start with this.

Good Morning!

Of course I love to search the web and explore these "Hollywood" trainers and see what they have to offer.  Well, I have tried Ms. Jeanette Jenkins workout videos and they are something else!!!  The bikini bootcamp video is about 70 minutes of non-stop movement.  The ab video with Kelly Rowland is a killer as well.  I'm not into yoga so I haven't tried that one, but one day I'll get around to it. 

Here is a monthly mapped out workout plan that she created that I think is pretty darn good! Try it out and tell me what you think of the "Hollywood Trainer"
