Nutrition and Weight Training for Women
Today’s CrossFit workout includes 5 sets of 3 overhead squats. I’ve never actually done overhead squats so I’m kind of excited! I have no idea how much I can squat with weight over my head but we’ll see I suppose! CrossFit Workout Overhead Squat: 5 sets of 3 reps; 35# I COMPLETELY underestimated overhead squats! [...]
I can’t tell you how often I’ve brought up interval training since I started this blog almost 3 years ago. The stuff really works if you’re trying to blast body fat. Studies have even shown that high intensity interval training actually burns more fat than steady cardio. The reason is because during interval training you [...]
If you’ve ever done interval training with some kind of stop watch or by trying to keep track in your head, it’s a pretty difficult thing to do. Interval training is intended to be done at precise intervals which is what makes them so effective. And…this would be why the Gymboss Interval Timer is an [...]
This was my most favorite shoulder workout ever! Normally I’m not one to get excited about a shoulder workout but I did a couple of new-to-me exercises which made it pretty fun. A lot of women neglect working out the shoulders and they seem to concentrate more on the larger muscle groups (or just cardio..) [...]
I enjoy doing product reviews on my fitness blog from time to time because I think it’s useful to learn as much as you can about certain products before you buy them – especially with fitness programs. If you haven’t heard of Step 360 before now, that’s because it’s brand new. It’s been on the [...]
I don’t know about you but summer workouts just suck. Actually I shouldn’t say the workouts themselves suck, but getting motivated to work out when it’s so warm and humid is a bit tough. Today I did a women’s strength training workout for chest and then followed that up with a quick fat burning cardio [...]
To be blunt, frumpy butts are not attractive and in most cases probably mean you could be in not-so-good health as well. Whether the cause is from excess body fat, a lack of exercise or both, you don’t have to have frumpy butt syndrome forever. There are a couple things you can do to get [...]
Today was another cardio workout day for me. It’s really starting to get easier which makes me pretty happy because I’ve always hated cardio – more specifically steady state cardio – but it really does start to get easier once your body gets used to running. I’m pleasantly surprised how much I’m actually starting to [...]
Wow. I’m so sorry this workout post is kind of late. I got a message from a reader today saying that they were unable to leave comments. Well that can’t happen right now because that’s how you enter to win the EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale giveaway! Needless to say, I was agonizing over this problem [...]
I’m really liking the current workout split that I’ve got going on. Today was an upper body workout followed by HIIT (or high intensity interval training). My legs have actually recovered from my last lower body workout and that makes trying to sprint a whole lot easier. When I was doing the full body workouts [...]
The only fat loss program that I have tried that has really been working for me is actually a treadmill workout. This week I have started doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) again and am already seeing changes in my body. My waist feels smaller, the back fat from my pregnancies is diminishing and I’ve [...]
Wondering how to loose belly fat? Belly fat can be pretty *#&$ stubborn and a bit harder to get rid of, but if you incorporate the following steps, you’ll be looking at a flatter belly in no time. *Note: you will have to work for it! It’s important to do all of these steps, the [...]
