Killer Leg Workout–No Equipment!

Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:  

Here is a leg workout that uses no equipment.

This of course is great if you are traveling for work, don’t want to join or go to a gym, or you are just plain short on time.

Did you know I can custom design a 4-week program for you personally that is half the price of a single personal training session?

Of course there is nothing like having a trainer right there with you… but when I did a survey of why people don’t hire a personal trainer everyone I asked said it was because of the COST!

So… I took that feedback as how can I make having access to a personal trainer affordable and still give you personal attention?

Honestly… Money will be your last excuse for not doing this: On-line Personal Training!

Here is my “Killer Leg Workout”.  It is a 5-exercise circuit. If you can, do the circuit two times resting two minutes in between…

Just in case that isn’t killer enough… try this Leg Matrix I learned taking a workshop a while back with strength conditioning coach Juan Carlos Santana… Whew!

24 Body-weight squats
24 alternating (12 each side) body-weight lunge
24 alternating jump lunges (12 each side)
24 jump squats

1. Lateral Lunges

Do 8 reps each side

2. Do 8 reps of "Y" squats

3. Single-Legged Get-ups--no hands! Do 8 reps each side.

4. Bulgarian Split Squats-- Do 8 reps each side.

5. Supine Hip Extension--do 8 reps each side

Quick Workout for You

Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:  

If you could get the same fat burning results or better from a 20-30 minute cardio program as you could from one that takes an hour, which would you choose?

Twenty minutes of interval training feels much harder than a slow one hour walk on your treadmill while watching TV for sure.

With interval training you will probably breath harder, sweat more, and need to turn off the TV and focus, but worth the results if you are trying to burn fat!

What’s more, is you don’t need cardio machines to do cardio!

If you are short on time, can’t make it to the gym, have no equipment at home but want a quick effective workout…

…Below is a quick body-weight workout that will get your heart pumping and your fat burning! By the way these exercises came right out of my Women’s In-Home Workout e-Book that you see on the right.

Strength training workouts that use supersets which combine non-competing muscle groups back to back with no rest period in between will help sculpt your body and get you more results in less time… better than taking long walks for sure.

If you want me to personally design 4-week custom programs based on your own equipment (or lack of it), your specific physical needs, and schedule, just go to this link:

Choose the monthly or yearly option… and then the custom program!

Couples Who Get Strong Together… Live Long Together

Filed Under Exercise, Motivation, Nutrition · Tagged:  

Isn’t it time you and your partner really supported each other in your fat loss journey?
Your partner who will be doing every possible step with you to achieve your success?
Your partner who understands you, helps you overcome all the challenges, and share your wins?

Together as a team, you can share an amazing journey towards a better, stronger and healthier relationship… like never before.

• Do you approach weight loss as individuals or work against each other?
• Do you sabotage each other with poor eating choices?
• Do you have equal exercise time in your day-to-day lives, or do you hold resentment for the time that only one of you gets to go to the gym?

If this is you, discover how when you support one another, your chances of success are far greater. You can enjoy the many physical benefits that working out and eating healthy together can offer.

When you work together as a team toward a common goal, you will find there will be a lot more benefits than weight loss alone:

Grow emotionally as a couple as you reinforce good feelings in your relationship by sharing your experience.
Build trust and improve communication.
• Gain a greater respect for each other .
• Have a deeper appreciation for each other’s needs.
• Face challenges and overcome obstacles together better.
• Keep each other accountable.
• Have a greater sexual attraction for each other.

You really CAN get back your sexy body you desire and at the same strengthen your relationship. As a team you can work together on a common goal. This will become an exciting journey for both of you.

• Having a workout partner is often the most critical link to your adherence to exercise. When someone is counting on you to workout, you have to be accountable to the plan.

Working towards a common goal will give you much to talk about and will establish a new connection with each other.

• You will be less likely to cheat on your nutrition plan when someone else is feeling a little stronger than you are at a weak moment.

• You will increase your energy as you begin even to make small changes towards a healthy lifestyle. This will lead to more productivity in other aspects of your life. With both of you having unstoppable energy, it will be a win-win!

• Becoming more physical with each other will establish deeper intimacy and you will have a better self-esteem because of it. As you become more fit and lean, you will FEEL much more attractive when you begin to tone up and fit into smaller sizes. When you feel that good about yourself you will want to share your feelings with your loved one.

• If you have children at home you will become a great role model not only for each other… but for them. Whatever age your children are, the best gift you could ever give them is instilling the value of a healthy lifestyle.

So how can you go about doing all this?

As a special VALENTINE gift to you, from now until February 15th, my coaching program is two for the price of one!

If you are willing to work together as a team… then I would like to be a part of your SUCCESS TEAM too!
