Bringing Buff Back

Joanne Greggins back in the 80's Fitness Trainer When I was growing up I always caught my mother doing all of Joanne Greggins and Jane Fonda's videos early in the morning. I was intrigued, after school I would do all of my mother's videos before anyone got home. I did that for years! I was in the best shape! Now I am looking to push beyond my younger years, and prove to myself that YES I can do ANYTHING, and I will find my buff body!  Tuesday, June 21st Today I worked on doing 30 minutes of yoga, and 30 minutes of cardio. I think this week I am going to try to do something totally crazy!! I am going to do a brief video of me working out at the gym, and see if I can attach it to this blog! Also, I am going to start posting some recipes for a healthy quick meals! Yummy!! Wednesday-Sunday: I walked 2 miles each day. On a previous blog I had talked about how much television are you watching? I added up my numbers for the week, and felt ill when I ...

Now she did not have much weight to lose as I do. But she still looks phenomenal! Friday, June 17th  Today is my first day back in the gym from my intestinal inflaming. It felt GREAT! I completed 40 minutes of cardio on an elliptical machine. After completed some additional stretching on one of their machines. I can feel the stretch all the way down my lower back.  My goal in 8 weeks is to restart Jackie Warner's 4 week workout! But first I have to iron out some issues.  Saturday, June 18th       8-)) I woke up extremely tight and sore. I started my day with Back Pain Yoga. The first pose where you put one leg on the other legs thigh, and try and grab your foot to stretch out. Oh Boy! I could barely touch my toes with only one hand LOL!! The second position where we put our feet together and bring them up to you. It felt like glass in my back and hips. The Lord of the Fishes pose, let me just say I can't really get into that position. I had...

Week 1 Week one is here, and here we go! Below is the list of 13 exercises that will be done 2x's a week on Monday & Thursdays (work best for my schedule), and the rest of the week will be cardio, and stretching. For the first two weeks the goal is to do one set of 20 for each exercise even if it has to be modified. It has to be done! Five days a week will be at least 30 minutes of cardio. Even if you do 10 minutes riding a bike, another 10 minutes walking, and the last 10 minutes on an elliptical. However you want to do your cardio just know it has to be done. The same thing with stretching you are going to need to stretch out your muscles to break up the lactic acid in which causes some discomfort when first starting out on an exercise program. Plus, we also need our joints to move around like they are supposed to and not tighten up as we move forward in life. But the good news is you have the weekends off! When you start a workout program do not over do ...
