Why Track Cardio to Burn Fat?
14 January 08 03:08 PM | Corinne | 8 comment(s)

It takes intensity in EVERYTHING you do to lose weight and burn fat. You need to journal with intensity, strength train with intensity, eat with focused intensity, and do your cardio with MAD INTENSITY. The key word: INTENSITY. A concept I have recently...

First, I’m starting a new blog because my old blog didn’t have some of the features I was needing. I hope anyone who was following the old stuff will appreciate this new site just for my diet and exercise information. It seems to be more robust and user...

Wow, that was an amazing experience. If you ever get a chance to go you should. Talk about a motivating weekend filled with lots of butt busting workouts (one motto is: pop-squat your a** off! and they mean it), and diet information. I learned so much...

Hello Arms!
21 October 07 02:47 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my arms workout and it went good. My left arm is still so weak since my December Ulnar Nerve injury. Anyway, when I was doing my curls today I had to use 5lbs on the left arm. I guess that nerve must effect the bicep firing mechanism. Anyway...

Legs in the Morning and Cardio in the Evening
21 October 07 02:45 PM | Trish | with no comments

I haven’t done this in awhile, but I split my routine today because I woke up at the crack of dawn and couldn’t go back to sleep. All I had time to do was knock one or the other out and since my weights routines are so intense I decided I should do it...

Sunday and It’s a New Week

The definition is starting to pop on my upper body. Legs are looking better, but with my loose skin they may always be a mess. I’m very happy with my upper body though. Looks like the new training and eating is really working. I took off yesterday. Business...

Listen to Your Body When You Diet and Exercise
21 October 07 02:41 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I woke up sort of sore and just feeling a little sluggish. After coffee and breakfast I decided I had too much to do today to try and force a huge leg workout and cardio session that would likely leave me washed out for the rest of the day. Using...

For all of us ladies who carry our weight in our lower half, working your upper body can be a great way to “reshape your body.” Although you can’t spot reduce, you can build out the areas of your body that are naturally leaner so that the eye is drawn...

My Arm Workout…Not a Creative Title
21 October 07 02:33 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I couldn’t think of anything nifty to start off the post. I think I’m just exhausted and sitting in Panera with the sweet smells of breads and pastries is about all I can freaking handle! It was arm day and I had to hustle through the workout to...

Simple Three Group Chest Workout
21 October 07 02:31 PM | Trish | with no comments

Let me begin with saying the push up challenge is certainly working my chest and arms because my upper body is just raging from all of this work. Compound that with my near crippled legs from yesterday’s “how to fry your legs without any weights” workout...

Chest, Shoulders, and Legs…Oh MY!
21 October 07 02:22 PM | Trish | with no comments

The last three days have been interesting since I each workout has involved shoulders. I didn’t plan it that way but by the end of my chest workout (which involved a lot of bearcrawling and a lot of push ups) I noticed my shoulders felt like they were...

Rarely will you ever do anything harder in your life than try to lose weight. Alcoholics can stop drinking, smokers can stop smoking, but when you have to lose weight you can’t just stop eating. The temptation is all around you. It’s the one “addiction...
