This Weekend: Went tubing with some friends down the river again! FUN FUN FUN!!! Left: Our limo tube we got & love (that is not us LOL, stock photo). We also have a floating cooler for our snacks & drinks... Right: My friend & I with our oars (messing around while the boys inflate our tube)... .Also went to a housewarming party for some friends. She ordered a cake/ cupcake combo so I will have pics up in the next few days.
24 Day Challenge: Well I am still down my 10 lbs from my 24 Day Challenge! Woot- super happy about that. The meal plan is so doable, filling, and all healthy whole foods so its pretty dang easy to stick to and allows for some cheats (read cake)....
Today's Tip: Diet Food - Bitter Melon
This bitter and slightly sweet melon is typically found in Asian markets and helps improve digestion and lower blood sugar. “Keeping blood sugar under control is important if you want to lose weight,” says Nicole Kuhl. “Too much sugar in the blood stream sends a signal to the pancreas to release the fat storing hormone insulin. By keeping your blood sugar under control, you will reduce the likelihood of storing calories as fat.” Can’t stomach the bitterness? Try soaking it in chilled saltwater for a few hours prior to eating (raw or cooked). Read more on Self
Michelle Dozois, 2011 ***** (5 of 5 stars)
Michelle leads this 24 minute core workout in a roomy white/ hardwood gym with a group of exercisers. You will need a dumbbells and your PeakFit band for this workout. Modifications are shown for most exercises.
This dvd was designed to be broken up to add on to your other PeakFit workouts or can be done in whole. The workout is broken down into four 5 minute segments. The first segment is standing core work with the dumbbell, the second is floor and plank exercises, the third is floor band work, and the forth is mostly crunch variations and includes a stretch.
exercises include: dumbbell to knee pull down, windmill, side swings, halo, rocking plank, knee tuck planks, roll from a V sit into a side plank, supermans, 1 arm & 1 leg planks, scissors, crunch leg extensions, kneeling band crunches, band donkey kicks, scissors, and side plank hip drops.
I would rate this an intermediate core workout that is easy to break up or do in its entirety. I found the exercises (for the most part) unique and all were effective. Michelle does a great job as a lead. The music is good. Time flew (I did it all in one sitting). Good core workout!
