Guillermo Gomez, 2011 ***** (5 of 5 stars)
Guillermo leads this fun 40 minute kickboxing routine with 2 background exercisers (Jessica Smith is one!) in a nice open set with Asian styling. You won't need any equipment for this workout. The dvd also contains a 4 min kickboxing basics tutorial and a 10 min bonus martial arts drills segment.
Guillermo does a fantastic job of really keeping things moving along, working up a great sweat, fun but NOT complicated or boring choreo, and his cuing is excellent. Exercises include: jabs, cross, upper cut, hook, speed bags, knee pulls, front kicks, & double jab combined into a fun kickboxing routine. He adds in jacks and squat pulses to keep the heart rate up.
I rate this a solid intermediate workout that is really appropriate for most all fitness levels- add some weighted gloves to amp up the intensity, or tone it down for a lighter day. Great cuing, great pace, lots of fun and the perfect balance of fun - not boring- not complex choreo. I received this dvd to review.
Weekend Cupcake Booth: Here's some pics of some of the cupcakes from my booth. It was a holiday market place so they are mostly Christmas/ winter themed. Flavors were: red velvet w/ cream cheese icing, caramel apple w/ salted caramel buttercream, chocolate covered cherry, and peppermint patty. I did these "holiday TV Dinners" (turkey leg, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, peas & carrots) cupcake trays that were fun- but I think confused people LOL so I wont do them again :) Will post the other pics later in the week.
Today's Tip: Beans to Fight Cancer
Eat more bean-based meals. In a Harvard study from the International Journal of Cancer 90,638 cancer free women between 26 and 46 years old were monitored for eight years. Those who ate beans or lentils two or more times per week had a 34 percent lower risk of breast cancer than women who ate them one or fewer times per month. Natural substances in beans appear to protect cells from damage that can lead to cancer. Serve them up in delicious ways, like a ginger stir fry with edamame, Moroccan lentil soup, vegetarian chili with red kidney beans, black bean tacos, and enjoy salads topped with marinated tofu.
