Do you have ugly love handles or the “pouch” that so many women have been stuck with after child birth? Do you have just a few extra unwanted pounds that you would like to get rid of? Do you want an exercise machine that will show results quickly? If you fall in this category then I have the piece of equipment you have been looking for.

The newest piece of fat burning technology is the Ab Circle Pro. This machine combines abdominal exercise workouts with a great cardio workout that will have you burning fat in no time. If you are like millions of others you can honestly ask what the correct way to exercise your abs is. You can stop the life long search and start your path to a better looking body just by trying the Ab Circle Pro.

The Ab Circle Pro was designed while keeping in mind that the average person wants an exercise machine that will show results. While using this machine you will of course need to be eating right, and you will see remarkable results. If you are having second thoughts already because you have tried various ab machines in the past then pay no attention to those horrible thoughts. Even you have what it takes to succeed with this machine. The Ab Circle Pro was designed so you would not have to learn the correct way to do a crunch, you just position yourself on the machine and do as the video shows, it’s that simple.

The Ab Circle Pro glides along a friction free track back and forth giving you the even burn across your stomach. While your tummy is being exercised your waist is also being toned and you are getting a great cardiovascular workout burning calories for fat loss. This system is fool proof so anyone can easily figure it out. Not only will your central abs get toned so will your obliques.

Your arms and chest also get a workout because they are supporting your body weight while exercising. The unique design of the hand positions provides an excellent way of strengthening the arms and shoulders because they are supporting your upper body. You will also build bone density which guards against brittle bones down the road. There are adjustments you can make on the machine that will allow you to get a bun and thigh workout.

With the Ab Circle Pro you can get the great looking waistline you have always dreamed of. You can use this machine for only two to five minutes a day and see amazing results in as little as two weeks. Why would you do another back breaking sit up or go through another calorie counting diet after hearing about the results of this product? The Ab Circle Pro is a fun and easy way to look your best so jump on board and show everyone the better you!!

It is so much fun and so different then a DVD.

Wow, is all I have to say.  I am sore as hell after starting this workout DVD by Jillian Michaels called Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred. I am glad to be sore because that means I am on my way to shredding off this excess weight for good! (20 pounds that is, but hopefully less when I weight in tomorrow.) This workout is great for any workout level given that she includes her 3-2-1 Interval System that combines strength, cardio, and abs to burn through calories for a awesome 30 day weight loss.

The DVD includes three 20 minute workouts which progress by level of intensity. I am so glad there was a level one, because I have not workout at my advance level in a long time and if I did I would have hurt myself, lol. So,  this was a great start and man was I out of breath and out of shape.

I feel that this is a great workout for someone starting to exercise and does not have access to a gym. All you will need is a set of dumbbells. I started of with 5’s and I will begin to increase it up to 8lbs next weeks. I you need a new workout get Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred.

Remember in my previous post I was talking about starting this 8 week slimdown program I found on bodybuilding.com. Well, I officially started it on Sunday 7/6/08!! I was just so excited to get started because I had a bit of fun eating on the 4th of July. Burgers, hotdogs, and I will not name any more. Saturday evening I ventured out to the grocery store and picked up my goods for this week. I am not kidding. Check out my stash below:

My list of goods consisted of:

• turkey bacon
• turkey deli meat
• chicken breast
• tuna
• steak
• salmon
• Almonds
• eggs & egg whites
• salad
• low fat mayo
• low fat yogurt
• non fat cottage cheese
• instead of cream of rice I did instant grits
• fruits, veggies
• low fat dressing
• natural peanut butter
• diet soda
• green tea

Phew!! Long list. So far I have been working this plan and I am seeing results already like 3lbs!! My exercise plan for myself so far is:

• 20-30 minute walk/jog in the morning or elliptical
• afternoon either cardio (interval training) or weight training the upper or lower body on alternate days.

I have to say the food is not bad at all and I now I will be able to make it through the eight weeks and then on to maintaining. I just finished my last workout today which was my lower body (leg extensions, hamstring curls, dead lift, lunges, and abs! So i am happy! I swear I am ready to get down so that I can model my skinny jeans and be ready for our trip to Disney World in September!! Well, I am out for the evening.

Natasha

I think I am ready for a challenge now. I was thinking to myself today, that I need something new to try. A different workout plan, meal plan, and mind set to follow. I feel like I am doing the same thing with eating and workouts and I am boring myself to death. So I decided to hop on my favorite site which is bodybuilding.com and believe me it has been a long time since I have visited this site.

However, I came across this 8 week summer slimdown plan to follow in order for me to reach my goal and not lose focus. I like that it maps out a eating plan and workout to following which I feel I need right now. Something to follow and say hey Natasha do this today or cook this today to get me going. The article is by Myron Miekle a bodybuilder himself check out his site.

Now, I am contemplating should I start this plan effective tomorrow? Or wait until the 4th of July celebrating is over? I am thinking, I am not going to over eat anyway, because I do not want to screw up my week. So I guess why not start tomorrow? Check this out and if you are up for a challenge join me and we can do it together. Well I better get my grocery list together so that I can have everything ready to get started.

Hey you all. I was just reading on the net today and came across this interesting information that is really making me want to purchase the Wii fit system NOW!. Majesco announced on June 12th the launch of the Fitness Ultimatum 2009 with Julian Michaels as the fitness coach for this holiday 2008. Do you all not how fierce her workouts are? Oh my gosh!! check out this site called Gamasutra.com for more info regarding this new info. I am totally talking to DH to purchase the Wii Fit system this month!!

We have the Nintendo Wii Console and it is loads of fun. So far we have the wii spots which is filled with interactive games like bowling, golf, tennis, and many more and the Guitar hero III. The other day my son and I was at the mall and they had a Wii fit section displayed with experts to show you how to use the system and you can actually play on the equipment too. Man did I get a workout. I think this will help with that workout boredom that I get from doing the same thing most of the time. Anyone of you have this system yet? How would you rate it?

Check out this routine to really get you booty firm this swimsuit season. I was on Oxygen.com my favorite site as you know by now and found this awesome routine to firm the butt. I remember doing these workouts when I had a gym membership and the one workout the comes to mind that really had my butt on fired was this below.

Take a bosu, if you are lucky enough to have a Fitness Quest Bosu Balance Trainer because they cost approx $99, and also gave some few weight 8- 10lbs and start to squat. You really burn some calories doing this because your muscles are trying to stabilize at the same time. Last summer my buns and legs were awesome looking, so I totally recommend this to be added into your strength training routine. I know this winter/spring I will be purchasing one along with a workout DVD too,so that I can have my lower half back, lol. If you don’t have a Bosu try these other butt busters by clicking here.

happy Friday!!

I forgot to post yesterday’s workouts. It wasn’t nothing to brag about all I did was;

1. lounges 3×15
2. squats 4×15
3. inner and outer thigh abductions 4×15
4. abs: crunches, obliques, lower ab 3x 15 per section

I did not get any cardio in which was bad but today I will totally make up for it. Yesterday I just received my order from collage video which is my Jari Love’s DVD Get Ripped 1000 . It included muscle training and cardio. I so can’t wait to workout to it, but I will wait until my hubby gets home so that I can completely concentrate without my little guy distracting me from the workout. I will definitely let you all know how the workout goes. Does anyone of you own this workout? if so let me know your likes and dislikes about it. I saw it in Oxygen and on other sites too and since the reviews were good I ordered it.

My meal plan so far is great. I just need to stick to it without cheating before bedtime. That is what happened last night. I worked late and forgot to pack my last meal for the day which is usually a protein bar or some other snack. So as a result I came home and was hungry and snacked like a pig. I swear I woke up in the middle of the night a felt heartburn from eating too many chips and pizza. I felt sick. Now, after eating a healthy breakfast and lunch I feel better. Thank God the scale was kind to me and did not rebel, lol. So my plan today:

1. breakfast: protein shake, fruit
2. lunch: tuna salad, salad 5, and melba crackers
3. Snack: yogurt, fruit
4. dinner: chicken, salad, asparagus
5. snack/dessert: protein shake (My BSN!!!)

Well, I am off for now. I need to go see how my other friends are doing today and get more inspiration too.
