Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is finally available for purchase now! Remember I did a post about a few months ago? Well, it is here and will be going on my wish list along with the Wii Fit for Christmas. If you are looking for something fun to do you have got to workout on the Wii fit! It is so much fun and so different then a DVD.
Some of the reviews on this particular game was not that good. A majority of people felt that this is more of a game than a fitness program, so I guess I will have to find out for myself, huh? Have any of you purchased this game? If so, please leave some comments to share with us all because many of us here would like to know.
Here is a clip from youtube for you to review. Check it out!!
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.
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?

Are you all ready to get ripped and toned for summer? I have been using this workouts for a weeks and I am seeing some nice results to my body. Now this workout will really get you sore, but all worth it and the end. The DVD is called Get Ripped 1000, by Jari Love and I love it! I found a clip from youtube for you to check out.
Happy Friday all. Do you want to work your abs but don’t want to spend a lot of time doing so? I do and I found a great clip from exercise TV to help get you started. Just think doing this a few days a week along with healthy eating and cardio will get you. It will get you swimsuit ready for sure!! So drop down and give me 2 minutes! Now! I will join too, lol.
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.
I forgot to post yesterday’s workouts. It wasn’t nothing to brag about all I did was;
lounges 3×15
squats 4×15
inner and outer thigh abductions 4×15
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:
breakfast: protein shake, fruit
lunch: tuna salad, salad 5, and melba crackers
Snack: yogurt, fruit
dinner: chicken, salad, asparagus
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.
Chat later
