Grandma Georgia (that was my great grandma's name)

Today I will become a grandma. While I am so excited to add a beautiful little girl to our family, I am also struggling will the entire grandma concept. I knew it would happen one day, I just didn't think it would come so quickly. Thanks to this lifestyle I adopted almost three years ago I will be a healthy, active, grandma. I get excited thinking about all the adventures ahead, having a strong healthy body will make those adventures, possible. If you would like a review, or a first look at this lifestyle I am speaking of join us for a free class.

Last night's Super Set Workout in Roy

It was great to see the progress of our members in Roy. They are losing fat and gaining muscle together. For those who couldn't make it out, I am posting our workout. The body responds best (more fat burn) when you break up your regular routine and shock it with something new, at least once every two weeks. I also recommend getting on my body fat scale to check progress and adjust calories at least once a month. Losing weight at the expense of losing muscle, slows down your metabolism. As you gain muscle, calories must be increased to support new muscle growth, for weight loss to be maintainable. If you are not able to attend a group class, call to set up an individual check up. I would love to help you plan for, and monitor your success, on your road to better health, fat loss and muscle development.

This workout is a cardio workout designed to target your lower body. Time yourself and move as quickly from one exercise to the next as possible. The next time you do it try to finish it in less time. Last night we got to the top of the set in about 13 min. it took us almost 10 ten mins to work back down. There was one exercise I didn't like so I changed it, which will change the time a bit.

This is an add on workout do exercise (#1) (#1 and #2) (#1 #2#3) (#1#2#3#4) (#1#2#3#4#5)

get a drink and take a quick breather, now work backwards and take away one exercise each time until you end with #1 the way you started.

Exercise #2) 10 deep squats (remember your breathing technique for making a flat belly)

Exercise #3) 10 surfer, jump, power ups

Exercise #4) 10 right lunge jumps (right leg back) 10 left lunge jumps

When is the best time of day to Exercise?

I am asked this question a lot. I believe the best time to exercise depends on the person. If you are not a morning person, an early morning exercise plan may not be a good idea. You would most likely be groggy, irritable, prone to injury, and less likely to be consistent. You decide what will work best for you, and make it a regular part of your daily routine. As a young mother my favorite time of the day to exercise was in the early morning while the family slept. Mornings came with fewer conflicts, and I was more consistent. Now as an older mother my favorite time to exercise is in the late evening after the little ones are in bed. I like my new exercise routine for two reasons #1 I get to sleep in, and the older I get the more I enjoy that. #2 I get to workout with Kirt my husband, who has never, and will never be, a morning exerciser. We motivate each other, which makes us more consistent. Having a workout partner is key to consistency.
