My favorite individual workouts

Perusing through my blog history, I noticed that I tend to talk more about systems and programs than I do individual workouts.  Well, it's time for me to share the love for exercise DVDs that don't come with tape measures and eating guides.

Healthy, gluten-free, two-ingredient pancakes...and they actually taste good!

After having a moment of relapse in the midst of my "no refined carbohydrate" challenge for the month of February, I have rebounded with these fantastic pancake recipe I found online...and I am addicted!

Somtimes I just want a piece of bread...with cheese...and a latte

So I am already 2.5 lbs down while in the middle of carb-free challenge for the month February...but the cravings are relentless!

(Refined) Carb-free February

 Blogger note: this is part 1 in a series where I participate in a monthly diet and/or exercise challenge as part of a journey to improve my health.

I need a little Namaste in my life

Namaste: a common spoken greeting or salutation originating from India and Nepal. 

But I am specifically referring to the yoga show on the now defunct Fit TV.  Curse you, Oprah!

Sample the JNL style workouts

Lately, I have been gushing about how great the 30/30 format of circuit training is, based on the format of the JNL Fusion program.  Well, I thought I would share some clips of Jennifer Nicole Lee's workouts for those not familiar with her style of workouts.   

30/30 and 60/30: my new favorite way to exercise

As promised, I will share with you how I am managing to exercise without fitness DVDs and creating my own circuit workouts.

Sayanora, video fitness!

After embarrassingly admitting earlier this week that I cannot stay committed to a rotation, I have another one to confess: I am not interested in doing exercise videos.  Blasphemous, I know!

Well I guess I won't be completing a 90-day system anytime soon

I didn't last a week and I got bored with Metamorphosis.

That old feeling and prepping myself for the holiday season

I'm suddenly in the haphazard type of mood. Again. 

Tried Turbo Fire after a long hiatus...

...and I am glad to know I still got it!  Was definitely a bit tough on my calves, but thankfully no plantar fasciitis.

I'm back!

Per usual, an absence on my end of things usually indicates that I have fallen off the wagon--not so fast!  I'm happy to report that I have been consistent this past month and I am starting to see results.

Quickie Reviews

 *UPDATE: I have added two reviews in the Reviews section and am organizing all reviews based on instructor profile. 

I have noticed that when I write reviews for workout systems or DVDs, those blog posts get the most views and bring the most hits to my blog.  Unfortunately, I cannot take the time to review every workout I come across.

My favorite Samhain recipes

In honor of that time of the year where the fall harvest ends and we are at the mercy of evil spirits,  I thought I would lighten the mood by sharing some of my favorite seasonal recipes. 

Okay, I take back what I said...

So on Monday, I lamented that Phase 1 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution wasn't very challenging.  I even had the audacity to call it boring!

I like Body Revolution...but I love 30 Day Shred more!

So I just finished the first two weeks of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and while I do have to commend it for being a solid program, it is making me long for her individual workouts, like 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30. 

The last 12 weeks of the year

I apologize for my absence and if this blog post seems a little...rusty.

Workout schedule for week of 9/17/2012

This is a first for me: I am about to embark on week 3 of an exercise program...and still madly in love with the program!

Today is my birthday...

...and since I am stuffing my face with treats, validating my free drink at Starbucks and am just overall being chill and lazy, I have no right to lecture anyone about fitness and health right now.  Enjoy your day!

When I'm consist with exercise...

...I notice that things around me just fall into place.
