There's something about hand-on-the-hip posing for Summer Bikini Pictures that makes women want to tone those arms! I've let you in on the secret before...it is not so much about those curls and triceps extensions as it is about those SHOULDERS. I'm trying to shake the idea that lifting heavy bulks you up, because as… Continue reading Upper Body with Shoulder Burnout
After doing the same 5 minute Abdominal Workout with optimal results (that I featured here), I figured there has to be a sequel! The reason I loved the original workout was because it targeted all areas of the abdominals (upper, lower and obliques), it included 10 simple exercises and it could be done in 5… Continue reading My Favorite Ab Workout, Upgraded!
I'm not saying it's how they got their big butts, but I have seen this move in many of their episodes with celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson. That's why I include "Kardashian Jumps" in a lot of my leg day workouts. The truth behind the move is heavy lifting combined with cardio bursts helps to burn… Continue reading Kardashian Jumps?

At your gym, Find the resistance bands, stability Ball, pull-up bar, and small barbels… Continue reading Ab Circuit: Band + Ball + Bar + Barbel

The key to this one...Start by putting sage in the jug or your cup,… Continue reading Blackberry-Sage Infused Water
I love this quick little circuit for all-over body! 20 Leg Raise + 10 Landmine Thrusters + 10 Ball Slams, then reps of 18-9-9, 16-8-8 all the way to 2-1-1! If that's not enough, try adding another circuit using the same rep scheme, but these exercises: 10 Assisted Pull-ups + 10 Kettlebell Swings + 20… Continue reading All-Over Body Circuit
