Welcome to my home gym! I have been building (and still building) it over the years. I train from here about 2-3 times a week and I also train my clients from here. My dream would be to have a “Kardashian” home gym but that might be a bit over my budget.

No matter how active I am, even as a kid, I've always carried extra weight around the middle which inspired my primary goal: weight loss.

I'm currently focused on walking, yoga and strength training - that's where Tonal Home Gym Review comes in, so let's get into it!
A few weeks ago, I was staying in a hotel with my son. He likes to sleep in, so if I wanted to squeeze in a morning workout, I had to do it in a very small, confined space. I also had to make sure it wasn't super noisy. That's how this workout was created. It was just supposed to be someth
One of the best things about my programs is that they can be completed anywhere — at the park, at the beach, or in the comfort of your own home. However, I know that there are so many girls that also love training at the gym and want to incorporate more equipment (specifically weights) into their workouts. That is why I have decided to release my new program High Intensity Strength with Kayla (formerly BBG Stronger)!

While it’s important to train your abs to strengthen your core as well as make you look more attractive, many people forget or just don’t know how to train the obliques. Obliques are actually more important than abs if you are looking for pure athleticism. Your obliques are firing when you rotate, bend and flex your trunk. These movements are all heavily used in all sports. […]

The lower back is a sensitive spot for many people. While there can be a ton of causes of lower back pain, a weak core and poor posture from sitting all day (and consequently shortening the hip muscles that then pull on the lower back) are two really common contributing factors to lower backaches and discomfort. It’s always important to […]
Hello, dear friends. I bet you never thought in a million years that you would see a work-out post on this blog. Believe me, neither did I. I have a wonderful surprise for you today. I have a guest who has agreed to share some tips on how to lose pounds as well as inches. Kathy went to school with my Sista at Mount Vernon College and I got to know her on Facebook. Kathy mentioned on one of her posts that she has lost weight with the help of Weight Watchers and exercises that she found on Pinterest. Some of the illustrations are not as clear as they should be so I included the links. Take it away, Kathy... My name is Kathy and have battled with fluctuating weight since giving birth to my daughters. I’ve tried the Atkins diet, counting calories via MyFitnessPal, and eliminating everything “white” from my diet. I’ve bought into gym memberships, fitness videos (Hip Hop Abs and the 21-day fix), Zumba classes, Jazzercise, and yoga. But, with the onset of turning 55 this summer I decided to give the new Weight Watchers Points Plus program a try. I began my journey in late May and as of today I am down 13 lbs. I could/should be down more but I spent my summer off (from teaching) traveling and enjoying LIFE. With each trip, I would gain 1-3 lbs. back but with support and encouragement from my daughters, I would lose it. I incorporated exercises I found on Pinterest into my daily schedule and supplemented them with swimming, cycling, and walking. I utilize my Fitbit religiously! The Pinterest exercises (arms, abs, and thighs) have helped me shed some much-needed inches while increasing my muscle mass. The following are the Pinterest posts that I found to be helpful. link This is the set of movements that I told you about. My knees are not that great (must be because I turned 55)! I have been doing these activities for 4 weeks every other day. (I alternate my arms with my lower body). This set of activities is what helped me reduce that extra "flab" around my mid-section. It also has helped to tighten my butt! When I am finished with this activity I do 150 "high steps". This is where you lift your knee up high enough to meet the palms of your hands. I usually do this walking from my bedroom into the kitchen to get a drink of water. The puppies look at me like I'm CRAZY. If I do a set of the high steps in the AM I try to do another set in the PM. The butt muscles and hips really get a great workout. link I have NEVER lost that little pooch area of my tummy. I began doing this group of movements this past week. I waited to start this because I previously had too much "flab" around my middle and on my hips. That extra "flab" really made it difficult for me to even pull my back up off the floor. These activities have helped with the pooch a bit (just 1 week) and with my flexibility. link Because I've already adjusted to the 6 lb weights, I like this AB workout. I find myself doing this while i"m watching TV (Today Show or Evening News). I've even begun to do the Wood Chops (Dumbbell Side Bends) in the kitchen without the weights. I engage my core section (suck them in!) while I'm waiting for the microwave to go off! I find that I'm really more attuned to my movements and how I can work different groups of muscle throughout the day. link I added a couple of the movements (photos 1-3) from this mini-workout to the other workout, using the same amount of sets and reps. link I began using this workout about 4 weeks ago. There was another Pin that recommended doing this activity every other day, so I applied this info to this activity. I began with 6 lb weights and I can actually feel the burn once i get to the 3rd set. Each 30 sec. set is equal to about 10-12 reps. link This is the last exercise routine that I have been doing. Like I stated, I love the activities that I can do on the floor because my knees aren't so hot! My thighs were rather "soft and giggly" and I didn't like the way I looked in jeans. This workout has helped "slenderize" them and although my husband can see the results I still feel that I have a long way to go. Thank you, Kathy, for a wonderful post. You are a true inspiration! Until next time... Chili: Hey Chow, does this collar make me look fat? Chowdah: Yup. Chili: MOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
