burn baby, burn! {Melt it Off Giveaway} CLOSED

store_product

It’s hard to fit exercise into my busy day. After receiving the Melt It Off! work out DVD’s I have really stuck to an exercise routine and have started looking forward to “me time” …with Mitch!

The secret of Mitch’s exercise program is leveraged core action, using Mitch’s calorie melting weapon, the G-Ball. Each of Mitch’s innovative exercises engages the core and radiates outward targeting every major muscle in your body to sculpt beautiful abs, strong lean arms and to lift and firm the buns and legs.
“Over the years since the Olympics, I’ve trained a lot of people. Other gymnasts, athletes and people that have never worked out before. And the first thing I teach them is that our strength to do just about anything comes right from our core.”

Mitch Gaylord won 4 Olympic medals and has been inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame. He became the first ever American gymnast to score a perfect 10! From his knowledge of core training, he designed the Melt It Off system.
With Mitch’s 3 Day Melt It Off Kick Start, you can start on Wednesday and be a size smaller for the weekend. Guaranteed! In independent university testing, the average result was over 5 pounds and 1 size in just 3 days! {*RESULTS VARY}

So Hollis’ first birthday is next week and I’m so sad to say i still have a good 40 pounds I need to loose of “baby weight”…or maybe it’s ice cream and pizza weight. Whatever it is, it needs to go NOW! I am guilty of not taking good care of myself since becoming a mom, putting my kids, household duties, etc before what I need to do for myself. Making the time to exercise is so hard for me, usually I try to fit it in after I get the kids to bed, but usually by then I’m so tired from the day that it doesn’t end up happening. I was so happy to receive Melt It Off! with Mitch Gaylord fitness program and couldn’t wait to try it! The DVD is complete with 4 different workouts targeting different areas along with the amazing G-Ball. There is a cardio burn & sculpt workout, Sizzlin’ Abs workout, High calorie melt, and the Melt in 10, all incorporating the G-ball to really target your core section! {P.S.  I love that Melt in 10 because if I don’t feel up for an hour workout, I always can make 10 minutes for exercise!}! The workouts are challenging and effective, all making me work hard! I exercised 5 days last week, using the Melt It Off videos and really felt a difference in my mood and energy level. It always makes me feel good to exercise and it’s amazing what a few days of exercise can do for your self esteem! Now I just have to stay on this good path! These videos are great and will definitely be incorporated into my new workout routine!

Today, Mitch is giving away one Melt It Off with Mitch Fitness Program!

Protect Your Assets {Kalyx Giveaway} CLOSED

goKALYX.com

I love, love, love working out!  I love getting sweaty, feeling energetic, and feeling like I just accomplished something great.  I even love wearing workout clothes.  They are comfortable…all except those dang sports bras.  They smash your chest into one flat loaf looking mass.  Then, they don’t give much support!  I have bought the $16.99 sports bras and I have bought the $44 ones.  It doesn’t matter the price or whether it is high impact or not…there is still bouncing going on!  Frustrating!  I don’t know about you girls, but I don’t want to be one of those runners that I see and think, “Oh  honey!  You have got to do something about those things or else you are going to give someone a black eye!”

Kalyx Technologies is out to fix this problem.  I first heard about Kalyx Technologies, Inc. when they were on ABC’s “Shark Tank.”  The thing that really caught my attention was when founder, Kimberly Cayce, said “When a woman exercises, balls are the only thing that should bounce.”  At that moment I thought, “AMEN!”  I was actually VERY surprised that the sharks didn’t back Kimberly up because women really need a good support sports bra.  I swear men made the ones I had bought because they are a joke!  When I found out I was going to have the opportunity to review a Kalyx sports bra I was so excited.  Finally there was hope for my chest!

Kalyx Soccer

“Together with a team of experts, including athletes, architects, designers, engineers, reconstructive surgeons and textile developers, KALYX has created the world’s most advanced line of activity-specific encapsulated sports bras.  Created with K-FORCE Technology, KALYX Sports Bras incorporate revolutionary design, cutting-edge construction, and top-notch composition, creating an overall superior sports bra. KALYX Sports Bras have been engineered to work with a woman’s body depending on what type of activity she enjoys.”

K-FORCE is ultra-lightweight material made from recycled polyester fibers.  It is moisture-wicking, helping you stay cool and dry.  “By reclaiming and recycling the same plastic bottles many athletes drink from while exercising…(they) are helping to heal our planet by conserving energy, reducing landfill waste and cutting CO2 emissions.  Every KALYX sports bra keeps between three and five plastic drink bottles out of a landfill.”  Genius!

There are many different types of sports bras to choose from.  Just find the one that fits your sport (click on the word to take you the sports bra made for that sport):KALYX Vollyball

Are you a bigger chested woman and need more support?  Look at their “DD Diva” sports bra!

They also carry organic tees and lounge wear!

imageKalyx sent me the “Extremist” sports bra.  The first two things that came out of my mouth was, “OOO!  Look at this color!  OOOO!  Feel how soft!”  My husband thought I was a little crazy to make him feel my new sports bra but he was impressed by how soft it was.  The next day I wore it to the gym to put it to the test.  I started by using the elliptical…after 1 hour I was still holding my head up high and was black eye free.  Then I hit a turbo kickbox class.  Now usually I am bouncing around like crazy, but since I want a good workout I just go and stay away from the windows where I could be seen by fellow gym goers.  This time I felt confident enough to stand anywhere because I knew my sports bra wouldn’t let me down.  I love my new Kalyx sports bra.  I fact, I am pretty sure I will NEVER go back to those crappy “swoosh” brand bras that lack support and cause chaffing on a long 8 mile run.

Hollie received the “Centered” sports bra.  Here is what she had to say about it:

When I first checked it out I was amazed at how soft it felt. I have never seen or felt a sports bra like this. It has a nice v neck style but still gives me the support I need. It can also be reversed from snow white to grey, which I love. Two sports bras in one, you can’t beat that!  What a great feature Kalyx. I put this baby on and went to the gym for my aerobics class. It didn’t pull or pinch, it fit very comfortably. In fact I didn’t even notice I was wearing it as it was super comfy. I {heart} my new Kalyx sports bra and I am excited to try out their other styles. Thanks Kalyx for making the PERFECT sports bra for the active girl!Hollie

Not all sports bras are created equal…don’t settle!  “Your breasts deserve the best!”

I couldn’t wait to get the Micro Modal Dancer Cami from be present. It is one of their top selling items and when it came in the mail and I pulled it out of the package, I could totally see why! I am seriously having to restrain myself from hopping online and ordering MM%20Dancer%20Cami[1]one if every.single.color.available! I was ready to put it one and do some yoga! I am not sure why, but I’m always more motivated to work out if I have something cute to wear. I guess it makes me feel good if I feel cute. Whatever works, right?! The cami is so, so soft, fits like a dream, and I love the little center-front gathering, giving it that little extra touch of style! The fabric used is made from beech wood extraction, from farms that practice sustainability, it’s one of the most eco-friendly fabrics available! This cami is high quality and made to withstand wear from working out, going out, & lounging around! The body is seamless and it has a built in shelf bra, which is nice because it gives you a chafe free fit! {nobody likes chafing! ouch!} I love that this top {along with so many other be present yoga wear} can be worn to work out, go to the store, sleep, whatever! Their style is so versatile and pretty much perfect for doing anything!

Believe. Feel. Become.

yogaBefore having my children I was so health conscious. I was at the gym 6 days a week strength training, doing cardio, yoga, & whatever else I could do to burn some calories and keep my girlish figure! This time was what I looked forward to and made sure I carved out for myself during a busy day. Then I got pregnant and had my first child, time became less and time for myself became somewhat non-existent. Then came baby number two and what little time I did have became even less. So you know that tight little tummy I had became a spare tire and all that strength I worked so hard for has become so depleted. Well, it’s a new year and I am determined to get that passion for fitness back again. I want that girl back…the one that felt so good,so strong, and made the time to take care of herself. I feel that Mandy Ingber’s Yogalosophy DVD will be a major component in making this happen!

After my 1st Workout:

Okay, so I just finished my first workout with Mandy! I am feeling so inspired by her! The workout was awesome, I love how she has combined yoga poses with toning exercises! It was definitely a challenge, but she really is a great teacher and I didn’t feel bad if I had to rest or stretch during certain exercises…she didn’t make me feel like it was wrong or I was slacking. One thing she said really has stuck with me: “Try to be easy on yourself. I never got in shape any faster by being hard on myself.” I love this and it is so true. So many times I have beat myself up when trying to get started exercising again because I couldn’t keep up with the class or had to stop more than someone else, and have been left feeling defeated and not wanting to go back. Thank you Mandy for creating such a fabulous workout that is perfect for all fitness levels. I can’t wait to explore the DVD extras more…thinking of doing the Sun Salute Series tomorrow to start my day. I am really feeling positive that this workout along with cardio a few times a week will really help me reach my fitness goals! Yay!

**i woke up today sore in all the right places & it feels so good :) ! **

After my 7th workout:

Wow! I am still loving all of the workouts on Mandy’s DVD! I especially like doing the workout with coach! I love listening to Mandy talk and share some fitness information and her own personal tips. She is just so inspirational and the workout is excellent! I can already feel myself getting stronger and am so excited about that. I have also spent some time exploring the extras on the DVD and they are all wonderful as well! The Yogalosophy DVD is just packed full of so many different workouts and extras, it really is a steal of a deal!

[Stay Fit @ Home] Total Fitness DVD Giveaway {CLOSED}

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution to lose weight?

If so you are not alone…

I am pretty sure that a lot of us did!

I am still trying to shed those last few baby pounds and boy am I having a hard time staying motivated while working out at home. This week we will be featuring some FUN ways for you to STAY FIT @ HOME!

imageTotal Fitness DVDs sent me the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Hard Body Boot Camp and Body Slimming Yoga to help me work out at home. I really enjoy dancing so I knew that I would love these workouts. I really enjoyed these as I LOVE Yoga and this is something imageI can do when my little one is awake or asleep since it is pretty mellow…this DVD comes with two options a 25 min. or 45 min. routine. So super easy to fit in whenever I have time during the day. My little guy usually just gets bored when I do the Yoga and goes off and plays with his toys. But when I pop in the Hard Body Boot Camp I am moving a lot quicker so he tends to get a little more hyper child in him and he tends to hang all over me. This routine is 60 minutes and I love that I can do the moves at beginning, intermediate, or advanced. So this one will be good to use for years and as my skills increase.

These DVD’s have really helped me to get motivated again and to shed those last few pounds!!!

Some other DVD’s I have been eyeing….
