Fit Yummy Mummy

Who comes up with these corny workout program names? :-P
Last night I was watching kettlebell videos on youtube when I eventually came across Fit Yummy Mummy. It's targeted at moms who want to lose their pregnancy weight (i.e. baby fat). It intrigued me a little so I tried it this morning. 60 seconds of high-intensity cardio, 60 seconds of rest (walking in place or side stepping), 60 seconds of high-intensity cardio, 60 seconds of rest...a total of 6 times. The whole workout is only 12 minutes. It's supposed to burn serious fat and calories and continue to burn for several hours after the workout. The moves I did for the cardio segments were:

• Two-arm kettlebell swings
• Jumping jacks
• Feet-together side-to-side jumps
• High-knee jogging
• Deep kettlebell squats
• Fast Lunges

It was....different. VERY cool for days when I don't have much time to work out. I love my new kettlebell workouts, too. But nothing compares to my wonderful walk-aerobics workouts and I continue to be SO thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce people to and LEAD people in these perfectly safe, perfect-for-ALL-fitness levels walking workouts!

Tomorrow begins my new advertising campaign for my Monday/Wednesday morning walking class! Made some really cute posters that I'm gonna put up in various restaurants and stores in McHenry and Crystal Lake. This is the time of year when people make resolutions to lose weight and get in shape. Sadly, only about 9% of those resolutions actually STICK. People, if you work out for two weeks and then stop, it's not gonna get you ANYWHERE. Health and fitness is a LIFESTYLE, not a passing interest. You have to KEEP IT UP!!! That's exactly what I'm here to help people do. So if you're in the area, look for my new posters and gimme a shout - you will NOT regret it!!!

In the meantime, all the details of my Walk Live classes are here: WALK LIVE CLASS!
