I May Be Crazy… The Return of Flab To Fab and Body Revolution

If you have been a long time reader of Looking Joli Good, you may remember the Flab to Fab series from 2016. While I still think of myself as fab 😉 I have let myself get a little flab over the last few winter months. That is all about to change!

About two years ago, I wrote a post entitled Where is the Body Revolution? At the point that I wrote that post, I had completed 10 of the 12 Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution workouts. My whole body was in pain and constantly so sore that I chose to give up on completing the rest of the system. I have regretted not finishing ever since.

Recently, I found myself lacking the motivation to exercise. I was half-heartedly doing my daily workouts and dreading them. I knew exactly what I needed, a good kick in the pants from my best friend. I love Jillian! Her workouts are by far my favorites! Something about her method is so motivating. I always feel amazing and accomplished after I complete one of her workouts.

A few weeks ago I started Body Revolution over again. I started right at the beginning back at week one of the system. Since I exercise on a regular basis it starts off “easy”, it almost seems to be too simple for a Jillian workout. Do not be fooled by the first few workouts, it gets a lot harder! I am beginning week 6, so I have completed workouts 1-4 as well as cardio 1 and 2. Last week I did workouts 5 and 6 and will repeat them again this week. (So far workout 6 has been my favorite.)

I am sore in places I forgot existed.

The last time I did this workout program, I wrote detailed reviews with all the information that I was looking for when I was researching this workout program. If you would like to read those reviews you can click HERE. In the next few weeks, as I complete the workouts, I will be writing reviews of workouts 7-12 and cardio 3.

Yes, I may be crazy, but I am so motivated again. Forget the flab, I’ll be fab again in no time! As for right now, I need to go stretch out my sore muscles. 😉

No Gym? No Problem! #21 Strength Training Guide for Women

Cardio is cool, but I love to workout with weights! Building muscle increases your metabolic rate which burns more calories while you are at rest.

I like to use  10 lb weights, but 3 lbs, 5 lb, or 8 lbs weights are great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight you are lifting.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger, try to do the circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

No Gym? No Problem! #13 Leslie Sansone’s 1 Mile Happy Walk at Home

About 10 years ago, I had just had my first baby and I was a happy couch potato.  I ate whatever I wanted and never ever even thought about exercise!  One day, I was out shopping, pushing my baby in the stroller, when I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the store’s window.  I was literally appalled by what I saw! 😱

Having never consistently exercised in my life, I didn’t know what to do or where to start; I just knew that I needed to start something! The next day I began my health and fitness journey with a one-mile walk at home exercise DVD by Leslie Sansone.

I slowly but surely got stronger and grew to love exercising!  It all started with a one-mile Leslie Sansone workout.  The rest is history!

Leslie Sansone will always have a special place in my heart!
