One of the main reasons people give that they can’t workout is no time! Well this quick cardio needs no equipment, doesn’t require a lot of room, and it only takes 10 minutes!! You definitely have 10 minutes to spare! This one is quick easy and a lot of fun!

Today has not been a good nutrition day for me. To be honest, recently I have not been eating as healthy as I should be. I let the holiday candies get me very time! Easter candy is especially a major weakness for me! I have also let afternoon snacking sneak back in, and that has always been a major downfall for me!

While I am no longer actively trying to lose weight, I still need to eat the right way not only in order to keep all the weight off, but also, more importantly, in order to be healthy! Since I have been on maintenance I have not gained any weight, but I easily could if I continue to eat poorly and allow myself to snack.

I have not been as strict about keeping a food journal. I have to admit, journaling really keeps me accountable for what I eat which keeps me on track! So, I have decided that I am going to have to have to start food journaling again. It is tedious and time consuming, but it is so effective!

You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength and cardio! Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to focus for a few days on flexibility and stretching. This is a quick 10 minute flexibility workout by (my favorite) Jessica Smith!

You may remember me complaining about my chubby knees in my post about Jeans and Genes (If you would like to read more about it you can check it out by clicking HERE.) Well, this workout isn’t necessarily for chubby knees but it’ll still give you a quick 5 minute leg workout that’ll have you going from flab to fab in no time!

I love to workout with weights! One thing I have learned from all my working out with Jillian (remember we are best friends, she just doesn’t know it) is that compound movements are much more effective than just isolating one muscle group. This series of dumbbell exercises will give you several effective compound movements. I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well! You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger,try to do the a circuit three or four 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!

Remember to keep good proper form and warm up and stretch before and after your workout!

Slow Progress is Better Than NO Progress

March 24, 2016March 22, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood6 Comments

Sometimes we hear about someone who is losing a bunch of weight really fast on a fad diet, it may seem like it isn’t fair. While you are doing things the right way and seeing little losses and slow progress, it can get discouraging. Don’t give up! Often with good healthy lifestyle changes the progress seems to be slow going. But anything worth doing is worth doing right! While some of these diets seem to give high weight lose quickly, often it is in an unhealthy way! If you want to have a long healthy life, you have to make permanent changes, not just quick fad diet changes. Your overall heath is much more important than being “skinny”!

Slow progress is better than NO progress. Fad diets and quick fixes are not permanent! Only good healthy lifestyle changes will last! You and your health are worth the time and effort!

Do you remember Jessica Smith (and Peanut) from a few weeks ago? This is one of my all time absolute favorite exercises routines from her. If you want a great ab workout without having to do a million crunches, this is just the workout for you! It takes less than 30 minutes! No excuses, just do it!

How does the Jessica Smith TV website describe this workout routine?

“What It Is: This cardio kickboxing abs routine is the best way to mix up your abs routine and give unwanted belly fat a one-two punch (don’t forget to pair it with a healthy diet for best results)!

Why You Need It: Let’s face it, crunches aren’t the most effective and those plank challenges are super boring (and they can really cause poor form). This multi-tasking routine saves you time and maximizes your calorie burn by combining your cardio and core work into a single workout (plus, it’s kind of fun too!).”

Don’t forget to keep good form and warm up and stretch before and after your workout!

If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know that I love Jillian Michaels! I’m pretty sure we are best friends, she just doesn’t know about it. 😉

Do you think you are ready to tackle one of her work outs? I have faith in you, you can do it! This is Level 1 of her 30 Day Shred. (There are 3 levels total, each a bit harder than the previous level.) Even though this is one of her older workouts, it is still a really good one and I love it! Ready? No excuses, just do it!

Don’t forget to keep good form and do the warm up before and stretch out with Jillian after the exercises, you’ll need it!
