As I sit to edit this workout video and blog post I'm sore. My pecs, shoulder and core have taken a beating, and this weeks medicine ball workout (and next weeks) are to blame! In my "wisdom", I decided Monday that I should double up on my workouts videos. Why would I do this? So I have an extra done for when I'm away on vacation. Made perfect sense at the time, now I am paying the price. As long I don't cough, sneeze or laugh, I'm ok. Full Disclosure: This weeks workout is sponsored by …

15-Minute Mat Pilates Workout for Beginners
While HIIT is a great way to increase fitness, one question I get asked a lot, in person and in the blog comments, is "what to do if you're a beginner"? High impact or high-intensity workouts are great for fat burning but they aren't really suitable for beginners. Or maybe you're working around an injury, there are workouts you can continue to do in order to y fit. I suggest something less intense, like this 15 minute Mat Pilates Workout! Did you know that Pilates was originally created …

5 Yoga Props to Improve Your Yoga Practice
I've been practicing yoga for a while, since I was thirteen years old really, which means I have now been doing yoga for 30 years!!! Holy crap time flies when you're having fun. In that time I've fallen in and out of love with yoga, you could say we've had an on off relationship. This year however has been the year of yoga. I decided in November last year to become a registered yoga instructor (I had a basic yoga certificate but never did the full 200 hour certification) which meant fully …

Workout With Di #7 – cardio conditioning circuit
It’s Wednesday so time for another workout video! This week I went with circuit training intervals. We have 5 exercises, 45 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest. Last weeks wasn't that high impact, and so this week I am bringing back the impact and intensity. I've made the decision that I'll only be posting one video, this is because I simply don't have time right now to film or edit two videos, sorry! Work got a little crazy which means I'm pooped when I finish. Hoping in a couple of weeks I'll …
