Quite often I get asked questions from clients or class members that make good blog topics. I've started writing these suckers down and plan to be making a whole bunch of blog posts on each question. One question I was asked recently was: "Have you ever done a home workout video yourself?" Heck Yes, I've done home workout videos, but first let's weigh up the pros and cons of doing home workout videos. Pros and Cons of Home Workout Videos Fitness is already a 10 billion dollar a year …

Total Body Agility Ladder Workout
I'm all about getting BANG for your buck and this week I wanted to show you a total body workout using the agility ladder with my workout and video that I cleverly titled: Total Body Agility Ladder Workout. I know... I'm a literary genius. Anyway, for some reason when people think of agility ladder they hit a wall and think it's only good for upper body cardio training, not so friends, not so. So this week's workout includes cardio, strength, upper body, lower body and core! The full video is …
Cross training workout
Workout Wednesday!!!! Just popping in to say "get busy". I did this cross training workout yesterday and it kicked my ass. I was sore today, which made BodyPump a challenge this morning. This is a total body workout routine that has cardio, strength, bodyweight, resistance training. I'm trying to do more AMRAP style workouts as I like the competition with myself of trying to beat my previous times for a workout. Plus it makes me count reps, which I suck at while doing the movements! This workout …

Workout Wednesday – WoWDi AMRAP #1
Today we are switching things up with a workout. We’re doing 4 exercises, 20 reps of each (right AND left where appropriate) and doing as many rounds of work as possible in the time given. That's what AMRAP means, it's an acronym: As Many Rounds As Possible. As 20 minute workouts are my goal I stuck with the AMRAP for 20 minutes :) As always add on a few minutes for a warm up/cooldown! Feel free to tweak the reps (I did part way through for the push plank pull through!). If 10 reps is more your …
