For Beginners ONLY workout

Cindy and I have had several requests for a REAL beginner workout. A workout that is for someone who is just stepping into their fitness journey. Everyone has that period in their story where they are new and feel scared and intimidated. We remember how it felt to walk into that fitness class where everyone was dressed to perfection and looked like they knew what they were doing….it’s AWFUL!!! It’s like being that kid in the cafeteria wandering around with their tray just looking for someone to make eye contact with to offer a kind glance and a place to sit. Ugh! Some things never change!!! If this is ringing true for you, then you’ve found a place to sit in the cafeteria! This is a beginner workout that is geared to just get your body moving for 10 minutes. That’s it. Don’t be afraid, don’t be intimidated, I’ll be with you from minute one to minute ten. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Say Hello to Your At Home Gym for under $100

As a mom, wife, trainer, taxi driver, cook, creative, cleaning lady and schedule coordinator (to name a few:) my schedule is rather hectic! As a result, it is soooo much easier for me to workout at home. While I do enjoy heading to the gym to try new equipment and workout with friends, the ease of walking down to the basement and getting in a killer workout can’t be beat! When I reference walking down to my basement to workout, please don’t be deceived. It is the basement in a hundred year old house with low ceilings, a washer and dryer, area for kids to watch tv and….an area for me to keep my at home gym equipment. By no means do I have a large, designated space to use only as a gym. I’ve carved out a small area in a multi-functioning basement that I call my gym. And truth be told…I LOVE IT! Nothing beats having the ability to get your workout in at 5am or waiting until after you drop your daughter off for basketball practive that night. I have been collecting equipment for my at home gym for quite some time now, but I have put together some favorites that can get you started with your own at home gym for under $100. Yes!!! UNDER $100!!! Whether your space is outside, in your bedroom, your family room or any corner you can clear out, you DO have room to create your own at home gym. The following pieces of equipment will get you well on your way to creating a healthy life, happy life. So, say HELLO to your own at home gym!
