New Look - Body and Blog

Not only has my body changed but so has this site. I will continuously update and improve this site, as I advance in my fitness journey. I want to give you the best website I can. In exchange, I need you to give me your best effort at working out.

My heart is so happy with the commitment I have given. Waking up and working out is the best thing that I can do for this 34 year old heart. Transforming your body is so important to a healthy lifestyle but most importantly to your mind. Working out is mental, mental, mental. I know even if I am not at the fitness level I want to be right now, I gave it my all today, and there is no condemnation in that.

I always felt guilty for doing other things with my time or felt "lazy" knowing I hadn't put in the effort to make a change in my body. Once you start seeing changes, it will motivate you to do more. Trust me and just start today. I want to push myself and you harder than ever knowing my body is changing and so can yours.

I am going to start a series on exercise moves you can do easily at home with a few weights. I will be showing you proper form and position which will also help to stop injuries. If you do a form incorrectly you will not only be at risk to hurt yourself, but may not be getting the benefit of the exercise.

Here's an easy one to start. Well, the concept is easy, the exercise is not. Walking squats with a counting method. This is how you start: Stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Squat down as far as you can go, as if your sitting down into a chair. Make sure when you look down, your knees are not over your feet and you can still see your toes. Stand up counting that squat as one. Take four steps forward (this is your resting period) turn around and squat twice. Take four more steps, turn around and squat three times. Remember to always start counting at one. Go to 10 rounds of squats. Remember this is one, plus two, plus three. You will end up with 55 squats. This builds leg and glute muscles very fast. It's a great way to work at fitting into those new jeans. Go to 20 if you want more of a challenge. Do what you can and work your way up. If you don't have the time to go to 20, grab some weights and add arms. Do arms curls as you squat down. The more muscles you are moving at one time, the faster you will burn that fat off.

Keep your comments coming. I love to hear from you all. Be blessed and live healthy. Remember if it didn't come from God or doesn't have a mother, don't eat it.
