Hey my fitness go-getters!

I am on Spring Break and I was unable to do my weekly routine with my colleagues :(. I promised myself that I will not lose any momentum and continue to WORK to reach my goals. I have yet to get on a scale to see how much I currently weigh because my scale takes a special battery and it just recently died. So I’ve been learning about my results through photos and comments from other people. I hear more and more comments about how I’m slimming down in my midsection and also the definition in my legs! I also wore a shirt recently that was way too tight when I purchased it, but now it fits perfectly, and the great thing about this was that one of my friends brought it to my attention! This is just more motivation for me to continue to work.

Besides my weekly sessions with my colleagues, I do intense workouts at home thanks to Discovery Fit and Health Channel, formerly known as FitTv. I can honestly say that the workouts on this channel, specifically with Gilad, are no joke. His plyometric segments are killer! (I’ll talk about plyometrics next week). I like to DVR the workouts so I can go straight through without the long and tedious commercial breaks. This way also allows me to complete two workouts within a 45-minute time span.

My favorite Gilad workouts would have to be the Total Body Sculpt series. Here we work on cardio, strength, and kickboxing and more. Your entire body gets a good workout. Even though I pretty much have the routines down packed they are still a challenge, but I notice my growth each time I workout with the show. I went from struggling to do 5 mountain climbers to now being able to do them at slow to moderate speeds. I say that is progress. You don’t need much to work out at home either. I do have a few free weights that I purchased from Modell’s and I do have resistance bands, but that’s about it. I am thinking about purchasing a stability ball soon though.

Discovery Fit and Health also has tons of strange shows, but I mainly watch for Gilad. Do any of you watch any fitness/exercise shows on television?If so which shows?
