Hope everyone had an awesome New Years! I can't believe it's another year, WOW! The great part is that 2010 is hear and it's time to shine.

Let's not make resolutions this year let's work on getting healthy! Everyone is talking about the economy and how bad it is right now. I agree it's not the best time for the economy, and guess what we have no control over it. The one thing you can control in these crazy times is your health! So let's together work on changing our health for the better. It's hard to do it on our own, but united as a group or team we can change our health and our lifestyle into a healthier better US!

Who's with me?

I'm sitting at my favorite coffee shop enjoying a cup of coffee when I read the following on the window "I wish grownups could remember being KIDS". This made me reminisce about being a kid, running around all over town playing and enjoying all my neighborhood had to offer. We use to climb on everything for hours on end.

This got me thinking about workouts and training of course. When we were kids yes we were healthier but not just because we were younger. We didn't have the stresses and responsibilities that we do as grown-ups. This is why working out is so important. It's our "KID TIME"! It's our time to forget about all our worries and devote some time to just ourselves. We all need this. Our Bodies and our Minds need this. Don't you feel better after a workout? Of course you do!

So here's what I'm challenging all of you to do! Don't make the typical New Years Resolutions (blah....blah ...) that we always make. I'm going to get in shape this year, or I'm going to lose X amount of pounds this year.

Change your mindset and say I will be a "KID" at least 3hours a week. Take 3 hours a week and workout out. Whether it's a 1 hour workout 3x a week or 20 minutes a day. Get moving workout but look at it from the angle that it's your time to get in touch with yourself by expending some energy.

2010 is the year for us to enjoy life to the fullest by being responsible enough to devout more time to ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are your thoughts?

Awesome Workout Today! You guys are doing so good. Bootcamp done at 6:30am. Talk about commitment! You get up early and brave the cold weather to come get your workout on! Great Job Keep it up. I'm very proud of you guys!!!

Which workout is better?  Is a bodybuilding split routine better than doing circuits?  How do I pick and plan my workout?

Please note that these are merely my opinions:

If you are striving to be a bodybuilder than yes a bodybuilding split routine works best.

If you are an athlete than you want an all around workout that will help your particular sport.

Moms, Dads and your weekend warrior or someone just trying to stay fit, here's the beauty.  All of the above still need core training.  I know the word is overused by everyone but hey everyone pretty much understands what it is right?  Ok we all need core training.  If it's the very least we do at least work on your core.

I don't believe that any particular workout discipline is the best.  I think a workout built or geared for what it is you do is the best for your own individual needs, make sense?  OK

For the majority of people that want to stay fit, get fit and so forth a combination of all is a great way to learn and round out your fitness regiment.  Use bands for 1 or 2 weeks than switch back to weights for 1 or 2 weeks.  This is keeping your muscles guessing so that they can't adjust.  It's a great way to continue to shock your body, in a good way.

Remember the number 1 rule!  Listen to your body. In case you feel pain or discomfort,(I don't mean your muscles just being sore) stop that exercise and ask for a modified exercise that works the same muscle group without hurting yourself.

Hope everyone enjoyed their workout today.  Great job!!!

Happy Birthday Dani!

Susan 18lbs gone awesome job!!!  Keep it up!

Enjoy your weekend.
