What is Hip Hop Abs®?
It is a 30-day, dance-based in-home fitness program designed to help you burn fat and sculpt your abs without doing crunches or sit-ups.
It’s good for beginners as well as experienced exercisers.
Fitness trainer and professional dancer Shaun T teaches his easy-to-follow moves step by step, so you can do it even if you think you can’t dance.
If you’re new to working out, you won’t need to buy any extra equipment. All you need is a DVD player and room to move.
Why is it effective?
Hip Hop Abs® uses cardio to burn calories, with special focus on toning your abs.
Shaun’s “Tilt, Tuck & Tighten” technique helps you work your abs the whole time you’re dancing, so every move has the impact of a crunch or sit-up without getting on the floor.
Shaun shows you how to activate your upper abs, lower abs, and obliques all at the same time you’re burning fat. And the program has multiple workouts, so you’ll never get bored.
Since exercise and healthy eating go hand in hand, Shaun’s Step-by-Step Nutrition Guide helps you choose the right foods to support your weight loss goals.
If you have to eat on the go, Shaun helps you make the best choices with his Results on the Run diet guide.

Want to know more about Brazil Butt Lift®? Here ya go!
The below info is from the Beachbody® Coach training manuals and website.
The only booty-transformation system that targets your butt from every angle to help lift, shape, and firm your booty into bikini-ready shape in 60 days.
A comprehensive workout program that also helps you tone your body from the bottom up, and all over.
How does Brazil Butt Lift® work?
It's all about the angles. When you work the butt muscles from multiple angles, you're not only working those specific muscles - you're also working the 'heads' of the muscles, the parts that attach to the pelvic bone (which provide support between the upper and lower parts of your body) and your hamstrings. This is what gives you the lift and shape that every woman wants.
Supermodels go to Leandro because his TriAngle Training method and signature moves help to reduce the hips, slim the thighs, and lift the butt - without bulking up the thighs.
That's why Leandro is known as the Brazilian Butt Master. TriAngle Training works the three major muscles of the buttocks: the gluteus maximum, medius, and minimus - working them from countless angles to help lift, firm, and shape the perfect behind, without adding bulk to the thighs.
Who can benefit from Brazil Butt Lift®?
• People who want to tighten and tone their butts, plus burn fat and slim down all over
• Women who want to look great in a bikini
Your tips for success...
• Follow the calendar for best results. If you’re short on time and can’t fit in the scheduled workout, try Bum Bum Rapido, Leandro’s 10-minute version of his signature Bum Bum workout.
• Check out the Maximum Results System. It includes all the tools you need to get a lifted, round booty even faster.
• To jump-start your results, begin your 60-day transformation with the 6-Day Supermodel Slimdown. Lose up to 6 pounds and 6 inches in 6 days!
• Watch the "Basics" workout to learn how to do the moves with proper form. As Leandro says, "The more definition in your moves, the more definition in your body."

Supplements and Shakeology
With the new year upon us and LOTS of resolutions, I have recently received LOTS of questions about Shakeology and supplements...everyone wants to be healthy and fit in 2013! So, I have included some of the questions and answers below (from the Beachbody website). Happy reading!
Should I continue to take ActiVit® or other multivitamins along with Shakeology®?
Because of the way Shakeology is formulated, one shake pretty much covers your body's normal daily requirement for vitamins and minerals. However, if you're following a recommended exercise routine, it's likely that your body is using up those nutrients at a faster rate. For example, if you're doing P90X® or ChaLEAN Extreme®—hard-charging routines that burn more calories along with vitamins and minerals—you may need some additional supplementation, like ActiVit. Due to the digestive enzymes in Shakeology, taking ActiVit at the same time you drink Shakeology will help your body better absorb all the nutrients.
Can I take Shakeology and P90X® Peak Health Formula Vitamins?
If you're using P90X Peak Health Formula vitamins, it's recommended that you take only 1 serving or scoop of Shakeology per day. If you're taking any other supplements in addition to Shakeology and P90X Peak Health Formula vitamins, watch your total intake to ensure that you don't exceed Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for copper is 10 mg/day, for magnesium 350 mg/day, for manganese 11 mg/day, and for zinc 40 mg/day.
I already have some Meal Replacement Shake. Should I throw it out and switch to Shakeology?
You don't have to throw it out. Meal Replacement is a high-quality protein shake. Shakeology offers a wide array of nutrients on top of protein. Because Meal Replacement has higher sugar content and less fiber, a good time to use it is around the time you're exercising (Results and Recovery is also good for this purpose). Shakeology is a better option for a meal that's at least 2 hours before a workout or 1 hour afterwards.
Can I take this and P90X Results and Recovery Formula™?
Yes, but not together! Results and Recovery Formula should only be taken during or after exercise, when you've been exhausting your body's blood sugar. At any other time, Shakeology would be your preferred option.
Should I still take an omega supplement?
While the flaxseed and chia seeds in Shakeology provide some omega-3 fatty acids, it is still recommended that you take the Core Omega-3™ supplement to meet your daily requirement.
How about Core Cal-Mag™?
The recommended daily allowance of calcium is 1,200 mg/day for women and 1,500 mg/day for post-menopausal women. Shakeology provides 500 mg of calcium, so it is recommended to supplement with Core Cal-Mag to meet the daily recommended allowance. Due to the digestive enzymes in Shakeology, taking Core Cal-Mag at the same time you drink Shakeology will help your body to better absorb the nutrients.
Should I continue to take ActiVit® or other multivitamins along with Shakeology®?
Because of the way Shakeology is formulated, one shake pretty much covers your body's normal daily requirement for vitamins and minerals. However, if you're following a recommended exercise routine, it's likely that your body is using up those nutrients at a faster rate.

Little Runner Girl
I don't know if you can see it or not, but it says 13.1 below the little runner girl. I hope to someday be able to run a half marathon. It may be asking a lot though...I'm a TERRIBLE runner! That said, it's good to set goals. I should somehow incorporate this into my goals for 2013. I don't really make resolutions - I make goals and then I figure out how I am going to achieve them all! It works too, if you really set your mind to it!

No limits!
This is me & my cat working out...well, I'm working out.
Just when you think you can't do more with your workout, you realize that you CAN do chair dips with extra weight on your lap. If you would have tried to put a 20 pound weight on my lap (hey, that cat of mine weighs 17 pounds!!), I would have told you 'no way'. It's amazing what you can achieve when you don't put limitations on yourself!! :)

Easing back into it
My back is much better after the weekend and after seeing my chiropractor on Monday (yay!!). So, Monday night, I decided I was going to workout again. I wanted to do cardio, since I was scheduled to do "Kenpo X" - but I knew that would be too intense for "easing back into things".
Thankfully, I recently ordered the Turbo Fire Starter Pack and I decided that "Firestarter" was the one to try. This is the 'beginner' dvd for the Turbo Fire workouts and I hadn't done it yet, so I didn't know what to expect. I kept my kicks low, because of the back problem, but let me tell you...I scorched some calories! It may be beginner, but if you give it your all, you will get A WORKOUT! The choreography is a lot less intense than the regular Turbo Fire series, which is good for someone not used to the Turbo World (Turbo Kick, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire), but the workout itself isn't less intense!! There's no playing around here!! I feel so accomplished and it was so much fun!! :)

Insanity: The Asylum, Volume 2
Oh yeah, here we go again!! Insanity: The Asylum, Volume 2...coming soon...!!!
Hey look, there's Apolo Ohno!!
Hey look, there's Apolo Ohno!!
Back PAIN
UGH! So, I finally got my husband to join me in doing P90X and we are currently in week 5. Well, he's in week 5. I sprained my back last weekend - not even working out - just hanging up something - seriously!!! The pain is HORRIBLE and I've been resting, visiting my chiropractor, taking aleve/ibuprofen, and using Biofreeze (thank goodness for Biofreeze!). It's improving, but it still hurts. I was doing so well too. I guess this my body's way of telling me to slow down. I know I do too much and that I'm not 18 anymore, but I like to push!
I'm honestly jealous that he gets to workout and I don't. I never thought that I would get to this point --- ever. So, I guess it is true, working out can become an addiction! I thought they were lying to me about that (whoever 'they' are).

Chili Peppers!!!
In honor of the Red Hot Chili Peppers recently getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I thought I'd post an article that I found very interesting about chili peppers. :)
Chili Peppers: A Hot Ticket for a Healthy Diet
By Kim Kash
If you're one of those obnoxious, macho types who makes a big show of snacking on hot peppers for the shock value—keep it up! It looks like chili pepper hotheads may be less susceptible to inflammation, diabetes, prostate cancer, and heart disease. Plus, all that spicy hotness chases away congestion, and it even (ironically) helps to prevent stomach ulcers.
Native to Central and South America, chili peppers were introduced to Asia in the 1500s and have been a cornerstone of cuisines in both those parts of the world ever since. In the West, the heat of chili peppers is measured using the Scoville Organoleptic Test, named after Wilbur Scoville, the chemist who devised it in the early 1900s. It sounds very fancy and technical but, in fact, the Scoville method is a subjective process involving subjects who sip diluted solutions of ground chilis and sugar water. In other words, the Scoville Method isn't much more scientific than the Pepsi Challenge®. There are now more scientific ways of measuring chili heat, but the Scoville method is still the one mostly used by the food industry.
Asian countries don't use the Scoville method; instead, they rely on the general rule of thumb that the smaller a chili is, the hotter it is. Again, not so much with the science, but it makes sense when you consider this: the hottest part of a chili pepper actually is not the seeds, but the white membrane where the seed attaches inside the pepper. Larger peppers have proportionately less of this membrane than smaller ones, so they are generally milder. We probably all think the seeds pack the punch in hot peppers because they sit in such close proximity to the membrane and absorb its heat, and then they often remain whole in pepper sauces and condiments.
The fiery goodness of chili peppers comes from capsaicin, which has been found to inhibit substance P, associated with the inflammatory process. The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Researchers are looking at capsaicin as a treatment for arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic neuropathy. It seems counterintuitive that chili peppers would inhibit the inflammatory process, since handling them in the kitchen can irritate your fingers, and too many of them in the salsa can make your head feel like it's on fire, but there you have it.
Some veteran travelers to countries where the freshness of food can be questionable make it a point to eat food as spicy as they possibly can—that spice invariably coming from fresh or dried chilis—in order to ward off illness and boost immunity. Chili peppers have lots of beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin C, and they kill bacteria you may have ingested.
The capsaicin in chili peppers is also a thermogenic: it causes heat production and heat production burns calories. Even sweet red peppers increase the body's heat production for several minutes after they are consumed. Certainly there are more efficient ways to lose weight than stuffing your face with hot chili peppers! But isn't it nice to know that adding more salsa might help you burn that burrito off slightly faster?
