Strong Back

This has been a crazy week for me...I wanted to show you some of my back exercises but I could never work out a time to have my super cute camera guy, aka hubby,  to help me.  So you get something a little better.  I'm going to share with you my biggest success secret, Her name is Flavia Delmonte.  She is awesome! I have achieve 90% of my success so far from her work outs.  There now you know!  She has inspired me to think "outside of the box" in fitness.  I have learned so much from her.  You can learn more about Flavia RIGHT HERE.  So on to her back exercises.  I have done this and LOVE it! Give it a try and let me know what you think.  NOTE: you can substitute the barbell for dumbbells at home.

GOOD LUCK!

Inspired by my personal push up challenge (if you don't know what I'm talking about visit the "my push up challenge" page above) I wanted to show you a few chest exercises with some arm work outs that will help you increase your push ups as well.  I will have that for you ASAP!
Honestly, I will only be posting once a week until I can get my CPT certification done.  I'm focusing my energy there.  However, I do post fun little pick me ups on my Facebook page.  Please show some love and stay connected by "like" ing my page VISIT HERE

A little personal update: I'm excited to share that I will be doing my first photo shoot in MARCH!  I have 12 weeks to get photo ready.  I have some help from a couple trainers that I LOVE!  I get some very helpful info from them.  I wanted to share this experience here with you as well!  I'm excited! The Purify detox/cleanse system was an awesome way to jump start this journey.  I lost 2 lbs and nearly 1% of body fat for my first week.  This is from an already lean state.  By using that system my body is now completely ready to function at 100%.  This will be FUN! 

My new favorite snack:  I love ice cream! especially when I'm watching a movie.  Now obviously I won't be eating ice cream for a while so I came up with this sweet treat. 

Berry Frozen Yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup berries
1 tbsp Stevia
Mix well and place in freezer until semi frozen
Delightful!
I usually share this portion with my hubby:)

  2. i don't know what happened to my post? love the video and planning on trying it tommorrow along with negative push ups! ok i have two treats to share.

    mango- strawberry sorbet...
    1 mango+ 16 oz frozen strawberries + honey or stevia to taste. blend. i like the honey better because it makes it creamier.
    and the second is...
    chocolate milkshake-
    i cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk+ one frozen banana+ 1-2 T chocolate powder + unsweetened coconute flakes + ice if you need it. mmmmm delish!

    so i guess that means i won't be seeing you at cantina anymore?!

  3. It's good that you found help from a workout video like this. =) Don't forget to do stretches before and after an intense workout. This prepares your body to adapt to the movements you'd be doing. And it would be better to use support for your back. Keep safe when using those heavy dumb bells, okay?
