Best Workouts zone

When you start this journey you are going to be bombarded with tons of information about which workout is better for your body, which gives you abs, and which is best for fat loss. In reality the best exercise you can do is one you truly enjoy, and causes your heart rate to go up. Do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed. Experts will never agree which is right but the tried and truest weight loss is achieved using cardio. Cardio burns calories while burning fat.

For the best FAT burn you should work at 70-90% of your maximum heart rate, but to be within the Fitness Zone or Fat Burn Zone you only need to be at about 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.

The difference here is anything above 60% is burning calories and some fat but burning above 70% guarantees maximum calorie and fat burn. And maximum fat burn is what you want. However if exercise is new to you, do not push for the max. Start slow and build endurance or you risk getting injured or burning out.

Another great method for burning fat is with High Intensity Interval Training, out HIIT. This is a few second of max heart rate followed by a couple of minutes in the Fitness Zone. HIIT is also a great way to help build endurance.

Now while cardio does help lose weight and burn fat it does nothing for getting that 'toned' look. To lose weight while toning you really need to incorporate weight training. And ladies there is no reason to fear weights, you will not bulk up unless you are trying to. By using low weights high reps you tone the muscle and surrounding skin without building the muscle up. You also burn more calories the more muscular you are because muscle burns more calories than fat.

If you gave already built some endurance you should look into circuit training. This is a serious of workouts that include HIIT as well as weights, all in one session. This alloyed for max burn while toning. Great way to tighten up. I highly recommend Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It has three levels, one being the easiest. I have made it through the first two levels, about to begin three. It is hard, you will sweat, but it is rewarding in the end. She also shows modifications for the more intense moved if you have injuries, out if you just aren't there yet. You can find it cheap online and at most department stores.

And again I reiterate how important it is to hat a great rate monitor that calculates calories burned.

Now go out there, find what you love, and get moving!

Chobani, Bondi Bands, Allergies ...Oh My!

So recently I have had the amazing privilege and joy of trying out a couple of awesome products. I cannot wait to share either! GIVEAWAY TIME! I received a case of Chobani Flips to review...and as we all know yogurt is a staple in most healthy diets...especially mine. I have been a Chobani nut for over a year now. It is one of my favorite and most filling snacks, not to mention the protein ! It is a quick and easy breakfast if needed, or an awesome post-workout snack. And now that it is summertime it is super refreshing on a hot summer day! There were so many yummy types to try...and I could not wait to dig in! There were two of each, so 12 in total! They are fair in calories, low in sugar, and taste great. The day I got the case I did a little jig, and then hunted down a spoon. The first flip I sampled was the Almond Coco Loco ... IT WAS DIVINE!!!...and my favorite! Se...

Polka Dot Grins

I have a little white polka dot keepsake box. I found it at Beall's Outlet , and it only cost $3.99. It was a great bargain, and it is absolutely adorable. Yet, it is a confusing little polka dot box. Full of some of the most cherished, loved, prized memories...and full of some of the most indescribably painful, horrible, unforgettable pain. It's a cute white box with gold polka dots on the outside, and a light pink interior. It has a gold bow on the front. It makes a beautiful dust collector that now resides on top of my dresser, taking precedence over makeup and hair accessories. It sat there empty for a few days before I decided to use it for the purpose in which I bought it; to store some of my most precious keepsakes. Inside are the few items that I get to hold in place of my nephew. The few physical possessions that remind me that he really did exist. That he was more than just a victim. That he was a little pain in the rear while incubating. That he spent the first n...

One Year Later- No Less Heartache

Every time I have started working on the one year anniversary blog about John's death I back space it away. I just can't put into words what it is I would like to say. So I've decided to just let it all flow freely, and whatever comes out this time, stays...please forgive my rambling... I miss him. So much. You know the saying "you miss them so much it hurts". It's true. I miss him so much it hurts. It has hurt since September 5th 2016. It hurts just as much now as it did then. I know people say time heals, and it will get easier, but it doesn't. I move along in my life, yes, but I find myself stuck in a cold PICU room often. I can literally walk myself down the hall at Monroe Regional in my mind. My dad standing there in the corner of the hospital all alone. My mom puffy eyed from crying, coming out of the double doors. John being pushed through on a gurney to his helicopter flight. So many wires. So many devices being used to keep his frail and broke...
