Transformation

Fresh off from a working out to a new fitness DVD, I bring you an encouraging quote for the day:

"Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity!"
– Jillian Michaels

Let that be something to work towards!

“Muffin Tops are for Muffins Only”

Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you're all off to a fresh and cheery start in this year two thousand and twelve.  If you enjoyed the Christmas festivities as much as I did, that means a lot of time spent in the kitchen (baking treats, of course...) and indulging in the delights of the season, which also means that I'm still making time for exercise.  Amidst the hustle and bustle of December, it feels especially good to keep to that schedule... It's a wonderful boost for both your mental and physical health!

A few days ago, I was making these scrumptious muffins, and today, I found a fantastic lower body workout that is guaranteed to wage war on any "muffin top" bits.  PERFECT timing!  I can't say enough about this fab little video; its exercises definitely do the trick.  Love, love, love the burn!
