THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET, YOU CHOOSE!

Main Purpose of this blog!

This blog is for you! Our family and friends who need a little extra motivation when it comes to eating healthy and exercising. Most of you have seen the popular TV series The Biggest Loser and have noted the life changing events that have occured. We are going to do our own version of the biggest loser only we are calling it The Healthy Habits Challenge. If you are interested we are asking that you send 20 dollars to my cute mom Linda Brindley Chipman asap. The challenge will begin on Monday, January 10th, 2011 and goes for 8 weeks which means it will end Sunday, March 6th. The more who participate, the more money their will be in the pot. At 20 dollars each, it is going to add up fast, but all money aside we really want to use this blog as a place where we can post our progress and encourage each other with ideas of what we are doing to keep fit and healthy. Please refer to the "log in" information (on side bar) so you can post your ideas. Remember to read the rules carefully (on the side bar) as well as the Healthy Habits Contract (first post). Good Luck Everyone!

Good workouts!

Just thought I would share a few of my favorite workouts.  It is really hard to find time for some people to work out, especially when you don't have anyone to watch your kids or you cannot afford a gym.  I love all of the Jillian Michaels workouts that I have done.  P90X has nothing on that woman.  I see results quick with her.  Maybe because she mostly targets my trouble area (core).  Her 30-day shred is AWESOME! Her 6-week abs is a fun easy workout and her Boost Metabolism video is quite the workout and cardio for 45 minutes straight if you want to burn some calories!!  Also, just a little secret....if you have Netflix, there are all kinds of videos on there.  I like the 10-minute kickboxing ones.  That way I can fit a few in throughout the day, or just do them for a total workout. 

Also, I left a comment in one of the other posts about FREE Zumba.  Yes, free!!! It is at the Enoch Stake Center Monday and Friday at 9:00 a.m. and Wed. at 10:00 a.m.  It is so much fun.  Your kids are welcome.  They just play close by you where your doing your workout.  Seriously fun instructor and seriously fun people!!! It is an hour long and I am wanting more when it is over. 

What are your favorite workouts??

  2. I get bored easily with workouts so I like to switch it up each week. I love Jililan's 30 day shred! That is one of the very best workouts I've ever done. I also love to run and Hip Hop Abs is a great workout too!
