It’s all the rage right now. Angelina Jolie is playing with her kid’s Wii to take off the pounds after the birth of her twins. If you have been wanting a system, but felt embarrassed about buying it for yourself, I thing Jolie just made it possible for the rest of us! Apparently there is a Pilates program that is definitely worth checking out.
I have no idea if this is the program that she is using, but it looks like fun… Hmmm… I wonder if I can do enough hinting so that I find it under the Christmas tree this …read more

I don’t think that I’m alone in this… I HATE TO EXERCISE! It’s a little thing with patience I think. I get bored VERY EASILY. And then with some of the exercise programs that are on DVD, well, I like the variety, but it’s kind of hard keeping your eye on the TV while trying to copy the move! That’s why I like about this program so much. You pretty much pull the ball up in front of the TV and then just copy her. You aren’t moving the way you would with most other exercise programs, but don’t let …read more

I just finished my workout with the balance ball. I have had the ball for some time now, but it wasn’t until I picked up an instructional video, did I know what to do with it. REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT!! As I sit her typing, I’m still puffing. And that was just the first 2o minutes and I would imagine that it is the simplest routine that they feature, but I will get used to this one and then move on. Trust me… I’m not ready for anything more. My legs feel like jelly as it is. But …read more

Today’s the day I get to pick what I want… for no good reason and today, it’s a pool. And what’s nice about this one is that it can be used indoor or out. Not sure how you bring this indoors, but just think of the exercise that you could get year round. That waistline that I have been working on… should be a snap if you can exercise in water whenever you want to.
*For those of you who can’t swim, this pool is only 39 inches deep which should take the worry out of the practicing process.

Pick up this Tee for your significant other and watch him start exercising the arms. It will definitely get him off the couch and a bit of extra exercise can’t hurt anybody! Very subtle way of getting him off the couch!

With all of the SNOW DAYS that we have been “enjoying” lately, the kids can play and get some exercise. And the kids might even share with mom and dad.

I’m pretty sure that this was the size that Britt picked up while we were on Christmas holidays in Florida. She had forgotten to pack them and she uses this size every day.

Hey, I look at this as a little bit of exercise lol… and seeing that it’s hard enough to come up with Christmas gifts for guys, I thought that I would look for something to entertain.

I just finished the PM version of this video. I only have a 2 o’clock slot to work with so I use the time allotted me. I highly recommend it if you really dislike exercising. (That’s definitely me) So for you moms with little kids… the minute they go down for their nap, put it on the video. Not only does it stretch bits of you that haven’t been stretched in years, it’s also relaxing. Might as well take advantage and I was quite surprised to find that I feel quite refreshed after a 20 minute session and I …read more

I never know what to get my husband for Christmas and this just might be a good idea and that way I get to try them out too. I don’t know if there is any reason why women can’t use them… if it makes it easier for guys to do push-ups, then maybe it would make it easier for us too. All I know is that I want to do a little work and I like the fact that more muscles are targeted and there is less stress on the joints. And if it doesn’t work for me… well, …read more
