Workout with Live with Kelly!

This week in Live with Kelly, she is doing New Year's Fitness Week and introducing some great fitness programs!  On Monday she did some Turbo Kick with Chalene Johnson.  TK is my soulmate workout!  It is the class I teach where I scorch a bazillion calories and help other people do the same.  Check out Kelly and Chalene.



A very similar workout is TurboFire which you can do in the comfort of your own home!


 On Tuesday, Kelly worked out with Tony Horton and did some moves from P90X and P90X2... she asked if the ultimate goal was death!  but then did the moves very well... maybe she will be the next celebrity P90Xer!!!  Check out Kelly and Tony.

Now how about some Shakeology to go with that Kelly?

More of Chalene's tips

Get new gear? Remember back to school clothes increased the excitement of a new school year? Maybe new shoes will help you at the gym :) Make it exciting to get going.



Know your numbers...there is no magic to weight loss! Create a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound! NO guessing, write it down!!!

Chalene's guaranteed weightloss tips

If you want to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle you need to find something you enjoy---your "soulmate workout program". Sure it is good to mix it up and add other exercise in, but always having something that you look forward to do makes it that much easier. Biking, running, Group exercise classes at the gym, TurboJam, Brazil Butt Lift, TurboKick, mountain climbing, jumping jacks....there are so many things...try something new until you find your "soulmate" exercise!




Accountability-the more layers you have the more likely you are to succeed. You might let yourself down, but will you let someone else down? I jump started my fitness 3 years ago with a weight loss contest amongst friends...guess who won ;)

Losing weight is about math!

Bob from the Biggest Loser recommends the Calorie King book for knowing what the calories are for all foods going into your body...a calorie bible!  Calories in = Energy out.

Chalene Johnson weighs in on the Calorie King Counting book too:



and on Food Journaling:

Insanity is Insane!

Sometimes, but not very often, you see people have to collapse onto the floor after they have given their all in a workout, or a particular set of their workout!!!!!  That is Insanity, every day!  I am LOVING the lingering ache in my abs, without a crunch involved, that I feel for the rest of the day!  I am refueling with P90X results and recovery formula.I take it right after my workout and I really haven't had and sore body parts...the need for further stretching is apparent, but I am doing quite well.  I am Exhausted this afternoon though!  An early bedtime is in store, that's for sure!
It could have something to do with Wednesday including Cardio recovery from Insanity, teaching Turbo Kick AND the Bakersfield Loser class at the gym!  It was all fun though!  I am loving my Wednesday evenings with a regular group of women coming out! and the "Loser" class is awesome.  I am pushing them harder each week and they are taking it like a group of pros!  I LOVE their determination!
I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to the next butt kicking program that is due out in the next few months, Turbo Fire!  It is Chalene Johnson's version of Insanity but based on the Turbo Jam/Kick idea!  How can there be anything wrong with that!  I will let you know when they have any details come out on that!!!
Time to feed the family, rest my body and hit the hay early.  A fun weekend ahead with the husband and the kids!  I can't wait!
