HOWDAY~ !

First off~Thanks for all the congrats and kind words about my bodyspace member of the month interview…It has been so nice to feel the LOVE :)

It looks like summer is on full boar and ya’ll are really enjoying it, cuz’ it’s dead in cyberspace, lol! It was a lazy summer weekend around here too and we enjoyed all of it.

Yesterday we went for a walk up in Bella Vista around the lake a 1.8 mile trek followed by playtime at the park and McDonalds for lunch afterward. The kids had fun and so did I and GRANDMA….
Then today we spent sometime at the mall~ I returned a couple dresses and bought some RAINBOW flip flops~The kids were GREAT all day and we’ve all gotten some much needed rest.

ON tap for this week is continued “off” for me from workouts~ it feels really good to have a BREAK from the pressure to fit it in. I try to do this about twice a year- and I always come back stronger than ever! As for the kids, they’ll be busy with swimming lessons, Gramma’s last day here is tomorrow (sad)…and this is Gracie’s last week of preschool EVER!! She’ll get a week off before she starts kindergarten on the 6th- I am amazed, I thought the day would never come, lol!

~ I will join in on Booty challenge that’s going on in my RR on the 30th with that!! ! CAN’T WAIT!!

Yesterday I promised pictures…here they are! <a href=”http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s161/buffmother/Gunz%20bday%20week/”>Some Pictures from this past b-day week</a>

Have a great week~

Big focus on BIG muscles and BIG movements!

Hay, Hay, Hay!!

Great week!!! I am loving this consistency challenge~

I had a good leg workout yesterday- BIG focus on BIG MOVEMENTs!
That is the key to getting results. The foundation to my training program has revolved around using my BIG muscles and sticking to mostly BIG movements. Auxiliary exercises are not nearly as effective as the MAIN ones.
So keep that in mind when you are working out. THINK “what is the BIGGEST hardest exercise I can do right now for the BIGGEST muscles on my body?” And then do them…you will be amazed at how much more results you will gain.

Please read MUSCLE BURNS FAT! for more understanding about this concept.

here is my workout from yesterday:
warm up 8min r-bike
front squat (just trying these out again)
45×10
95×10
squat
95×10
135×6
155×6x2

Dead lifts
135×10x2
155×6

Leg press
180×20
set of calves
270×10
360×6x2
180×20x2 squeeze butt
ab knee ups on roman chair between

Smith lunges
90×10
110×10
straight leg ups on bench between

my booty isn’t sore today :(…so I think I may add a couple sets of walking lunges to my workout today

BOOTTAY!!
