{YouTube Workout} Zumba to P!nk!

Good morning, all!  Here is a short cardio workout to add to your toning routine for today! It starts off with one of my most favorite warm up songs, and they rest are by P!nk. If you have any suggestions for songs you'd like to see in the next Zumba playlist, let me know!

The best thing about Zumba is that you don't have to be good at dancing for it to work!  Just shaking your body and putting effort in will show results. So, if it's your first time doing Zumba, remember to not get frustrated and just laugh it off when you mess up!  I've been to tons of classes where even the INSTRUCTOR messes up!  You can do it :)





My suggestion is to start with yesterday's toning post, then move to doing this playlist for cardio. If you feel like it's too much, just skip to the songs you like!

Happy Friday!!

{YouTube Workout} Total Body Workout Number One

If you are anything like me, your busy schedule doesn't leave a huge amount of time to fit in your ideal workout every day. That's why it's important to target exactly what you need to get done in a short amount of time. Over time, I will be creating and posting my own videos on YouTube of the workouts I did to help me lose 80 pounds, but it may be a while before I get the chance to get them done. Often, I find myself searching YouTube to get some fresh inspiration to keep my workout fun, and not surprisingly, there is a treasure trove of awesome stuff for fitties like us! Until I get my own videos up, I'm going to be posting links to the videos I love. Each post with the title {YouTube Workout} will be designed to do once through (or more times if you want!) and will target most of the "trouble" areas we tend to focus on.

So, if you're feeling energetic today try to complete all of the "mini-workouts" I have in the first play list. However, if you want to start easy, just pick four and make every move count!  Just a heads up, you'll need a set of free weights (or as they mention, cans of soup work too if you don't have access to a set of hand weights) and some water.

Start by stretching a little then get right into working on your abs....

Then work on your inner thighs!  I will warn you, this is tough!!

We'd be lying if we said we didn't like the results of this one. It's hard but SO worth it.

Legs, Legs, Legs

Then even it up with arms!

And just so you all know, I did this exact play list once a day for two weeks and saw results by day three. So, keep up the hard work and let me know how you like it!!! Add in a little bit of cardio to fill up and hour, and you've got a great workout to do at least three times per week.  Happy exercising!
