Hi guys :) How’s your Indian Food Wednesday goin’? I was glad to hear that so many of you liked Eclipse! I can’t wait to see it.. and Edward’s face ;)

Many of you have asked questions about Insanity and TurboFire (about the workouts, how to buy them, etc) and I wanted to let ya’ll know that my friend Elizabeth is a Beach Body coach – hit her up *here* if you need any help/advice with the Beach Body programs or want to pick some up.

Mine day has been pretty glorious :)

In my dream world, I wear roti like it’s a giant shawl/poncho and can gnaw off bites whenever my heart desires:

Before my Indian feast with a friend, I did weights and then tortured some bootcamp students >:)

Snacked on my favorite Larabar:

and got a haircut. I was looking a little shaggy, so things are much more under control.

Nap, and then a snack:

apple

Apple + almond butter + mesquite

(Is anyone else STARVING after they take a nap??!!! The pilot always jokes with me about it. He’s like “what are you up to?” and when I tell him I just woke up from a nap and he says, “so are you making a snack or did you eat one already?” He knows me well.)

I’m about to head back to work to train clients and then get my cardio face on :D

Have a lovely night!

Something to read:

-What Exercise Science Doesn’t Know About Women (very interesting article! Mayjah thanks to those of you who sent it my way)

-Feds Investigate Alcohol Content of Kombucha (no wonder kombucha makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy….)

Today’s workout jam: “What Part of Forever” Cee Lo Green (In honor of Eclipse. Awesome for a steady state spin or run sesh)

Hey guys! Happy Indian Food Wednesday! Who’s celebrating?? *Raises roti in the air* You know I am ;)

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback on the Booty Sculpting reader’s request post. Send any reader’s request ideas my way: fitnessista at gmail dot com :D

So have you heard about the new Beachbody program?

Looks like SO much fun!

Here’s the conversation I had with the pilot last night about it.

Me: So… they have a new Beachbody program……

Pilot: Oh yeah?

Me: Yeah. It’s called TurboFire.

Pilot [starts cracking up]: Wait, TurboFire??? Hahahaha. So Beachbody just puts two words that sound crazy together. Infinity Blast? Lightning Race? Solar Ignition?

Me (laughing): You’re a funny guy. It’s kind of like Insanity but with that blonde girl teaching it… and it looks like some booty shaking is involved. Should I go for it?

Pilot: Yeah, go for it.

It may or may not be on the way ;) I’m excited to add some new cardio to my routine and will post reviews for ya’ll. As you all know, I was ridiculously in love with Insanity, so this will help fill the void a little :)

I can already tell you that Shaun T. is a thousand times more fun to look at than Chalene.

Shaun, I still miss your motivation, your abs and your man tights ;)

It’s good to change things up frequently and TurboFire will help shake things up a little.

-Insanity Final Review (I’m going to *try* and hit up the bod pod this afternoon and update with my change in body fat stats)

Here’s the plan for the day:

-Teach bootcamp (total body sculpt)

-Haircut

-Indian buffet!

-Clean and blog

-Work

I’m out like sauerkraut.

Something to talk about: Do you use High Intensity Interval Training in your routine? How do you HIIT?? My favorite is 1 minute of recovery, 30 seconds of sprinting, repeat. I’m a huge HIIT advocate :D It’s a great way to see quick results, blast fat, and get an effective workout in less time.

Something else to talk about: Who saw Eclipse last night?!?! I can’t wait to see it!!!
