Fitness Friday #4

First order of business last weeks Fitness Friday Give Away Winner is.....Mandy and Sugar Bee Craft Edition!!!  Woot Woot Mandy!!!  I'm so excited I hope you love using your new equipment!

I'm getting a late start with this weeks Fitness Friday, sorry about that.  Type A just hit 250 Friends and I had a lot going on getting my new Give Away open.

The weather is getting nicer here, so I may actually clean out my garage and set up my gym.  I used to have my gym in my bedroom.  I had to move it out after I redecorated.  It didn't fit any more.

It's okay in the garage, and worse case I have a space heater out there.  I own a Bayou Fitness Total Trainer DLX-III Home Gym.  Say that three times real fast!  lol  It's just like a Total Gym, but affordable! 

Isn't it pretty!  It didn't come with this many attachments when I bought it, and it cost less then too.  I'm sure they just raised the price because they added so many attachments to it.  It's a great gym, I love it.  They make three models of the this one, DXL I, DXL II AND DXL III.  The only real difference is how many attachments come with each model, and of course price. 

It's very sturdy and slides great, holds up to 100 additional lbs and folds up.  I have mine tucked away in my garage.  It's very easy to assemble too.  I had forgotten how, cause it had been up in my room for years, and I just called them and they walked me through it.  Of course I felt like a huge moron, but their customer service is excellent.  This is the only gym I'll ever own.

So here's to warmer weather and 'gym days'!  Now I'm off to sweat it off, it's workout time for this girly.

Happy Fitness Friday!  Next week I'm gonna give you a break down of my routine that I make up. 

Fitness Friday #2

This is really one of my favorite topics.  This week I want to talk about equipment.  I have a few I can't live with out, well, I don't want to live with out them.  Today I'm gonna talk about three of them.



First up, Lex Loop by SPRI, I love this, it's really great for working your lower body, and the cuffs keep it in place around your ankles.  It comes in 5 different resistant levels too.  Starts around $18.  I own a yellow, green and red one. 

Second item, Bodylastics Bands.  These are awesome, and you can do a ton of different moves with them.  Works the entire body, head to toe.  Love the pouch, very travel friendly.  This is a great system if you are looking for an affordable home gym.  Starts around $46.  I own two of each band and extras of the handles, leg straps and door anchors.  Makes it easier to go from one exercise to the other.

Third, the Bender Ball.  This is great for abs, butt and back.  You can also get them at Target.  They go for $10 on the website, at Target they are $20, but you get more videos.  I love to squeeze these between my knees when I work on my abs and quads.  I own two.  Why do I own two?  Well, I put one behind my back when I'm doing my crunches and I squeeze one between my knees to work my inner thigh.  I'm all about work smarter not harder!  lol

I love that these are affordable and portable.  I've been know to work out even on vacation.

Update on last weeks Fitness Friday, my new Jari Love videos came in the mail.  I did her Extremely Ripped, all 3 thirty minute segments.  I loved it, I could have used heavier weight, but I had never done the video.  Now that I  know what to expect I will push it more the next time I do it.  It's really great, you can do as many of the segments as you like with as much or no weight.  Perfect for any level. 

Check back next Friday for a Fitness Give Away!
