Take The Valslide Challenge

We are all striving to improve our fitness levels, including myself, so I decided to bring you a new Valslide challenge. This one was designed by my friend and fitness expert Tanner Marty from Leaflifestyle.com

This workout is a fun way to bring your training up a notch. You are going to burn tons of calories, melting the fat off your body.

You will also sculpt your legs, abs, butt, chest, and shoulders.

This workout won’t take long, but it is totally effective for getting beach ready in record time!

For the workout, all you need are your Valslides and a timer – I’m a big fan of GYMBOSS

Set your Gym Boss timer for 5 seconds rest and 20 second work intervals.

Valslide Reverse Lunge (Right Leg) – 20 seconds
Valslide Reverse Lunge (Left Leg) – 20 seconds
Atomic Pushup – 20 seconds
Valslide Side Lunge (Right Leg) – 20 seconds
Valslide Side Lunge (Left Leg) – 20 seconds
Valslide Pushup Fly – 20 seconds
Jump Squat – 20 seconds

Do the circuit twice.

Rachel Nichols’ Event Day Workout

This past weekend I went to see the new Star Trek movie. Even though I’m not a hard core Trekkie, I still very much enjoyed the movie. My client, Rachel Nichols, plays Gaila The “Green Girl”, and has a very notable scene with Captain James T. Kirk. We had lots of fun preparing for this nearly naked scene, and this was when the seed for the “I Want My Bikini Body!” program was sown.

The day of the premiere, Rachel came in for one my event day workouts. I use these workouts to help clients feel energized and confident on their big day! See if it works for you…
