Gearing Up for this Year’s Get-In-Shape Quest

BY Nancy Janiola IN , , 13 comments

Contrary to what I believed as still popular these days, I was surprised to learn that a great number of people have long been casted the thing away from their faculty now too. To them making a New Year’s resolution or a list of things one wants to accomplish for the year is nothing but a waste of time seeing a lot of these makers (probably including themselves then) are not actually making any of it. Can’t blame them though! It is indeed easier to make a change when you know exactly you can make it for yourself regardless of time.

Well as for the subject of this post, getting in shape is nothing new to me. It isn’t a failed 2011 New Year’s resolution either but rather a regimen I’ve been trying to keep for over a year now though I must admit it has downtimes too on the process. But it’s not like it is something I felt badly crazy about. I know exactly what I want to achieve and know when to start. And yes, for the entire holiday I made an exception. I bet you who are on the same grind did the same too.

Now it’s time to get back on track.

This morning I was asked to shop for party supplies for my niece’s birthday tomorrow. I took that chance to grab this pair of knee caps I can use for doing push-ups. I still find it hard doing the conventional way so I’m on my knees most of the time.
I also have my other workout accessories ready. I doubt if I can kick off tomorrow though with all the tasks assigned to me for the party but let there be no more excuses come the next day. Time waits for no one. In achieving something, let this phrase be our guideline instead.

In So Much Pain

BY Nancy Janiola IN , , , , No comments

Recently I've been whining about a few pounds I've regained and how I need to get myself back into the workout routine. This time I feel so beat up and can hardly move around.

Should I say thanks to the power interruption we have had the whole time yesterday, I was able to finally grab and make use one of my newest workout accessories - the resistance tube set? Good heaven it was even tougher than lifting 2 (2lbs) dumbbells all at the same time! But I had to try. Otherwise, there's no way my muscles can get used to it.
By the way, I did Billy Blanks' Basic Bootcamp training using these bands. It is a 56-minute workout I used to do on a regular basis along with other programs. Can you imagine how it feels doing it again after being inactive for months? The muscles pain is driving me insane right now that I need to take a pain suppressant pill. If not, I would remain a junky for days.

Anyway, that was at least a start. Soon everything will be in place and I can be just as fine doing the routine just like the old times.

My Newest Workout Accessories

BY Nancy Janiola IN , , , , 4 comments

I'm doing different kinds of Billy Blanks' Tae Bo workout and each workout requires different accessories. Here I'm sporting my new pair of so girly pink 1lb dumbbells for my Tae Bo Extreme workout and a set of Gold's Gym resistance tube in 3 different strength levels for my Basic Bootcamp exercise.
