TGIF! Did you crush it this week??
The week isn't over yet. Don't end it on a low note! COME ON!! I'm actually heading out in a few to meet my BFF Anna for sushi and likely some sake (WHAT?) so, I must be brief. When does THAT ever happen? LOL
Kids, I actually shot a SMALL BRIEF vlog this morning after my workout because-- I wanted to try out one of my new Brazil Butt Lift DVDs. I don't know why- I've been very 50/50 on my thoughts of what these workouts would be- but (no pun intended) there are NOT a lot of DVDs that focus soley on the glutes--right? I actually saw on the P90X Facebook page I think that a lot of women found P90X to be lacking in the butt-work area so they mixed in BBL. Anyway, I personally think the outfits in the video are kinda cheesy (that's just me, this has no relevancy at all!!) and the teacher's accent is BIG and he comes across as very HIGH ENERGY and well- anyway---- I didn't know what I'd think of the workout. I had previewed the instructional video and thought that maybe this DVD would be more - working on the butt but not a 'cardio factor'. So I started off with Cathe HIIT 30/30.
Then I ventured into the first DVD called (gulp) Bum Bum. Yes, it's called Bum Bum and he says Bum Bum a LOT.
Let me tell you this. SO MUCH MORE INTENSE THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!!!! OMG!! First of all, I didn't finish because I actually had to stop and catch my breath and rewind. I am -- even at first peek, SO much more excited about this DVD set than I ever thought before- here's my little winded review:
I'm telling you kids- I plan to do the entire DVD and then the others but I was so pleasantly surprised. I have a feeling my bootie is gonna be happy- all the moves are DEFINITELY working every area of the butt plus of course you get your legs in there too and the cardio factor- YOU WILL BE BURNING! WOOT!
I only did like a total of 35 minutes in all and I burned 375 calories. Not bad for a quickie. And yes, you CAN order Brazil Butt Lift from my Beachbody Website if you'd like- so full disclosure, I will earn a commission.
For those of you reading my blog for a while, I think you know I share/review/recommend a lot of stuff and most of it is just stuff I'm addicted to, but I do earn a commission on the BB stuff so I want to disclose that. Those of you that know me know that I don't rave about anything unless I LOVE IT.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: What was your best workout this week?? Plans for Mother's Day??

The Bum bum would just annoy the heck out of me. I love the Core Fusion videos for butt workouts surprisingly.
My best workout this week would defiantly be the personal half marathon I ran on Sunday. Was feeling that for a couple of days afterwards. I set a personal record for distance, and hope to improve on the time.
Don't know if I could bring myself to do a work out called "Bum, Bum." :) Some trainer (I think it is Holly Rigsby) has fitness program called - get this - Fit Yummy Mummy. That name is so absolutely ridiculous, that would feel degraded to even own it, much less do it. LOL, would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? If she was savvy enough to call it Warrior Anything, then maybe I'd give it a try. So anyhow, the guy w/the funny accent may have something going w/his Brazil Butt Lift but I am not likely to every get past the names and the cheesiness.
However, Insanity Asylum...THAT is something I want to hear more about!
Glynis, I'm telling you- his accent, the way he smiles- it gets on my last nerve but I like the workout! And that's funny because I'm really picky about workout DVD instructors! I'm doing a few of the original Insanity DVDs again to get myself ready to do Asylum! Stay tuned!
Best workout last week was shadow boxing and I did a new DVD, the Kathy Smith Staying Strong and I loved it.
Saw your recent post, hope you're feeling better.
Angie- I am feeling better- Saturday was ROUGH!! ;-(
And OMG I love Kathy Smith- is that a new one?
