Monday Manjoyment!

Happy Monday Kittens!! I'm a lot happier now! ;-)

I'd also like to say- this has nothing to do with Monday Manjoyment or my blog or fitness but there is ONE blasted fruit fly flying around my house and he's been flying around my house for 2 days and I cannot kill him. It is DRIVING ME INSANE.

Dramatic Pause.

Dang. Our friend Georges is HARD CORE. Have you gotten yourself a copy of GSP Rushfit yet? OMG. Seriously one of the best investments you can make. These workouts are TOUGH and very well led by Erik Owings- very detailed guidance, which is impressive. Check it:

Not to mention Georges is quite amusing in these workouts. The accent and his little mantras WITH said accent, well, they add a nice touch. ;-) 

Anyway- I've started this week out with a bang. Yesterday I did Cathe HIIT 40/20 (YEA BABY I CHANGED IT UP!! BOOYA!!) and then Physique 57. Holy Crap. I am telling you people, the Physique 57 workout got my heart rate up to 160 several times. And several times I may or may not have cried out for my mommy. And Georges as well. I was delusional with glute activation. Seriously- this was my first time going all the way through that workout and suffice it to say, I'll be doing this several times a week now. You may want to grab my bootie when you see me because I am CARVING IT UP y'all.*

OMG this woman will beat you up, in that pleasurable workout way. I could not believe how difficult (in a good way) these moves are! HOLY COW. 

*Disclosure- Physique 57 did send me this DVD complimentary but did not ask for a review. I have not been compensated for my review. My company FitFluential will be doing some fun interactions with Physique 57 going forward so we do have a business relationship. As all of you that read my blog know, my opinions and exclamations are truly my own.*

So, after 20 minutes of HIIT and the Physique 57 workout, my burn was 670 calories. Not bad! ;-) I dig it. 

As I dig this. Not sure what that quote is about. Really, that's not the point. The point is, GSP is just all that and a cupcake. Me Likey.

I'm also drinking the HECK out my water - y'all should be proud but no I haven't given up Diet Coke #dontjudge just balancing it out with H20 thanks to the nudge from the #BritaChallenge. ;-) 

Question of the Day: Do you do a "cheat day" or just eat with a healthy approach? 

Monday Manjoyment!

Oh Heavens to Betsy. I can't believe I didn't put Georges St. Pierre up as Monday Manjoyment in previous weeks. What's wrong with me? I still haven't made it through all of the GSP RushFit DVDs that I have but the last one I did was Explosive Power Training and it did NOT disappoint. Although, really, how could it disappoint? GSP could get up and bake a cake on DVD and I'd consider that a workout. It's fun to just watch. It's exercise FOR THE MIND. 

*Ahem*

Anyway, I cannot say enough good things about these DVDs. It is SUCH a complete set-- so thorough with the instruction and also very thorough in warm-up AND cool-down. The instructor is Erik Owings and he is so professional and shares a LOT of sensible tips throughout. And it is quite funny when GSP starts kind of rambling on how Erik can just PULL HIM BACK IN. If you want to check out the DVD set, CLICK HERE. 

That's Erik and GSP, true besties. I'm sure that they call each other that too. I'm also relatively sure that Erik will be texting me any second asking if GSP would be cool with him asking me out. Because as you all know, GSP is my next ex-boyfriend. Although I might reconsider this fantasy  idea because as I did a Google Search for images for this post, it seems that GSP may indeed be a Man-Whore. Alas, so many of them are. OY. 

I like it sooo much better than the RKS Kettlebell System I bought. Not sure why and I will make sure to give that another try soon but hey, it's not pulling me back in. Also DAMMIT CATHE FRIEDRICH! She's produced a whole new line of amazing DVDs-- LOW IMPACT this time!! I was at her site and saw this new "Low Impact Series" you can pre-order now. DANG! She's killing me! But I love her for it. I really like the two DVDS I have from her currently, Lower Body and High Reps. That woman is THE BOMB. 

Hmm. Apparently GSP likes Under Armour. I don't have a problem with that. (Amy I don't want to hear it about the guys from Under Armour in another state ok?) In fact, at this moment, Under Armour has the best sports bras for girls like me with a lot of stuff to put IN them. OK? 

Dude. Check out his quads and hamstrings. That's so awesome. 

Now, I must let you kittens go. I'll shoot some vlogs tomorrow, as here it is late Monday afternoon and I have not pulled out my camera- another busy day UGH. Mondays always slay me. 

QUESTION OF THE DAY: I NEED TO UPDATE MY IPOD WITH RUNNING SONGS BECAUSE I'M BACK AT IT, RUNNING, AND NEED SOME TUNAGE!! TELL ME WHAT YOU LOVE??
