Taking it all the way to centre stage
The GGS crew are closing the office for Spring Break and will be away until March 24, 2010. We have promised our families no computers or phones. So we have some favorite encore posts until that time. ~Happy Spring, from the GGS crew! To give you some background information, eight years ago in late July [...]
Workout Video: Bringing Your Sexy Back
Yup, this week’s video workout is all about bringing sexy back…to your back. Often we focus on our abdominals and forget to balance our ab workouts with an adequate back workout. The one thing I’d caution about the moves in this video is to really watch your form and make sure you power from your [...]
Workout video: building abs like boxers with an ab wheel
Today’s workout video comes courtesy of our twitter friend @Smashfit. When she mentioned ‘the ab wheel’ I knew she didn’t mean some pansy shopping channel gimmick. Because if you’ve seen pictures of her abs, you know she’s the real deal. And so is today’s exercise. This one is favored by boxers and athletes. Take a [...]
Best of…the abdominal workouts – video
Here’s a great short video from Diets.com on moves that will work your abs, your obliques and more…try the moves out and see how this video compares to Cassey Ho’s Pop Pilates 10 minute abdominal workout. My abs look nothing like the photo on the right, but I’m going to keep on doing more with [...]
The Mathematics of Weight Loss
Weight loss is often shrouded in mystery. Thousands of diets with variations on what it takes to lose weight proves this. While it’s not necessarily quite as simple as calories in, calories out, that is a very important starting point to getting yourself to your weight loss goals.
Cassey Ho’s Super Butt Burning Workout
We received this killer workout from California Pilates instructor Cassey Ho, who uploaded her video on our GGS Facebook page (which, by the way, we’re hoping you are a fan of!). We think if you can get through the full ten minutes of this without a major bum cramp you have buns of steel! (Nope, [...]
A 3,000 Year Old Holiday Stress Saver
In-laws, holiday parties, tightened wallets, the list goes on of what we need to accomplish in just a few short weeks of the holiday season. If you are in desperate need of an immediate tension-tamer, I have one word for you: Yoga. For those who may already have a regular yoga practice, you will appreciate [...]
What’s your hurry…?
Love, LOVE Jody’s post over at Truth2BeingFit.com…it’s all about working out with proper form and NOT rushing through your workout, which is a great reminder for those of us (my hand is up) who are always in a hurry in the rest of our lives. If you find yourself rushing through your reps, stop, take [...]
Beautiful Legs for the Ladies
I picked this video this week because I have never done this exercise before. After seeing it and trying it I thought it was a good one that you can do anywhere, while making dinner, watching t.v., etc and to help get those sexy legs ready for your Christmas parties that will be coming very [...]
The Final Word on Core Rhythms from Erica and Susan
I successfully made it to the end of the 8 week trial of The Core Rhythms Workout. It was a fun and exciting 8 weeks indeed.
The Best Ankle Weights Workout
As a runner, I’ve injured myself a few times now as a result of core weakness. (um, four BIG babies=JelloBelly after!) So four years ago it was with great interest that I found myself ordered sternly by my sports med doctor to slap weights on my….ankles. Yes, who knew that just as my children now [...]
Best Ab and Inner Thigh Exercise
I love this exercise you can totally feel it, especially the abs!!! This is one that I for sure will add to my routine. Would love to know what you think of this workout.
Erica and Susan’s Core Rhythm Update
Erica: Over the past couple of weeks I have continued to combine the Core Rhythms workout with other cardio type workouts like running and the elliptical trainer. I feel fantastic and I can start to see some definition in my mid section….well, ok, who are we kidding….not quite definition….but, the waistband on my jeans aren’t [...]
Erica and Susan’s update on the Core Rhythms program
Erica: Do you want the good news….or the bad news? Ok, good news first….I am proud to say that I haven’t gained any weight this week….so, I am sure you can guess the bad news….that’s right, I haven’t lost any weight either. I am at a standstill on my journey to weight loss and therefore, [...]
Crunch time….abdominal crunches, that is!
Here is an interesting video clip of how to do an abdominal crunch…what do you think? What is your favorite core-strengthening exercise(s)? But we do need to target ALL of the abdominal muscles, not just the Rectus Abdominis that the crunch works. So what’s your belly bruisin’ move, girlfriend?
Erica and Susan’s second week on the Core Rhythms program
Susan: I have to be honest – this week has been a very busy and crazy week for me – so – with that said I haven’t been able to do too much with the workout part of this program. I did manage to work out a few times. I have to agree with my [...]
