New Video – Beginner Strength Workout
Here is a complete circuit, appropriate for the beginner or even intermediate for a quick butt-kicking. You will hit every part of the body, and keep the heart rate up! Tighten, tone, strengthen, and blast fat. Safe for post-pregnancy, too (once your doctor gives you the go ahead, of course). So follow along. I had a tricky time with music (apparently we are not allowed to play music in our videos anymore) so if it disappears, I’ll replace it with some other tunes. Work hard!

So start trying them out, and including them in your circuit training. ...

Regular push-ups are such an effective tightener of everything waist-up: It will firm up your chest, shoulders, tighten and tone your back, flatten and strengthen your core and define your triceps. What’s not to love? Well, monotony I guess. So if push-ups are boring you, if you dread them, try them this way. The Hand Over Hand Push-Up spruces up the old favourite, adds an extra traveling challenge to the core and fine-tunes your co-ordination. Keep it nice and tidy, no tipping or flailing around! Give it a shot.
