All right, so I won’t hide the fact that I really love working out at the gym because it gives me a chance to leave my home. Working at home can be rewarding, but you feel stuck in a box some days.
Now, I know that for busy moms with busy lives, making the time to drive to a gym, find parking, pay for parking, get into your workout clothes, do an hour workout, drive back home, take care of the family, get dinner ready and then take care of household chores is just too much to ask.
That’s why I’m such a HUGE fan of fitness DVDs for people who want to get into shape and who just cannot find the time to get to a gym. People make a huge deal of the latest and greatest fitness trend as life changer and THE all time best way of losing weight, but the reality is quite simple – if you start moving and sweating you’ll burn calories. That means that when you do intensive exercises (regardless of which one), you’ll burn fat, you’ll lose weight and you’ll lose belly fat!
That said, I’ve found a few DVD that will get you moving and get you to take real action if your goal for 2010 is to become healthier and fit.

81,000 people attend online tapping event
Last year there was an online event that had more people attend than would fit into Giants Stadium in New York.
Now the event wasn’t a sports event, and it didn’t have any big celebrities in it or anything like that.
What made this event unique, driving over 81,000 people to attend online was that it was teaching a technique so powerful, so effective and so life changing that people flooded the event in droves to learn about it.
People from around the world turned off their TV’s, put their children to bed early and skipped dinner just to get all of the information in this free ten day event.

OK, so it’s February and if you’re like most people, guess what has happened to your well-intentioned New Year’s resolutions?

Bipasha Basu is getting India into fitness!
Bipasha Basu, the Indian superstar celebrity that has for mission to get Indian into fitness!
Bipasha Basu might not be a house-hold name in North America, but she’s the Angelina Jolie of India. Like so many of these East Indian film goddesses, Bipasha Basu is simply stunning (I mean STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL). You’ll have to forgive me because I’m a HUGE fan of Bollowood female stars and movies (and no I don’t speak Hindi, but love watching the movies).
Bipasha Basu started her career as a super model and then became on silver screen sweetheart.
Bipasha Basu is 6 feet tall which is very (VERY) rare for an Indian woman and a few years ago the daily local tabloid papers made it their mission to depict her as “fat”. Back in 2006, Mid-Day (an Indian tabloid) had written an article saying “Bips becomes fat“. This was the kick in the behind Bipasha needed to make changes in her life since she had put on weight during two successful movies: Jism and Gunaah. Since Bipasha’s boyfriend kept telling her she was the hottest thing on earth she never saw herself as being fat … but the rest of India had a different perspective.

Fitness boxing for women interview
Fitness boxing is one of my all time favourite fitness activities and having the pleasure to talk to another woman who likes it as much as I do is simply mind blowing to me.
Fitness boxing has transformed the way I workout and the way I feel about my body and I had met up to now few women willing to put on gloves and bang on those bags.
Fitness boxing is only one of the many sports Cheryl from ThatGilrisFunny.com practices on a weekly base and I truly hope you’ll take the time to listen to this 40 minutes podcast.
Not only is Cheryl officially my first podcast guest on Eat Smart Age Smart, but the conversation with her was incredibly inspiring and I hope something she shares will inspire you to also go out and discover a fitness activity that rocks your world.
Once you’ve listened to this podcast you REALLY understand why age is nothing but a number!

10 reasons why I workout regularly
As much as I’d be willing to give up an organ before having to give up working out, I wasn’t always all that keen on exercising.
In fact, the first few times I started exercising, I hated it. I detested the whole idea of having to sweat so much and then spend the next two days in pain.
I truly didn’t start enjoying fitness and exercise until 2000. That’s when I got laid off from a corporate job and found myself with about 25 lbs extra from all that office food that is everywhere (you know what I’m talking about: huge muffins for morning meetings, catered lunches, candy/chocolate at every desk, Beth’s homemade peanut butter cookies that she brings in every Friday and all those cakes for birthdays).

Nike Lunarglide shoes are the lightest EVER!
I’ve been wearing Nike trainers for years (I mean years) now because they are the rare shoes that fit my foot.
I have a narrow foot and shoes like New Balance just never seem to work.
That said, I have discovered some pretty sweet Reeboks that I absolutely love wearing.
In fact, I had written a review on my sexy new Reebok shoes and you can read it here if you’ve missed it: Reebok Fitness Fashion is killer

Saltare on American Best Dance Crew
Saltare on American Best Dance Crew brought skipping rope to a whole new level!
I’ll admit to being a tab bit old to watch American Best Dance Crew (I’m not quite their target audience), but I cannot help it because I just love the show so much!
On Season 5 east regional qualifications there was a group that is not only dancing to serious hip hop music, but they are dancing while skipping rope (this you had to see).
The entire group is made of international jump ropers and they are now including some serious dance moves. Most of these kids have been skipping rope on a professional level for 10 years!
