Workin' on my fitness!

As I explained in an early post, I have been working out 4-6 days a week since about the middle of November. Most of the workouts are done at 4:30 a.m.  First of all, I cannot believe that I would ever ever ever wake up that early to work out!  EVER!  I have tried setting my alarm early soooo many times and I would always hit snooze.  For some reason I decided that when my alarm went off I wouldn't even think about sleeping more and it has worked.  Believe me, if I can do it then so can anyone else!!!  As a mother of a 1 year old, I know how precious sleep can be!  I have been off work for almost 2 weeks now so it will be like starting my early morning habit all over again when I go back on Tuesday!  UGH!  At least I am using the BEST workout program to make waking up a little easier.

Turbo Jam
I first ordered Turbo Jam, which is an older (within the last 10 years) workout program by Chalene Johnson.  You can check it out at www.teambeachbody.com or Amazon.  I ordered a used Turbo Jam from Amazon so I wouldn't be spending a lot of money in case I failed to use it.  Anyways, Turbo Jam is a mix of kickboxing and dance.  Chalene is awesome and coming up with inspiring moves that work your whole body!  The music is fantastic and it really is a fun workout!  Why else would I wake up so early?  I followed the program for a month before I ordered her latest and most difficult program, Turbo Fire.  I would recommend for most people to start with Turbo Jam.  The moves and workouts are easier and it's a great way to start a fitness program.

Turbo Fire
My new addiction comes in the form of 12 workout classes on 10 DVD's.  Each workout that I have done so far has kicked my butt!!!!  They are fun and I know I'm getting the best workout.  Plus Chalene just keeps bringing the motivation!  Like Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire incorporates kickboxing with dance moves into a high intensity cardio workout. In fact, if you have lower body injuries, this workout is probably not for you.  The schedule calls for workouts 6 days a week!  I'll be starting this program from the beginning tomorrow.  I have only had this one for about 3 weeks so I like to start fresh with the new year.  

Working out + eating well = looking good
