The BIGGEST YouTube Community New Year's Resolutions/Goals Video for 2010!

Yay!! im in this WL Community colab video about our goals and resolutions for 2010!! :D im so excited!!

Today's AWESOME workout!!

Okay folks, so today’s workout was intense!! And I burned more calories than I have ever before on a single session, 400 calories!!! So I decided to share the workouts I did with Jacob earlier this morning. It was definitely an excellent session!!

Down here im going to list all the movements I did, as well as links to videos in case you don’t know what they are. Some of the ones I did were slightly different to the demonstration but I tried to get the closest I could find.

After I finished with my session I did 25 minutes of spinning and bumped up my calorie burning to 662 burning 268 on the bike. It was a GREAT day!

10 minutes of rowing for my warm up


3 sets of 12 - hyper extension lower back/ab work


3 sets of 12 - cable woodchopper twists


3 sets of 12 – leg press with 135 lbs.


3 sets of 12 – barbell squats with no weight on a BOSU balance trainer
3 sets of 12 – barbell squats with 5 lbs on a BOSU balance trainer
3 sets of 12 – barbell squats with 15 lbs on a BOSU balance trainer



3 sets of 12 - low level box plyometric jumps


3 sets of 12 - step plyometric leg lift on a balance ring
I couldn’t find a video to demonstrate this one. Boo… but basically what it is, you step up on a low level box and raise your knee up to the level of your waist, hold for 2 seconds and go down to the floor. Jacob put a balance disc on the box/step to engage my core and make me work harder.


I really hope this helps you guys!! :) Enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

Much love,
Diana

How To Get Abs Like MTV's "The Situation"

great workout!!!

Welcome 2010!

I have abandoned this blog for way too long. Even though I do enjoy writing, I have not made time to sit down and put together some blog entries. If you follow me on twitter then you more or less know what has been going on in my life, twitter is like a quick blog of my everyday tasks and adventures, although I try not to over-post things that seem useless or just a plain waste of time. I try to always post something that will make my followers think about current goals, future goals, or unfinished goals. I try to tweet about something that will motivate my followers to get to the gym and workout or to have a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner.

2009 is over and a new year is beginning. I could not be more excited to start 2010. I have all my goals set in my head already. 2009 was a year of growth. I learned so much this past year, training with Jacob, going to the gym almost every day, taking over 200 spinning classes, lifting over 1000+ lbs of weight. (Not all at once, of course), it really made me a completely different person. I have become someone I never though I’d be. Honestly, today I have no idea how I ever lived without working out. It is such an essential, crucial part of me now, just like food or water. When it comes to working out and losing weight to reach that dream body you can only win against genetics up to a certain point. Once you understand this, you can let go of unreachable goals and replace them with real ones. What goals have you set for 2010? (Realistic, specific ones that are accomplish-able) I would love to hear some of them.
