Paige's Inspire(d) workout



Check out my good friend Paige working out today. This is why I named my fitness biz "Inspire" fitness because of strong, motivated, dedicated and committed women that have a desire to get fit.

If you haven't met Paige on my blogs please take a moment to read about the journey her life has taken in the last year -- this will put the video of her workout today in perspective. For Paige's personal story look at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/paigeconnard

Get up, get out, and get moving America. If Paige can do it anyone can and anything is possible with hope and determination!

4 day fat loss complete

Just finished a 4 day modified version of Graeme's 7 day fat loss camp and am happy. For me and my schedule as a busy mom, wife, group-x spin instructor and personal trainer, it's so much easier this way than the 7 day one. I bet if you're reading this you're just as busy and wonder how the heck do you change your eating habits for 7 days.

We talked to Graeme about this on our podcast (see our podcast on the right of this blog) and he gave us some great tips on modifying the same 7 day plan, basically condensing it to 4 days. It works great - you have tons of energy and not feel like it's such a long stretch nor a sacrifice. And the best part of all is that I saw 4 pounds come off in 4 days and never once did I feel starved.

I also started tracking my nutrition via sparkpeople - check us out at Team Paige http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/groups_individual.asp?gid=31470.

Lastly if you want to try the workouts I do, I mainly use the TRX system and cycling as my main workouts and Pilates reformer when I get the time.


Personally, the TRX has made such a difference in how I exercise (good-bye crunches!). The best part is that it costs only about $150, which I consider it a steal because you can get a total body workout with JUST the TRX.

Here’s a link to the TRX Online Store:

As a bonus for shopping via the link above, you’ll get a $20 ‘Thank You’ Certificate that you can use for a future purchase at fitnessanywhere.com to be used for future purchases (that’s more than half of the cost of a Training Program (DVD/Guide).


Let me know how you train!
