Push It

I just KNOW that I need to get my body in shape. I've been watching the Biggest Loser and getting depressed that people who are obese/very overweight can push themselves to become so active and strong - and I, who is in the healthy BMI percentile gets tired walking up the stairs!

So I was playing on Trainer Bob's website, and found a really cool program called Push.tv. I'd describe it as a cross between netflix and a personal trainer. You choose the trainer you want (I chose Trainer Bob from Biggest Loser), and each month they send you new DVDs in the mail that changes while your body changes.

Check out the different phases:

PUSH.tv is the only comprehensive program that changes as you change, progressing your body the way a trainer would from month to month - in a customized way.

Phase I (Months 1, 2, 3) Core and Advanced Core: In this phase, we build a super-strong foundation, aligning and balancing all muscle groups using innovative exercises and resistance work. We incorporate optional equipment and area of focus into your DVD. Challenging for all fitness levels.

Phase II (Months 4, 5, 6) Advanced Core and Body/Functional: This is where you really start seeing results! We incorporate balance/stability/tempo options into the routine and increase specific body part focus.

Phase III (Months 7, 8, 9) Advanced Body/Functional: By now, your body has experienced some changes, and it's craving to be PUSHed even further! Here, we couple more challenging exercises with cardio intervals to work your muscles and the CV (cardio) system. Incredible changes happen in this phase.

Phase IV (Months 10, 11, 12) Circuit: Circuit training is a highly advanced system of grouping body parts to achieve increased strength and muscular endurance while tapping into the CV system during workouts. The rewards keep coming...and your entire body completes its transformation!

What sold me was that you can work out in your own home - I HATE going to the gym!!

I really hope this works for me - I want to have a hot beach body by the time summer comes along. I'll update my progress in this blog. And MAYBE I'll even post a before picture (ah!).
