BIKINI BOOTCAMP: ALPHABET ARMS

posted by Mike on Apr 2 2014, under Health/Fitness

Arms is one of the easiest muscle groups to tone-- you can start seeing results as quickly as within three days of weeeerking it out!

This arm dance is one of my favorites because it engages your mind while you ‘rep’. I call it alphabet arms because you are drawing the entire alphabet with each arm.

Grab weights 5lbs or less. I would suggest 2’s or 3’s, max! Bulk bulk bulk. Tone tone tone!

As you might have (*cough *cough, hopefully, hello is anyone out there?!?) noticed, I'm all about ABS! I live for a lovely lady with three vertical lines. Real girl interpretation= cut abs straight down your center, and left and right obliques. Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce...

You Better Work Betch!

Here's a 5-minute triceps routine that you can do in front of your TV...

BIKINI BOOTCAMP: BEYONCÉ BUM

posted by Elshane on May 1 2014, under Health/Fitness

The image of Beyoncé's bum from the 2014 Grammys {surfbordtttt} will forever linger in my mind. That thing was caged in black straps but couldn't be tamed. Yet, at the same time, it was oh so tamed. Actually, tamed to the point that even a {gasp} twerk wouldn't make that thing jiggle. I'm talking rock.solid.muscle.

As farfetched as Beyoncé's life is to most reality, we too can achieve the unbreakable bum. All the more reason to get down a few times a week to this workout, which really.really.really.WERKS.

ATHLEISURE ALL DAY

posted by Elshane on Oct 25 2016, under Health/Fitness

Free the legs!!!!

We've all heard it enough, athleisure is taking over the fashion space in a big way, but what is exciting and new to share to the world is that the silhouette of the women's workout pant is expanding (literally and figuratively), finally!

I love me a good yoga legging, but something just felt right about putting on these not too loose, but not too tight jogger sweatpants for my workout. It gave me a little fire in my step and a little extra motivation in my workout. 

Yeah, OK, I got some "oohs and ahhs" at the gym. Some wandering eyes... "What is she wearing? Are those sweatpants?" "Wait, no they're Lululemon workout pants that give her a little more swag than our BASIC spandex," they all gasped in exhilaration! (In their heads, I know this for a fact!)

I wore them to dance class and felt a little more soul in my step. And then of course I wore them around town for the rest of the day and felt like I was in pajamas. It was a great day.

 

**Pant sizing: I stuck with my true size-- Lululemon's smallest size which is a 2-- I tried the 4 because I wanted them nice and roomy but the 4 was way too big for me.**
