Now that I am getting used to this whole blogging thing. I feel as if I want to share more. So I'm going to share. Over the years, especially during high school, I have become quite lazy. Laying around the house and watching television or movies was the top priority once Friday night came and I had the weekend to relax. I was also starting to eat badly and gain a little weight. Fast food made me feel sluggish and gross, not to mention tired all the time. Soda gave me a quick boost of energy then left me tired in a span of just a few hours. I knew that I needed to change my lifestyle or I was going to end up with no ambition to do anything but eat gross food and lay around waiting for the next cooking show to come on. So I started exercising.
Sure, exercising sounds boring. It sounds un-fun. How can running in place, lifting weights, and sweating while straining your body be exciting? Well I'm here to set the record straight: It's not. I'm not one of those exercise freaks that will lie to you and say, "Oh exercising is awesome! I love it so much I wish my life consisted of just working out!" (This statement could be true if your a personal trainer, but if you're average like me, it's not). Exercising is hard. It's hard to get into and it's hard to keep up with. What is exciting about it is the results that you get once you've begun to lose weight and tone your body.
I tried many different workout routines. The Rack, The Bender Ball, Yoga, and Running. None of them were interesting nor did they seem to be working. They made me sweat a little and my muscles were sore when I was done, but I wasn't getting any results. Then my gracious friend who is a Playboy Model (yes, I know be jealous) sent me a link to Bodyrock.TV. "What is this crap?" I thought to myself. Then I took a closer look and realized that it's working out using only your body and a timer. "How can this possibly be effective?" I was deceptive, but I am an open person who enjoys trying new things so I figured I'd give it a go. The first thing I did was the Fit Test which is a video from January 3rd, the first day of a 30 day Body Rock challenge. Now by no means am I overweight nor do I have health problems, but this test that lasted only eight minutes caused me to be drenched in sweat, out of breath, and on my knees praying for mercy. I didn't understand how this could be. I was hooked the moment I started sweating after the first exercise.
Lisa-Marie, Sean, and Freddy are all average people with amazing bodies because they push themselves to the limit which is what this type of workout is all about. You don't stop when you're tired. You don't stop when your legs are shaking and you're gasping for breath. You push through until the end. The workouts they create are different everyday. You never do the same routine twice. They change it up and make things interesting which is what keeps me coming back for more. It's only been a month, but I have lost nine pounds and I can now do ACTUAL push-ups. This may not seem like an accomplishment to most of you, but I've never been able to do a real push-up in my entire life. I always have to do the girly ones where you balance on your knees. These three people also explain the importance of healthy eating what supplements to take to maximize your weight loss and toning potential.
If you are looking for a workout that is going to make you huge, this isn't the workout for you. If you're looking for a workout that is going to disipline your life, give you strong, defined muscle structure, and make you feel great on a daily basis, then go to BodyRock.TV and check it out. The exercises are simple and easy to understand. They do use equipment in some of the videos, but they always give you an alternative if you don't have the equipment they use. You can work out at home, for free. All you need is internet access and the mindset that you can achieve a great body. Most likely, the rest of my blog posts are going to be about working out/healthy eating/healthy lifestyle because it's something I'm extremely passionate about and I love sharing it with others.
