Today' Review: The Firm Total Body Toner
Allie Del Rio, 2007 **** (4 of 5 stars)

This is a 40 minute mostly strength workout led by Allie with 4 b/g exercisers in the set w/ the hardwood floors, white walls, and windows. Alison shows beginner modifications. You will need a variety of dumbbells for this workout.

Allie does a good job of hitting all the muscle groups with a lot of multi-limb exercises, though not all are multi muscle. When she does combine exercises she does so well, and the poundage worked well for all the moves involved in most cases.

She will typically introduce a lower body move, then add an UB move, and possilby another LB move to keep things interesting and challenging. There are 2 sets of plyo type cardio exercises, but the bulk of this w/o is strength- much of it got my HR up nicely.

Some of the exercises include: lunge with bicep curl & rear leg lift, side lunge with a row and a knee lift, deadlift, overhead tricep extension, planks, pushup w/ an arm tap, and she concludes with a nice ab/ core routine.

I really like this workout and they time seemed to fly by for me. I would rate this a solid intermediate workout that could be easily modified up or down. Many of the exercises got my heartrate up nicely and Im sure I burnt a good amount of calories. Allie does have some babytalk moments but its bearable.

CSN Stores Product Review!

I was lucky enough to try out some fantastic products from CSN Stores!!! I had a difficult time deciding what to pick for my review - afterall they have over 200 stores to choose from!

I finally decided on these two lovely items for my cake decorating hobby. I got the Nordicware Kitchenware 16" Stackable Cooking Rack Set:

Thats my raspberry lemonade cake cooling on the rack! I chose this rack because its stackable and saves space. When Im making cakes, I have bowls, racks, pans, and utensils everwhere so I really appreciate the space saving this cooling rack offers. I can also use this for cookies, breads, or any other baked goods Im working on. The "legs" snap on and off with ease & click right into place so you know they're secure. You can also use the racks side by side or one at a time!

But thats not all! I ALSO had the pleasure of trying out this AWESOME (much needed) Frieling Cake Butler.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this carrier! When I have cake class I have to take the cake from home, to the office, to cake class, and then back home. So as you can imagine-I desperately needed a nice carrier & am happy to report I FOUND IT! The handles fold down onto the sides and click right into place when you arent using them. The lid stays on tightly -how do I know? Well ask the lady that cut me off this morning- as I slam on my brakes, the cake goes tumbling off my car seat onto the floor (luckily I had already cut into it and was just bringing it to coworkers to snack on). Not one crumb fell out of this case and the handles stayed in place perfectly! Disaster avoided!

I also like the fact that the top of the cover is flat so you can stack things on it- like your turntable while decorating. Its nice to bring the cake up to eye level so you can see what youre working on while decorating. Some of the carriers Ive seen arent flat so you cant put anything on top of them.

While your at it, check out CSN Stores Health & Fitness Section! They have over 200 fitness dvds and they have The Firm Wave for under $60! And stay tuned fora possible CSN Stores giftcard giveaway coming soon on my blog!!!

I was impressed by the shipping speed and ease of use on their website and happily reccomend CSN Stores to my blog friends!

7.29.10: Its Friday Eve!

Last Night: was my last cake class! I used all those pansies I made a while back. Raspberry lemonade cake, raspberry lemon curd filling, and sugared lemon buttercream. Basket weave in buttercream and the pansies are fondant. ( Custom cakes by Lindsey Lu. Phoenix custom cakes. Specialty Cakes Phoenix. Arizona custom specialty cakes. Specialty cupcakes phoenix. Custom cupcakes Phoenix wedding cakes. )

I liked everything but the filling-won't do that again. Im still looking for good cake and filling recipes.

And I brought the entire cake to work to share w/ these people so I wouldnt be tempted to eat anymore than the 1 piece I had last night-which you all know was for quality control purposes :)

Wednesday's Workout:
Rest day :)

Today's Tip: Ditch Diet Soda (more from Self here)
-it can increase your risk of obesiety
-it can lower bone mineral density
-may increase the risk for kidney function decline
-aspartame side effects may include: headache, dizziness, mood changes and diarrhea
-soda intake displaces other healthy beverage intake (ie you drink soda and not water)

7.28.10: Repped To Lower Body Death.

Today: is my last cake class for this course. I made my cake last night- raspberry lemonade cake, raspberry lemon curd, and sugared lemon buttercream. Were learning basketweave so I will do that in white and then Im using my fondant pansies for decor. Hoping it turns out ok... ( Custom cakes by Lindsey Lu. Phoenix custom cakes.

Tuesday's Workout:
-Tonique Mat Workout
*total w/o time 60 min + stretch

Today's Review: Tonique Mat Workout
Sylwia Wiesenberg, 2010 *** (2.5 stars of 5)

This is a 67 minute all mat toning workout. The focus is on lower body and abs. She does one set that includes pushups but thats the only UB work. Sylwia leads alone on a small set. The production quality is not the best but its not that bad, and I never really notice that kind of stuff anyways. You wont need anything but possibly a mat for this workout.

The dvd is divided up into 4 segments: Warmup, On the side, On the back, on all fours. You can "play all" or select your segments- I dont *think* there is a mix and match option. The name of each move comes across the bottom of the screen at the beginning of each exercise.

This is a TOUGH workout! It is HIGH HIGH HIGH rep no weight floor work. I felt like my legs were going to fall off. But after being almost repped to death- I am not hardly sore today, so thats a bit dissapointing. I am more of a "heavy squat" kind of gal then a "spend 60 min, almost die, and not be sore" type of exerciser. She does virtually every type of LB floor work you can imagine and then some!

The ab work was pretty uninspiring for me. By the end of it I was definately feeling it but the first handful of ab exercisers are just crunch variations and didnt feel extordinarally effective. Of course after spending 15 or so min on nonstop ab movement- I was happy to not be "hitting it hard" for the duration.

I liked Sylwia as a lead but she probably wouldnt be a fav of mine. I dont like that she sometimes will say 10 more, but then theres really 30 more? I dont like being lied to ;) I think her other w/o's are a better fit for me since Im not really a mat work type of girl so I am excited to try those. If you are a mat/ floor work/ barre fan I think you will LOVE this w/o. She has a fairly strong Polish accent, but I didnt have any problems understanding her.

I would rate this an advanced w/o- just the sheer number of reps and seemingly nonstop number of (mostly) LB moves and a good amount of ab work, and because of the length and the fact that she jumps right into the work and really wastes no time in this w/o.

Today's Recipe: Asian Salad Dressing
-1 tsp peanut oil (or sesame oil)
-1 tsp soy sauce
-1 tsp seasoned rice vinegar
-1 tsp balsamic vinegar

mix and enjoy!

Today's Review: The Firm: Calorie Explosion
Alison Davis, 2010 ***** (5 of 5 stars)

This cardio dvd is divided up into four 11- 13 minute segments with seperate 4 min w/u and c/d. The dvd is programable but automatically adds the w/u & c/d to the beginning and end of your workout. Alison leads w/ Rebekah, and Emily as backgrounders. Emily shows some beginner modifications. The set is new- hardwood floors with nice blueish walls. I liked it :) You will need light dumbbells for all but the kickboxing segments.

This has got to be the toughest Firm Ive done in a long time! Definately more challenging than most/ all the Pinks. The segments are: athletic drills, explosive power moves, kickboxing, and high intensity moves. They are all challenging and she adds a lot of intensity to each segment. All the segments have little routines that build on each other and include power bursts or intense intervals. While there are plenty of plyos and impact-there are also quite a few lower impact but high intensity moves.

Some of the moves include: a spider plank twist (new to me), flying jacks, flying lunges with a bicep curl, some kettlebell inspired moves, picking up & putting down your dumbbells with a jump, flying heel taps, tuck jumps, jump roping, high intensity punches & kicks, and more! She does include recovery time but not enough so that you are wasting any time. This is a very efficient workout and Alison gets right down to business in each segment!

She does A LOT of new, fun, unique, and challenging moves in this one. I think this would be a great fit in just about any w/o collection because of its versatility-combine the segments for a kickbutt cardio w/o! Or use them for a day when you are time crunched but still want to burn some calories, or add it on to other w/o's. The moves are all athletic and easy to catch on to, not repetitive or boring at all.

I am really impressed with this one and hope this means the Firm will be amping up the intensity of their future releases! I will go ahead and say that this is an advanced w/o- I'm sure its no Insanity. Not a great fit for beginners but intermediates would be fine following Emily or just breaking when they need to. Alison does a stellar job of cueing and introducing new fun CHALLENGING moves in this one.

Clif Bar Shout Out & Future Giveaway!

I have been a long time lover of Clif Bars- seriously, these energy bars are delicious, soft, and chewy! They have yummmmy flavors like carrot cake, oatmeal raisin, blueberry crisp, chocolate chip peanut crunch, white chocolate macadamia nut, cool mint chocolate, chocolate brownie, black cherry almond, apricot, banana nut bread, and many many more choices! Clif Bars taste like dessert but without the guilt and with all the protein and nutrients your body needs!

Clif Bars are made using all organic ingredients-food grown organically without the use of toxic pesticides or synthetic chemicals. Clif Bars are free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and high fructose corn syrup. All this and also taste fabulous! Who could ask for more?

My personal favorite is and always has been Carrot Cake-it tastes as good as a piece of high fat, low nutrient carrot cake but with only 4 grams of fat and 240 calories AND with 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber- it makes a perfect snack between meals or for a quick breakfast on the go. Its filled with big pieces of white chocolate chunks, yummmmm. Carrot Cakes close runner ups are chocolate brownie and oatmeal raisin but seriously I have yet to find a Clif Bar I dont love!

You can find out more about Clif Bars and all their sister brands by checking out their website or by clicking their link on my right sidebar. While youre at it check out their facebook and twitter pages!

Thursday's Workout:
-Jari Love Get Ripped to the Core
*total w/o time 60 min + stretch

Today's Review: Get Ripped to the Core
Jari Love, 2006 *** (3 of 5stars)

This 60 min strength w/o features Jari working out w/ 3 background exercisers (2 females, 1 male) in a nice sunken set -above is a sitting area w/ a couch. Each exerciser shows a different modification most of the time. Jari uses dumbbells, one uses a barbell, and one uses a barbell plate (seems kinda awkward to me). You need some kind of weights and a step for this workout.

This is a low-weight high-rep strength workout that at times got my heart pumping nicely. I used 8-10 lb dumbbells. She is very keen on doing multi joint/ muscle moves because they burn more "fat & carbs." This is the 2nd time Ive done a Jari w/o and I liked this one better than the other I tried.

While I liked the strength work in this a few things bothered me. First, before each exercise set you get a screen with a list of the muscles being worked and a guy doing a demo-seems nice but it goes on for far too long and I cant imagine wanting or needing to see this every time you do the dvd. Then after that they go to Jari & crew but you have to listen to Jari talking about how the moves she is combining burned XXX amount of calories and carbs. And then the work finally begins. I personally dont need to hear any of that and its kindof irrelevant/ unnecessary because we all know we burn more calories by adding a squat to a bicep curl. And we all burn a different # of calories. Then after each set they do some stretching-more wasted time IMO.

Like I said I liked the actual strength work but could go w/out all the above. The work itself is solid though I had a bit of trouble w/ poundage and just ended up going w/ the weight Jari was using most of the time (usually 8 lb DBs). I did like that while Jari talked about caloric burn the screen showed what poundage each person was using. Its hard to know what weight to use for some of the compound moves.

The work includes a side squat- dip combo, push up -walking pushup combo, chest press w/ your hips off the ground, wide squat - upright row combo, side squat off the step- delt lift combo, basic step (on the bench) with an overhead press, triceps kickback (on all 4s) with a knee pull/ leg lift to work the abs, and you finish with ab work that includes plank, superman, and crunch variations.

Even w/ the negatives I posted above I think Ill keep this one and just take full advantage of the FF button on my remote to "get to the point." Even thinking I wouldnt I liked Jari as a lead. Her cueing is good and she has a nice demeanor. Its hard to rate this one because you just adjust your poundage accordingly but I wouldnt say it would be really appropriate for beginners. I would say solid intermediate done as is.

Today's Tip: Whiten Your Teeth with a Banana Peel
Don’t toss your banana peel! Use it to whiten your teeth with this great tip: rub the inside of the peel against your teeth for about a minute a day before brushing your teeth. The calcium and vitamin D are absorbed by the enamel, and the slight roughness of the skin helps remove stains from your teeth – making them stronger, healthier and brighter! More on Jessica Smith's Living in Thin Site.

Today's Review: Core Solutions
Alison Davis, 2007 **** (4 stars)

This is a 32 minute dvd that has three separate 10 to 11 minute ab/core workouts. Alison leads with 2 background exercisers (Rebecca & Sue Mi) Sue Mi shows the beginner modifications. The set is the TransFirmation set-white brick walls with foggy windows. You will need a set of light dumbbells for this dvd. The dvd is not mix and match so you cant program them all together.

Standing Abs: is first (11 minutes) and as the title suggests is all ab work done standing. This section was really fun as I love standing ab work . It included some twisting, side lunges, and pliet and reach, among other moves.

Functional Core: is 10 minutes and my favorite of the three sections! It is VERY unique from other ab workouts I have. You do a walking plank into a side plank, weighted crunches, weighted V-sits, V- sit while passing the dumbbell through your legs, etc. The two moves I enjoyed the most were: a needle thread while on all fours and an elevator plank-both tough!

Classic Abs: is an 11 minute more traditional ab workout that includes: a pec fly and leg extension, upper & lower crunch combos, some oblique work, a side leg lift sequence, and a backstroke move. This segment though more traditional, still contained some nice unique ab work.

I would rate this as intermediate. I like Alison as a lead and she cues well and has a nice demeanor in all her w/o's IMO.

YumNuts Naturals Shout Out & DISCOUNT CODE!

I am pleased to introduce a company that I am absolutely in love with YumNuts Naturals- Reading the name you know why I love them. Nuts and natural, need I say more! I recently had the opportunity to try the YumNuts Toasted Coconut cashews and oh my gosh-SOOOOO good. DH loves them too (yes I hid them from him, you know men have a hard time finding things in the kitchen so I'm in luck). I will defiantly be ordering more so I can share them with DH as these are the perfect snack for him so he can put down the potato chips and pick up some healthy, natural cashews.

The toasted coconut flavor is subtle at first and gets more delicious as you chew. I LOVE LOVE LOVE coconut so these were the ultimate treat for me!

The main reason I love YumNuts (besides their delicious nuts) is because they don't use added oils, artificial flavors, and aren't cooked in peanut oils (they re cashews after all- I don't want to taste peanuts in my cashews!). But also because they are a SMALL company ran by 3 men who created yumnuts with a passion for not only cashews but also for healthy REAL food.

I'm always excited to find natural foods without a bunch of faux food chemical additives that we all know are not good for us. And when I find a natural healthy snack that aslo tastes delicious well- I'm sold!

I can not wait to try their other flavors:

Spicy Cajun

Honey

Chocolate (YUM!)

Chili Lime (next on my list)

Sea Salt

YumNuts Naturals also offers a four pack Variety Pack and can be purchased on YumNuts.com and on amazon.com.
