Total Fitness - Spark People 28 Day Bootcamp DVD Review & Givewaway Ends 2/4/12 at 7 PM EST

Total Fitness DVD's sent me the Spark People 28 Day Bootcamp DVD to review and they have also offered one to giveaway.  This workout is fairly intense.  It's fun and a great workout.  I felt amazing after completing the workout.  I can't wait to pop it in and do it again.  I am basically still a beginner but the more I do the workout the more intense I will be able to make it.  I love the fact that there are different levels all in the same DVD.  I just do what I am able and then work my way up to the more advanced moves.

Here's some information about the DVD from the Total Fitness DVD website:

Nutrisystem Week 3 Update - 8 Pounds Lost #NSNation

Today is a good day.  I feel amazing.  I am full of energy.  Today is the first day of week four.  I weighed in this morning and I am down a total of eight pounds.  That's three more pounds for week three.  So week one was a loss of three pounds, week two was two pounds lost and week three is down three more pounds.  I am so proud of myself.  I am working the plan and the plan is working for me.  Nutrisystem is a wonderful way to lose weight and start to feel good about the choices you make for your life again. 

I haven't ever done anything like Nutrisystem before.  I have been overweight almost my entire life.  I can't think of a time when I didn't feel like I was bigger than everyone else.  I am really enjoying my new active lifestyle.  I jump out of bed in the morning and do an exercise DVD.  Then I go to work.  At work I have my planned meals and I am not hungry between meals.  It seems that on Nutrisystem I am eating most of the time.  There are so many things to eat each day on the Nutrisystem plan.

Nutrisystem sends you the breakfast, protein shake, lunch, dinner and dessert.  On top of that you add four servings of vegetables a day and two power fuels and two smart carbs each day.  Their website gives you a list of the smart carbs and the power fuels.  I have been using non-fat yogurt and string cheese for my power fuels, but the list is long and I may change it up.  My smart carbs tend to be fruit.  As you can see you get to eat a lot of food.  It actually seems as though I am eating more but they are lower calories foods than I was choosing to eat before.

I wrote an article for Weight Loss Triumph where I review my year-long Nutrisystem journey: http://www.weightlosstriumph.com/nutrisystem-healthy-meals-delivered-to-your-door.html

This is a lifestyle change and not a diet.  I am fairly sure that after three weeks it has become habit for me to eat this way and to exercise daily.  Yesterday, at work, my boss brought in hot donuts and I resisted the urge to have one even though they were on my file cabinet all day.  I could smell them and I didn't have one like I would have in the past.  I am very proud of myself.  You can do this too, the hardest part is making up your mind to live a healthier lifestyle.

Want to lose weight and get healthy on Nutrisystem? Join today by calling 1-888-853-4689 or by visiting http://www.nutrisystem.com/nsblog.

FTC Disclosure: Nutrisystem is providing their program to me at no charge in exchange for my participation in the program and review of the program.

Anchor Bay Entertainment - 10 MINUTE SOLUTION: 5 DAY GET FIT MIX Review & Giveaway

Anchor Bay Entertainment sent me some dvds to review.  The first one that I tried was the 10 Minute Solution: 5 Day Get Fit Mix.  I did this workout and I loved every minute of it.  I was sweating in the first few minutes.  Everyone claims they don't have time to work out.  The 10 minute solution is perfect for those of us who are limited on time.  I did three of the workouts in a row and then the other two the next day.  I will keep this dvd close to use it again.

No time to exercise? We have the solution for you—the 10 Minute Solution! Everyone can find at least ten minutes in their day, and we’ve developed a well-rounded plan that is made up of 5, highly effective 10-minute workouts that will train your ENTIRE body—without spending hours in the gym! You can do one workout per day and get 5 days worth of amazing cross training. You can also use the mix and match feature to create your own favorite combination of the workouts. Or you can choose to do the routines all together and really kick your workout into high gear! CARDIO KICKBOXING In this cardio kickboxing segment, you will burn up the calories, knockout the fat, and achieve a sleek looking physique. FAT BLASTING INTERVALS This workout gives you the best of both worlds with intervals of cardio and strength training. These intervals are one of the fastest ways to transform your body and see results quickly. POWER YOGA It’s important to take time to connect with your body and keep your body balanced with flexibility training. Using this yoga flow you will become more agile and more flexible. BELLY FAT BURNER This series of belly blasting exercises will work the 6-pack, strengthen the lower back and zap away any love handles. Consider it a short-cut to the best abs you’ve ever had! LEAN BODY SCULPT Make the most of every minute with compound moves that work your upper and lower body at the same time. This type of sculpting leads to leaner bodies because it increases muscle mass which can raise your metabolic rate and melt away unwanted fat.

I really feel great after this workout.  It was hard for me.  I am just a beginner but I did what I could and I know that each time I do the workouts I will improve.  The belly fat burner is really challenging as well as the fat blasting intervals.  The power yoga and cardio kickboxing are fun and a challenge as well.  If you don't have much time you could do one of these workouts a day and switch them up each day to have a 5 day workout mixture that is sure to tighten and tone your body.

If you would like to win your very own copy of this dvd from Anchor Bay Entertainment, you can enter the giveaway below.  I really recommend this to anyone looking to get into shape.
