The -10 lbs club

I have the opportunity to live out my passion on a daily basis. I'm able to help others achieve their fitness goals. Nothing feels better than when a client makes progress. This morning 2 of my clients- Donna and Debbie that I work with 2x/week in Debbie's home gym have reached the -10 lb mark!

Now, let me say, these ladies looked great before I started working with them. Their BMI was not unhealthy. Donna stands 5'5 and is down to 128 lbs! Debbie is 5'6 and is down to 141 with a goal weight of 135...not too far off; we'll be there soon enough.

Alice Anne is a client that I program monthly. In 6 weeks she has lost 10 lbs as well! Talk about holding yourself accountable this mother of 2 has put in the necessary hard work to get in her daily workouts and eat healthy regular meals consistently without a single complaint! Alice Anne is prepping for her first figure competition. We are aiming for a more defined and cut physique to have her stage ready for her first show come August. She's working hard and looking fabulous!

Nancy just started my nutrition and training program 3 weeks ago. Already she is down 6 lbs- well on her way to her join the ranks of the -10 lbs club. Nancy is proof that small changes in your lifestyle can make a huge difference since she only works out 3x/week and still eats out on the weekends.

I'm so proud of all of my clients! Every day is rewarding and I'm grateful to be able to work with such amazing and determined people. My goal is to inspire them, but honestly they inspire me.

2 chairs + Mop + Effort= SEXY BACK

Nothing's hotter this spring than a toned and defined back for backless dresses and tanks. Forget about taking 50 pounds off the assisted pull up machine at the gym to hoist yourself up; I bet you could lift your own bodyweight if you tried, at least at 45 degree angle for starters.

Position 2 chairs about 3-4 feet apart and place a mop, broom or sturdy bar on top. Position yourself on the floor beneath the bar face up and grasp the handles a bit wider than shoulder width a part. Lead with your chest as you pull yourself up. Pause at the top for about 1 second, slowly lower back down and repeat.

Try to complete 1-3 sets of 10-15 reps and work your way up to 2-4 sets of 20 or even 50 reps! Challenge yourself and always remember to maintain proper form!
