Hey friends, Source:  American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Are you trending? Check me out 1. Wearable Technology (I have a Heart Rate Monitor and presently saving for a Fitbit Flex) 2. Body Weight Training (Like push ups, lunges, squats etc. It's what I do more times because I don't have many of the exercise equipment available.) 3. High Intensity Interval Training (Most of my workout videos incorporates interval training.  My favorite fitness trainers like Shaun T, Jillian Michaels and Tony Horton bares HIIT in all it's glory) 4. Strength Training (ST is my favorite type of exercise ever because my heart beat rises slowly and stays within a range at a point, I always love the feeling) 5. Personal Training (I have a personal trainer, yes I do have one. He is more of a friend than a trainer and because of that I get too muck slack, he won't just shout at me.) 6.

Since I am recuperating, I have been looking for an exercise that would be mild with me and enough to work me and I think this is just the bomb. The program has 3 versions i.e. ranging from beginners' steps, intermediate and advanced. I am starting today and will love to have an "accountabilibuddy" (new diction for an accountability buddy) - partner in workout - I wouldn't mind a virtual buddy either. Leslie Sansone can be a boring instructor to me but I need her on days as this when I can't cope with a Shaun T or a Billy Blanks high impact exercise.

How I had missed the videos and all the plans to lose weight in a healthy way, the body has it's way of declining (today makes 28 days s
