If you follow my workouts you know I’m doing the workout style taught by Jenny H. at her Phat Camps. By the way, if you have the means and the interest you should go because it is the best money you will ever spend on your fitness. This month she is featured in Oxygen Magazine and it shows the CRAZY workout style that I do and some of my clients are doing. The one thing I love that she says in the article is that she trains like an athlete. Just sends chills down my spine! I think that is incredible and that she is helping so many women to think of themselves as athletes and to train like one. She’ll probably never know the impact she’s had on my life, but I hope to pass on her knowledge and belief that we (women) can do and be whatever we want to be.
For my clients who read this and do the dreaded bearcrawl and spiderwalk, there’s great pictures in the magazine on how to do it. For the rest of you who just read the blog and get tips and pointers, reading that article will give you a good feel about how to do the workouts I do everyday.
On with the show…today was Arms with a client/friend of mine. We busted a nice arm workout for all of you. Unfortunately for her, push-up challenge got mixed in with the workout. 
I also didn’t get to the Turbo Jam. Today was terribly busy so I counted my arm workout as everything. I did jog to a neighbor’s house twice today rather than drive (5 min. each way) and I cooked for three straight hours for my mom. I’ll post more about that in a separate thread tomorrow. Oh, I also took a 10 min. walk with client/friend after arms. Not a lot of cardio but it’s movement and that’s what I preach. On the days you can’t get it all in you get what you can in and you love yourself for it!

That’s a funny comment about the Fiber One… I’m in the same boat on the Kashi High Protein cereal. I love that stuff. Probably a little too much.

What is the fiber one concoction?
Comment by amy — February 21, 2007 @ 5:24 pm
3/4 cup of Fiber One, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, heat this for thirty seconds in the microwave, stir, and then pour 1/2 cup milk in there. OMG…tastes sort of like a cross between a peanut butter cookie and peanut butter Capn Crunch. Probably about four points if you do points, but it is full of fiber, some protein, a little dairy so it’s a good treat that gives you some decent benefit.
