Movie Monday: Big and Small Screen

Tomorrow is the Big Day, as my family and take off to my Dissertation Defense!

Meanwhile, we actually caught three films on DVD during THANKSgiving weekend:

• Aloha
• Ricki and the Flash
• The Age of Adeline

Initially, I only was interested in Aloha, mainly for the Air Force (not to mention Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone who I especially liked as Gwen Stacy from The Amazing Spider-Man, and Rachel McAdams from The Notebook that we watched on our first Movie Night with my parents as empty nesters a decade ago) ~ but I ended up sticking around with my folks for the rest to make the most out of our time together (and ended up getting hair inspiration from the other two movies ~ especially from Blake Lively as Adeline, a.k.a. Amanda and Jenny).

After I present my sports study, these are the *NEW* football flicks that I must catch that are relevant to my research:

• My All American ~ recently released last month’s Friday, the 13th

• Concussion ~ coming this CHRISTmas!

Workout Wednesday: POP ’em Abs

Cassey Ho knows how to make fast fab abs, but this Dispo must melt the flab!

Even though I’ve scored a strong core, how can I show it off when the muscles may lay beneath fat layers?

Now I have both Blogilates official DVDs: the Original & Flat Abs Fast!

As I’ve done many techniques to tone up my tummy and slim those obliques, I’ve added this newest DVD to my mix:

 

I swear: I have more than enough exercise moves from Blogilates to last me all year ~ I must make the time to do them!

Cassey Ho took this ab blast to the beach!

This packaged deal promotes 3 10-min. routines:

• Total core
• Lower back
• Obliques

This *oGorgeous* face is *POPpin’* over the place

• the ☼beach☼
• †wedding† prep
• ♥V-Day♥ hype
• NO-flab collab
• MORE fab ✌collabs✌

(: POP Pilates for miles & smiles 🙂

Motivational Movie Mon: GT is for …

Great Teacher!

GTO reminds me of myself: He cares about his students & is a biker!

Before I began teaching at the college level, my 🇺🇸Airman✈️ buddy, who was stationed in 🐎Texas🏇🏽 and 🌺Cali🌴 when I lived in both, introduced me to anime Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)

Watch with humor …

So I’ve been going by Great Teacher Dispo ever since!

Warning: Clever wit is needed for this content!

Great timing to pop in these DVDs as the 🍎school🎓 year approaches!

Workout Wednesday: Blogilates Cheer All Year!

Since I took sabbatical from full-time teaching for my Ph.D., I sculpted my physique through the POP Pilates Craze …

I started my Blogilates lifestyle out with the 🎬YouTube🎥 videos and DVD💽 plus app, then 💸shopped💳 the original oGorgeous store🎽, plus now have the 📒book📕 ~ fresh off the presses!

 

So there’s always a reason for the season to stay in shape whatever the weather! 🌾🌅🍂❄️

Here’s Cassey Ho‘s Total Bod Spring Routine:

Workout Wednesday: Mickey D’s DVDs

My New Year’s Resolution to declutter has worked wonders! Who would’ve thought that through clearing the clutter, that I’d come across these unopened discs from a decade ago that I could use?

When I worked at my local gym, I ate healthy most of the time (YOLOs were splurge days back then), even when it came to fast food. McDonald’s offered healthy Happy Meals complete with workout DVDs, so I managed to collect all 4.

From Friday, January 2nd, through Monday, January 4th, I did the YourselfFitness (TM) sequence, as follows:

Flexible Friday: (1) Yoga
Slim-Down Saturday: (2) 💗Cardio💓
Fun Day 🌅Sunday: (3) Core
🔫 Gun Show Monday: (4) Strength💪

These remind me of modern-day apps and videos that show your progress on the screen, but what I like about these was that technology was right on point with the many options to select, so the routine wasn’t always the same every time you popped in the DVD.

1. First, you could pick which language to follow.

1. Then you could choose your challenge level.

1. You also could opt for what you want to get out of it.

Optional equipment: step-bench for cardio

* stability ball for core

* hand weights for strength

As my GODson would sing when he was a baby:

♪Ba-pa-ba-pa-ba♪ … ♫I’m lovin’ it♫

Well, how about WOVin’ it, as in Workout Video-in’ it?
