CONGRATULATIONS to all of the women who are with child out there!

Here is a ½-hour Lauren Hefez routine that you can do throughout your pregnancy

Please get the green light from your OB-GYN or Midwife on reasonable workout levels before and after you give birth.

Rules of Thumb: If you’re able to engage in physical activity, please put yourself & your baby(ies) 1st …

• Lamaze classes to prep for child birth is #1!!!
• Light & easy leg work (i.e., walking) would be best
• Limit lifting with your arms (body weight or light)
• NO core ~ just maintain back posture & balance

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

The opening quote was my Hump Day Affirmation for sure!

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?
