Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

Best of Fitness Blender: Upper Body Workouts


Continuing in the series of some of my favorite Fitness Blender.com workouts, here are some upper body workouts.  All use free weights and they vary in length.

Upper Body Strength and Cardio Workout - Upper Body Superset Workout  (27 minutes.  This one is a great mix of supersets and cardio in between.  Free weights required)

Upper Body Tabata Workout – Intense 60 Minute Back, Shoulders, and Arms Workout  (60 minutes.  This one will have your arms and back feeling like jelly afterward.  Definitely plan on a light or rest day the next day!  Free weights required.  Can be modified down to lower impact with a little imagination.)

Fit is Better than Skinny – Upper Body Strength & Cardio Training Workout  (37 minutes.  A good strength workout with tabata style cardio intervals intermingled.  Modify cardio if necessary.)

Lean Arms Workout – Rhomboids, Shoulders, Bicep, Tricep, and Chest  (20 minutes.  Dumbbells of varying weights required.

Cannonball Shoulders Workout – Deltoid Exercises to get Bigger Shoulders (14 minutes.  I always need to work on this area and it's great to build up the shoulders for outdoor summer sports!)

If these workouts aren't for you, you can peruse Fitness Blender.com to see what is more your speed.

(I am in no way affiliated with Fitness Blender, I'm just blogging about them because we use their awesome workouts all the time and in their support us section they encourage word of mouth to keep it free.)
