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...

Free and fun fitness? Yes please!

Well we're into the first few weeks of the new year.  Have your holiday and college football food comas subsided yet?  Your feeds have probably been inundated with posts about New Years Resolutions, offers from gyms and all that jazz.  I don't know about you guys but I'm not much for resolutions because it ends up being "here are a list of things I will not do this year."  Offers from gyms aren't appealing because I don't need to pay when there are plenty of at home DVD's and even websites and YouTube channels that provide free workouts.  Fitness doesn't have to cost a thing or require a declaration...just a commitment to yourself.



I like to shake things up from time to time to get the bod out of its usual habits.  I'm always on the lookout for online workouts to ChromeCast to the dungeon workout space.  Some of you may remember the interview I did with celebrity trainer Mike Donavanik.  We love his DVD's because they're a good mix of cardio and strength training and he's pretty high energy.

Mike has a YouTube channel now that you can get some great free mix and match workouts!  Whether you just have time for 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes, he's got some great booty kickin', ab rippin' choices.  Most videos contain a modification for beginners or those with limitations they need to consider.  Because Mike likes to keep things fun and silly, the workouts go by quickly.  This year he's even going to add some fun vlog features that will let you in on the man behind the fitness instructor.  Gotta love that!

From workouts to fitness Q&A's to Fit Tips to random stuff that will make you laugh, Mike's YouTube channel is worth checking out!

    I really like that more and more options for workouts are showing up on YouTube and if you couple that with the Chromecast it makes it really easy to pull them up on the TV and keep the workout variety going.

    Seems like a fun guy with good energy! I don't do New Year's Resolutions either, probably because I consider my "annual" year to be birthday to birthday. I am working on an Action Plan though. =o)
