Music I Like To Exercise To

I love to dance and this is one way to get me off my butt !!!
I have started using our Roku (see link on the side to order your own) and then pulling up Pandora - I make an exercise list then after I'm finished I decided to put it on youtube for future reference. I want to see if my minutes and intensity increase.
I love all kinds of music!

Oh The Memories!!

I was going through my stack of VHS tapes and putting the ones of my daughters on DVD's.

It has been a heartwarming experience as I see and remember just how close my girls were.

Anyway I wanted to share some of the songs the church we attended at the time, sang during youth worship. Our daughters, Lena and Amanda Hammes (now married so Lena Stephenson and Amanda Tucker aka Moonda) would be part of the worship team.

Enjoy and worship the Lord!

Workout Plan for Turbo Jam Beginners

I started getting off my butt when I found Turbo Jam and it has made an amazing difference. I now have  Body Gospel and for Christmas my husband bought me Rockin Body (which I started the New Year with) I love it!!

Anyway I have had several requests for the workout schedule for Turbo Jam. So I'm putting it on my blog so people can use the link and share when others ask them where to find it.

I have some suggestions at the end that did not come with their plan. I'm 57 years young and it worked for me!! Still working on limbering up but the cardio dancing - woo hoo - love it.

Turbo Jam Schedule

Week 1 

Monday - Learn & Burn 

Tuesday - Learn & Burn 

Wednesday - 20 Minute 

Thursday - 20 Minute 

Friday - Rest 

Saturday - Rest 

Sunday - Rest 

Week 2 

Monday - 20 Minute 

Tuesday - 20 Minute & Ab Jam 

Wednesday - Cardio Party 

Thursday - 20 Minute & Ab Jam 

Friday - 20 Minute

Week 3 

Monday - 20 Minute & Ab Jam 

Tuesday - Cardio Party 

Wednesday - Turbo Sculpt & Ab Jam 

Thursday - Cardio Party 

Friday - 20 Minute & Ab Jam 

Saturday - Rest

Week 4 

Monday - Cardio Party 

Tuesday - Turbo Sculpt & Ab Jam 

Wednesday - 20 Minute 

Thursday - Cardio Party 

Friday - Turbo Sculpt & Ab Jam 

Saturday - Rest 

Sunday - Rest 

I recommend walking on the days they call for rest, even if it's only for 5 minutes to start (depends on where you are at in conditioning) work up to 30 minutes or more by week 4. 

I found it kept my body from getting stiff and my knees did not hurt.

I also recommend doing weights and/or the Turbo Sculpt three times a week - when you are ready. I like to do Turbo Sculpt and take a walk later in the evening.

Make sure you have water available and don't hesitate to stop and rest when you need to, it's okay! You will do more and more with each passing day. 

Hope this helps!!

Blessings on your journey to a healthier you!!

It's That Time of Year Again Food Everywhere!

The holiday's are fast approaching and you know what that means - 

lot's of places to go, not enough time to cook right and even better--

families get together and have all that once a year yummy food! 

So don't wait for New Years to begin that healthy eating, exercise resolution. 

Start NOW so you can enjoy some of that yummy food guilt free.

I would start with the shake - 30 day money back guarantee, but you ask

 anyone that knew me a year ago - the change has been amazing.

 No caffeine jitters just good energy and cravings for sweets - GONE!

for my body and I will share all I've been through if it will help you.

YOU have to desire to be healthy, no one will get you there, no magic pills,

 no magic exercise - it's YOU.....but these are some aids that will

make it fun and help!

Have an awesome week!!!!

A Blessed and Wonderful Day

On October 2nd, our daughter, Lena Hammes, married Cameron Stephenson.

Welcome to the family, son!!

Both of our daughters are married now but it seems like only yesterday my husband an I held them in our arms as little babies. When I would watch them sleep and pray over them.

I'm grateful to God for all the memories. We had a wonderful time growing up together  lol

They taught me alot as a stay at home - homeschooling mom.

And their excitement as they waited for their daddy to get home from work - they knew when he

pulled in the drive and would run to the door yelling....daddy daddy!!

Our daughters Lena and Amanda will forever hold our hearts!

Exercise Benefits

One of the definitions of 'benefit' is -  something that promotes well-being.

Here are a few benefits of exercising.

•        reduce stress     
•        relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety
•        boost your mood
•        help you sleep better
•        increase bone density
•        strengthen your heart and lungs

I have been exercising for 5 months and have received the benefits listed above.

In three short months I went from gasping for breath when I walked up ONE flight of stairs to going up FIVE flights.
We walked around, talked and we went back down the stairs and then I stopped and said to my husband 'Wow, do you realize what I just did.' It was a time of celebration when we realized how far I had come!

            Now I'm helping other
people on their journey to a healthier life as I continue on mine.

I am 56 years 'young' and I feel like I'm 40 again. One of these days I will have the flexibility to put I feel like '30'  !!  My point.....I feel energetic and love meeting each new day with all that needs to be accomplished.

You can do this too! But you have to START and keep moving forward. You need to find a program that calls you, makes you want to get up and do it. For me it has to have high energy dance music. Other people prefer a weight routine with minimal music. Whatever you need, it's out there!
