So, what I found that I need is accountability and a community of people to support me, and help hold me accountable. I had this for a while, but drifted away because I “didn’t have the money”. Now looking back, I made a huge mistake.

I have now re-joined Club FYM (Fit Yummy Mummy). This is a site full of community, accountability, and loaded with more information than I could ever need to be successful.

Now, Club FYM is a wonderful thing to join, but sorry guys, it is for ladies only

If you are a male, and are looking for something just like what I mentioned, check out Turbulence Training. This site has all of the great things that Club FYM has, but is for men and women.

So, will you join me in changing your life in 2011??  What do you have to lose?

Ladies, check out Club FYM

Ladies or Men, check out Turbulence Training

If you want…

- strong, rock-hard abs
- a better, sexier butt
- lean, sculpted arms

Then you have to try kettlebell swings.

This exercise forces your abs to work as hard as crunches, while working your glutes (aka your butt!), and sharpening up your upper arms and shoulders. All those beautiful body benefits in one single move.

Throw in renegade rows, tactical lunges, front squats, and presses, and you’ve got a killer kettlebell program that you can do in the comfort of your own home with a single piece of exercise equipment.

And when you’re done, just put it in the closet. Try doing that with a treadmill!

I can’t recommend kettlebell workouts enough if you want to get bodysculpting results in 10-20 minutes per day (or if you want a longer workout, 30 minutes is fine too).

And now there’s the perfect fat burning kettlebell workout program from Turbulence Training called the Kettlebell Revolution.

What is a kettlebell and what is the big deal with kettlebell workouts anyway?

A kettlebell is looks like a cannon ball with a handle and is normally made from cast iron.  Kettlebell workouts are intended to increase strength, endurance, agility and balance, challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular system with dynamic, total-body movements.  Kettlebells make it easier to do get the most out of each exercise that you do in your workouts.

Some of the common things to do with the kettlebell are Kettlebell Swings, Kettlebell Snatch, Kettlebell Jerk, and the Kettlebell Squat Thrust.

Check out this video from Craig Ballentyne to see some of the workouts in motion.

Kettlebell workouts are great for all kinds of people because they come in different weights, just like dumbbells, and are easily stored to use at home.

If you think that I am crazy, check out this story about Maria who has 5 kids.  Yes, 5 kids!! This will prove that it is possibly to lose belly fat!!

This is a story from Holly Rigsby, creator of Fit Yummy Mummy.

You Can’t Fool This Fit Mom Of Five

Maria – a mom of five – continues to achieve fat loss results!
A recent trip to a “nutrition bar” only confirms the path that she is on.

“Jennifer (fellow FYMer) and I got these coupons to a new “nutrition” bar in our area. It was for a free smoothie, tea, and body analysis. So we thought we would go and check it out.

Well, when we arrived, I noticed everything was from Herbalife. Which I have never been impressed with their products but we stayed and talked to the owner anyway. So she chatted with us and had us fill out a survey and then offered us our free tea drink which she stated would make our bodies burn 160 calories just for drinking it.

I asked her how it did that, and she said “I don’t know it just does”. We declined the tea and the “healthy” smoothie because they were made with the Herbalife protein powder (full of sugar), pudding mix, and sugar-free syrups.

Then the owner stated she had lost 10 pounds in one month from drinking these smoothies twice a day and eating a colorful dinner. I asked her if her body fat percentage had changed at all (since she had the fancy testing machine) but she hadn’t retested yet. So we proceeded to get our body analysis done.

Drumroll please…….

I was expecting mine to be around 25% but it came back at 20%! I was shocked. I guess I see myself differently in the mirror. Jennifer’s was 17%!! We were surprised but very happy.

It was quite funny because the owner of the “nutrition” bar was surprised we each had 5 kids and that we looked so good.

She then said, and I quote: ” I am going to start doing what you guys do! You guys look great” I really wanted to tell her to stop taking all these so called healthy supplements and shakes and just start eating supportively but I couldn’t do it.

So Jennifer and I walked out of there feeling pretty good about ourselves and our way of life.

We laughed at the fact that the owner and pusher of these supplements was envying the way we looked. We noticed the bodies of all the employees and the owner’s in there and compared them to Holly’s body and were glad that we were listening to Holly who obviously knows what she is talking about. Just look at her!!! So thanks Holly, you are the bomb!!”

~ Maria Simpson, busy mom to 5 wonderful children (oldest is 11 and my baby just turned 2) and proud Fit Yummy Mummy

“I am so thankful I found Holly and Fit Yummy Mummy. I was at a point where I was feeling so fat and down on myself. I was faithfully working out 5 days a week running and doing exercise videos but nothing was changing. I was so frustrated. Then I found Fit Yummy Mummy! I knew it was the answer I was searching for.

I started right away. It was hard for me, but I quit running and focused on following the Fit Yummy Mummy plan to the letter. Almost instantly I started noticing results. I had energy through the roof and my clothes were getting looser.

I still found that runner’s high during intervals. I had great success!! I was even chosen as a finalist in the first transformation challenge held at ClubFYM!”

The answer is not just doing ab exercises, but rather working your entire body!  Here is news that most people do not know.  Ready?  YOU do NOT get to pick were you lose fat first.  Usually, the place that bothers you the most, like your belly fat, will be the last thing to go!

This does not mean that you will not lose there, but it will probably be the last thing that you are totally pleased with.

In order to burn belly fat, you have to burn fat ALL OVER your body.  This invloves an entire body workout!  If you are not currently doing a total body workout, check out Turbulence Training or Fit Yummy Mummy.  Theses are programs that I have done, and still do, and have had life changing results!

So, quit wasting your time doing crunches and laying on the ab bench!  You will NEVER get the results that you are looking for by doing this!

Get up and start working your entire body today!

If you ask random people, you will get so many different answers.  Also, if you take some time to observe people at the gym, you will get an idea of what people think it will take to loose their belly’s too.

But is it working?  What does it really take?

Every day when I go to the gym to workout, I see women on the ab bench, running for almost an hour on the treadmill, holding dumbbells and leaning from side to side, using the AB machines.  I could go on forever!  Is this what it will take?  Can you pick where you want to lose fat and just work that spot?

Let me ask you a question.  Have you ever seen someone that has flabby arms, saddle bags, a big butt, and six pack abs?  I don’t think so!  That should answer the question right there, you can NOT pick where you want to lose weight, and just work that spot!

There are steps that you need to take to lose your belly fat, and that will include exercising your entire body!  You need to be on a strict workout plan that will give you a total body workout.  I have personally lost belly fat, and I am almost where I would like to be, and have not used an ab bench one time!  I work my entire body, and lift weights in those workouts.

Here is my next tip about lifting weights, and this one is geared toward women because I know men don’t have a problem with this.  Don’t be afraid to lift heavy weights!  You will not get bulky unless you are injecting something into your body that would make you build muscle like a man.  I am 5’0″ and I go for the heavy dumbbells.  Why is it that women that are double my size go for the 5 pound dumbbells?  Because they have been told to life light so they don’t get bulky! Trust me, you won’t!

The next step to burn belly fat is your diet.  What you put into your body will affect what your body will look like from the outside.  You need to make sure that you are educated about what to eat and when to eat it.  Precision Nutrition is a great program that will help you learn everything about your nutrition.  Once you change what you are eating, along with your full body workouts, you will begin to see your belly shrink!

Another thing that will help you lose your belly fat is doing cardio on the days in between your lifting days.  Now, I am not just talking about any kind of cardio workout.  I am talking about high intensity interval training.  Intervals help you to burn more fat, and your body will keep burning that fat for up to 48 hours after your workout.

If you do these things, you will find that this is the best way to burn belly fat!  ***Caution*** Not only will you lose belly fat, but be prepared to lose fat all over your body!

You are going to love your new look!

There are many different things that you can do to lose weight with no equipment, and no weights!  If you are hoping to lose weight and get into shape, but have no time to go to a gym, and no equipment at home, please do not think that there is no hope for you.  It is possible!

It helps to have a bodyweight program to follow, but you can also create your own as well.  There are programs available that will work you through different body weight workouts that are specifically designed to help you sculpt your body.

One thing that I like to do is called a body weight circuit.  This can be a nice change instead of an interval.  It is a combo of things like squats, lunges, push up’s, jumping jacks, and other things that you don’t need weights for.
