When I was trying to get tight and toned arms I came across many workout programs and methods that failed. Instead of leaving me with sleek, sexy arms, they left me with batwings that couldn’t take me anywhere but a world of frustration.

I found various training methods that worked - following a tempo and lowering the reps on each exercise – making these two small changes to my workouts helped me see progress that I was desperate to see. Read the full story

Get a tight toned butt in time for shorts season. Add this move to your workout and you’ll be feeling a burn in all the right places – making sure that your glutes, hamstrings, and quads look sleek and sexy no matter what you are wearing.

To make this move more challenging add weight – hold dumbbells in either hand – challenging your muscles to work a bit harder and therefore burning just a bit more fat. This will in turn increase your weight loss results.

I sit in Barnes and Nobles as I write this – my second stop of the day to get Wi-fi. No I don’t need to be connected EVERY day but when you haven’t had power or technology of any sort for 4 days – could be 5 – the urge to be connected to the ‘real’ world and your usual routines becomes necessary.

I had to share my workout from two days ago, because I’m STILL feeling the effects two days later (Thank You D.O.M.S!) plus its a great workout to help you get lean legs and a tight toned butt. (And who isn’t working towards that?)

I wrote about my last shoulder/leg workout a few weeks ago – it was an awesome workout, but it’d been a few weeks of it and I was getting bored, so it was time to change it up. Changing my workout was definitely beneficial as I felt the burn and feeling the results of the change – new muscles are being worked that weren’t necessarily targeted in my last workout.

Legs and shoulders are easily my favorite training day – I think because I can really feel the burn and tight toned legs really show dedication to your workout, plus who doesn’t love sexy shoulders?!? Another reason – its summer and I love feeling comfortable wearing shorts!

Here’s the workout below:
