We are all victims of emotional eating. Its the simplest form of self-sabotage that will derail any flat stomach diet before you can finish your first ho-ho, brownie, or slice of pizza.

Its time to put a stop to emotional eating. Its time to stop letting life get in our way and eating because we had a bad day, a great day or a so-so day.  Its time to overcome our moments of weakness and make sure that no matter how delicious that plate of cookies look – you have bigger and better places to go – and those cookies will not help you get there.

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:

If you have any questions about the exercises let me know – I’d be happy to explain them further. If you’re looking for a new leg workout – I definitely recommend this one – my legs and glutes are STILL feeling the burn two days later!

What’s your favorite leg exercise? Leave a comment below and let me know – I’d love to know!

It’s the Memorial Day weekend – the sun has FINALLY come out and the temperature has risen to make it ‘beach weather’. People are trying to finish up their Friday and head home or to wherever their weekend festivities will take place. This weekend marks the beginning of “Beach Season”, an unofficial beginning to summer.  It is those two words that send many people flocking to the beach to show off their ‘new and improved’ summer bodies (complete with flat abs and tight toned legs),  and sends many others running to the gym to lose those 5 extra pounds before they too put on their bathing suit and head to the beach.

But just because it’s the beginning of ‘beach season’ doesn’t mean that it’s the end of your chances of ever fitting into that bathing suit and turning heads at the beach. These three moves will help you burn off those last few pounds to give you flat abs, and tight toned legs that will help you be noticed this ‘beach season’.

Ladies, short season is just around the corner which means its time to get your legs toned and ready! Personally, seeing a woman with lean legs is one of my favorite things. I don’t mean to sound like a guy, but for me toned legs represent dedication and hard work, unless of course this person is just genetically programmed to have HOT legs.

However, since many of us are not programmed that way we have to spend our time in the gym making sure are legs are ready for short season.

So I’ve shared with you one of my favorite leg workouts to get you those lean legs in time for summer.

(You can do these exercises as a workout one day or separate the exercises into your workouts throughout the week – depending on how you train).

PS – The BEST part of a leg workout – not being able to walk down the stairs the next day or sit down comfortably! Would you agree? How’d you feel after THIS workout?
