Fit for Office? Election 2012 Energizer Workout!

While I actually HATE politics, I do LOVE my country!  Election Day always gives me a natural feeling of US pride, gratefulness for my rights and appreciation of our history.  Here’s the workout I did this morning to build on the natural energy that permeates our nation on this awesome day.  Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent, etc. we are all HUMAN and our HEALTH is a universal need.  So while you’re getting excited (or jaded) by this year’s election, do your body and mind some good by knocking out my 30 min “Election Energizer” workout.  Go hard, get a good sweat and Viva USA!

P.S.  Much love to all of my international followers as well 😉

Brit’s Booty Builder

The good Lord didn’t see it fit to bless Brit with a booty…but it’s all good!

So yesterday I was chatting with one of my male buddies who asked, “Brit, why are you making booty BURN workouts? I think you should make booty BUILD workouts. Honestly, I appreciate a sizable behind!”

This got me thinking, we all have different “ideal” body preferences, which is a good thing. After all, variety is the spice of life! If you are like me and not naturally blessed with a “bangin’ booty” here is a workout that can help us get some nice firm, junk in our trunks. We’ll also build lower body strength and burn a lot of calories in the process – enjoy 🙂

  • Workout name: Brit’s Booty Builder
  • Duration: 30 minutes
  • Focus: Gluteus maximus, hamstrings
  • Calories burned: 200-250
  • Equipment needed: 2 heavy dumbbells/hand weights
  • Instructions: I’ve included some vidoes below to demo the exercises that may be confusing
