Choose 1 cardio exercise and 1 strength exercise. Here, we are demonstrating a squat jump and an overhead press. In a pyramid set, you'll be starting with 1 rep and ideally working up to 10 reps. Then bring 10 reps down to 1 rep. Example shown in the video: 1 overhead press 2 overhead presses 3 overhead presses 4 overhead presses 5 overhead presses then 5 overhead presses 4 overhead presses 3 overhead presse 2 overhead presses 1 overhead press Feel the burn!

What better way to start a Sunday morning then to have a dance party?! Everyone loves to dance, right? Liana Veda, an international recording artist and Zumba Jammer, led 35 women, including myself and my co-workers/friends, in an hour long booty shaking class before the big Pats game today ... Super Bowl, here we come! Everybody had such a great time, and they all got their sweat on - remember, you should sweat once a day!
Reflecting back on the day and how much fun everyone had, including myself, I realize how lucky I am to work for a company that creates components for people to live a longer, healthier, more fun life yet promotes camaraderie and community at the same time. I go to work excited and have a hard time leaving because I absolutely love what I do! Making a small difference in someone's life whether it's helping them pick the best pair of yoga pants that make their butt look good or helping with an event to get women moving and grooving and smiling confidently because they are having fun ... that makes me smile and just think to myself "I have the best job ever".
You can take regular stable exercises to a different level by incorporating plyometrics into your weekly routine. Also known as jump training, plyometrics is a form of conditioning aimed at created controlled impact and maximum power and is used by lots of athletes.
Here, we are demonstrating how to take a squat to a jump squat or burpee (you can thrown in Brian's cool moves lol) and then lunges to split lunges.
Stay tuned for new videos on health, fitness, training and nutrition coming soon! If there's anything you'd like us to cover, please let us know! Get ready to sweat in 2012!
