NO EXCUSES!

No more excuses. I know I haven’t posted an entry in a little while, and I have been doing some lifting, but nothing to be proud of. I have been making excuses not to lift or workout, and I have become comfortable lazing around the house doing very little. My boyfriend and personal trainer has a job and has been working much more. When he isn’t home to train me, well, I don’t train. Now I have found my solution.

There is always an excuse to sit around and do nothing, so instead of coming up with new ones, I have decided to find a solution. Jamie Eason, my wonderful Role Model has a great video on Youtube for anyone that wants to work out and thinks they can’t.

Excuses:
I don’t have a trainer
I can’t afford to go to the gym
I don’t want anyone to see me workout
I don’t want to leave my house
I don’t have any weights/equipment

Well here is the solution, work out at home or on the road with little to no equipment.

If you have enough room to lay down and spread out as well as stand and do a jumping jack then grab some comfy workout clothes and a deck of cards and burn off that last little bit of fat with these Plyometric excercises.

This routine does not fill the spot of my normal work out with my trainer but it will help me be active while he is away. The more active you are on your own the more likely you will succeed with others.

What you need:
A deck of card
An area long enough and tall enough for your person
Workout clothes
A piece of paper and pencil

On the paper you want to write down the Plyometric routine you are going to do.

Jamie Eason’s Routine:
Squat Jumps
Jumping Jacks
Jumping Lunges
High Knees
Mountain Climbers
Butt Kicks
Push Ups
Jumping Jacks (again for a rest)
Bicycle/Crunches

Repeat until card deck is done, for best results go through deck three times.

Thank you, and I’M BACK!

Fact #2

Me after 
HighSchool

Everyone needs a role model!

Role Model: A person who serves as a model in a particular behavioral or social role for another person to emulate.

     As a child my role model was my mother, she was everything to me, still is.

      When I was a little older I wanted to be a Power Ranger, the Green one to be exact. 

     In my teenage years I wanted to be like Pink or any other woman with a big mouth and success.

     Now instead of finding a role model to help me find what I want to be I have decided to find out what I want to be and if a role model emulates my desires I will be delighted to find them.

Corporate Communications, 
Competitions and Modeling

     I am going to College for Advertising and Marketing; I want to be successful in the business world.

     I have lost over 40 lbs since High School and have been working hard to understand what healthy is and how to be fit.

     Weightlifting is really important to me and I want to be able to complete my goals, such as; back squatting my body weight by Thanksgiving and overhead squatting my body weight in early 2011. I also want to have visible abs and sustain them to show off during Swim Suit/Beach season next year.

My Role Model 
Jamie Eason

     It was not too difficult to find my role model; she even looks exactly like how I would love to look. I am a 5’2” blond, Caucasian female with a desire to be fit through weight training and to be successful in the business world.

     Jamie Eason is a beautiful and successful woman who has inspired me to become the best I can. She did not start out looking the way she does now, she was not always fit, she was not always successful but she has pushed herself and made her self the amazing person she is today!

     In the strong words of my role model; “This is your life. If you are not who you want to be, change it!” – Jamie Eason

     When you need more Work Out advice than I can give, or Nutrition Information from a professional or even just a little more Motivation to help you achieve you goals then check out Jamie Eason's Official Website.  

      From now on when I have a tip or fact that I believe has positively helped me or that could help my followers than I will also link the fact to one of Jamie's blogs links. With these links you will have more of an opportunity to expand your knowledge to achieve your goals!
