Melt It Off for Yourself

There’s a funny thing about making time for exercise first thing in the day. So often it seems that there just isn’t enough time for it. But when I take that little chunk of time in the morning to do what is good for my body and my mind, it gifts me extra time and energy throughout the day. I have better focus, better endurance, and a better outlook because I’ve gotten the day off on the right foot. In the Melt It Off with Mitch program, Mitch Gaylord talks about this idea of doing something for YOU. The time you take to exercise is time you’re investing in you – both your present and your future. And that is so important. No one else can do it for you. In addition to the exercise, fuel your body with healthy meals – check out the Melt it Off menu for great ideas. These foods will give you energy to propel you through the day regardless of what comes your way. These meals also won’t weigh you down with unnecessary fats or empty calories – they’re just good for you inside and out.

Now maybe morning isn’t your ideal time for exercise. I find that a short workout in the early afternoon can also totally save my day. Instead of reaching for a cup of coffee during that afternoon slump, I can reach for the 3 Day Melt DVD. Just 10 minutes and my energy is restored. If you haven’t tried this, you are in for a huge treat. All of that oxygen and movement will make you feel like you’ve got an entire day’s worth of energy at your disposal. You’ll feel so much better than you would have if you had reached for that coffee or soda.

No Limits on Your Fitness

Good news! I’m already feeling a difference – an improvement – in my strength. I love putting my indoor workouts to the test by taking them outdoors onto a trail with a friend. This week I’ve more than doubled my hiking distance. Let’s see… I think I’ve exactly tripled it from when I began hiking this area a few months ago. It used to make me a little nauseous to get to the highest elevation point before I turned around. Now, I trek on and could keep on going, if it wasn’t for having to get back to work! That’s a sensational feeling, to know that it is time that’s constraining me, as opposed to ability and endurance. As I’m heading up a gentle incline, it’s great to feel my quads working and feeling really, noticeably stronger – not wincing or asking me to stop, but happily working their way up the hill, seemingly able to climb forever. Hurray! The 3 Day Melt isn’t just about losing weight – it’s very much about a healthy lifestyle, a permanent change in your body and your outlook on your own ability to keep fit. You’ll Melt it Off, alright, but you’ll also get hooked on that healthy feeling of being strong and able to move about wherever your mind wants you to, as opposed to wherever your body would previously have allowed you to.

I Want Sculpted Abs

I want sculpted abs, and I'm going to get them with the Sizzlin' Abs Workout that's part of the 3 Day Melt video set. Mitch Gaylord's amazing techniques strike again to give us sculpted, rock-hard abs - that's right: the 6-pack abs we all want. The power of the G-Ball magnifies the intensity of the workout. This core workout will sculpt the upper and lower abs, and the side obliques. What's not to love about that?!

What's Your Mission?

have you used the journal that came with mitch's 3 Day Melt program? i think it's quite meaningful in its approach. the book asks us to define our reason for beginning the program. for myself, it was to start doing something healthy for myself that would improve my cardiovascular health in addition to building and toning muscle. i'm not out for a super model's body, but i want more tone and definition in my arms and legs and a tighter tummy. and the derriere, too, of course. and the melt it off program delivers.

Winter Workout

What, is it winter?? Temperatures are dropping outside, but I'm staying warm and melting it off thanks to the 3 Day Melt workout videos. High intensity cardio workout, mega calorie burning action, serious toning of the arms, shaping the shoulders, tightening the buns, burning the thighs. That's what I'm talking about! Winter, I welcome you - it's so much easier to burn up the calories when it isn't 100 degrees outside and all I want to do is lay by the pool. I'm loving these cool temperatures that make working out extra rewarding.

Burn Calories When Your Not Working Out

the thing about mitch gaylord's high calorie melt workout is that it cranks up your metabolism. i can vouch for the fact that it kicks everything into high gear. Be ready for an intense workout. it's a full hour long workout, so block out some time for it and then let those calories melt away! did you know that when you stimulate your metabolism like that, it increases your burn rate even after you've settled into the couch again! so then it's like you're working out even when you're not.

G-Ball Leverages Core Action

that G-Ball is amazing. it leverages your core action to really heat things up. i think that because you have to hold onto it, consciously - because, let's face it, it could fly off and break your favorite lamp or your roommate's nose - really amps up its effectiveness. i could be wrong, but i think it activates more muscles throughout your arms that way. what do you think?

Melting It Off in Double Time

is it my imagination, or does summer send the clock into high gear? i swear the days last half as long - or, you know, there's twice as much to do and only 25% more daylight. the math just doesn't add up. where is the time for the hour long melt it off with mitch workouts, i ask you?! the 3 day melt should only take 1 day and a half in the mid summer weeks, i think!

Keep on Burning and Sculpting

it's the season for the Cardio Burn & Sculpt Workout. summer may not last forever, but it pays to keep up the melt it off workout. it takes just the 3 day melt to start seeing results, but you've got to keep up the exercising if you're going to keep progressing and seeing the changes you want to see in your body. just think - the heat is probably helping to accelerate your weight loss!

Balance and Time

i'm happy to report that i didn't have to drive into the middle of nowhere afterall and my mood is much improved. melt it off with mitch can help a lot of things (thighs, buns, biceps, triceps, agility, core strength), and certainly exercise generally is good for mental balance and mood stability. but sometimes even a 3 day melt can't change ALL the circumstances of life. sometimes it just takes time and friends, a summer night on the patio and a bottle of gin.

Get Lost - Perfect 10 Prep

today all i can think about is driving into the middle of nowhere and getting lost for a while. i used to love camping... and then i figured out it's kind of a pain in the ass. but i am feeling the need right now to check out of my little fishbowl life and take a breather. i may not exactly be able to melt it off with mitch out there (wherever "out there" is) but the hard work with the G-ball and the lunges, perfect 10 cardiovascular workout, etc. will make hiking more enjoyable, to be sure. i think i've camped alone once in my life. i think. although i don't even have a vivid memory of that, so maybe i haven't even done that. i don't even own a tent. insert grin here. maybe just a day trip would be a better option. although, there's no real 'getting lost' sensation in a day trip. harumph. sleeping in the car? sounds pathetic. but maybe i could try being a dirtbag for a night. we'll see.

3 Day Melt Is Well Balanced

here's what i have to say about real-life chore-type exercise: it ain't no perfect 10 workout. it may melt it off, as they say, but it isn't a well-balanced workout, if you ask me. well, i suppose it might be if you average it all out and do EVERYTHING yourself. but i'm finding that so much of real life body work stresses and strains the back and uses the shoulders/upper back a lot. am i wrong here? and lots of squatting! which i know is great and i really can't think about a down side to that, but the tired back kind of concerns me that i'm overdoing it. anyway, i don't have this problem with the 3 day melt program. it seems, well, better balanced than some of the outdoorsy stuff i've been doing.

Never Enough Time for Everything

a wise older friend recently said that there just isn't enough time to do everything we want to do in our lives. i often feel like there isn't enough time in a day or week to do everything that needs to be done, but when she said those words in the context of her entire life... it really zoomed home for me. and not in a good way. it's almost too overwhelming to think about, really. i mean, just battling the day-in-day-out defeat of not accomplishing all the work and play and personal fulfillment projects is bad enough... but to think that life ends too soon and the to-do list will never be entirely crossed out... ugh. makes me wonder where in the priority list exercise should be. because on the one hand, doing something like the 3 day melt workout takes time. and on the other hand, it keeps me healthy and living better longer. so, maybe that 30 minutes to an hour a day of exercise is the best thing i can do in a day.

High Calorie Melt Workout - Favorite?!

tell me, tell me - what's your favorite workout in the Melt It Off with Mitch series of videos. the 3 Day Melt Kickstart is so encouraging, right? who doesn't like to see results right away?! but how about the Sizzlin' Abs workout or the High Calorie Melt workout - ass-kickin' exercising there. i've never worked so hard, i don't think.

Spring Cardio Workout

alright. even though i'm still rolling to work late everyday, it isn't the fault of daylight savings anymore. NOW, i want to stay outside all the time. i've been taking my dog for a walk every morning and evening (something i do not do when there's snow on the ground), which is definitely crowding into my 3 Day Melt/Melt It Off With Mitch time. i'm relishing every scrap of sunshine today because it's supposed to freeze up again tomorrow night. i'll no doubt be back to mitch and his killer g-ball, as snow or rain are going to turn the fields soggy - a mudbath for pooch. i suppose most people in a 4-season clime change their workout weapon at least a couple times a year. mitch gaylord is my fitness trainer all winter, for sure. i mean, what can beat his Cardio Burn and Sculpt Workout?

Melt It Off - What You Get

in case you need a little help on the organizational side of things, mitch gaylord's "melt it off" program might just have the hand-holding tools you're looking for. it isn't just dvds. there's also the g-ball (it'll really kick your butt, btw) plus low-fat recipes and meal plans, a rotation calendar, journal and lots of inspiration. the "3 day melt" gets you off to a great start.

3 Day Melt Better Than Yoga

i went to this yoga class a few days ago and totally strained my back. i never have back issues, but it really bothered me at bedtime for a couple of nights. not to slam yoga, but i've never felt like that when doing the 3 day melt / melt it off with mitch. sore muscles, yes, but never that sort of strain before. ugh!

Melt It Off ... Forever

CONSISTENCY - that is the key ingredient mitch gaylord talks about in his 3 Day Melt program that makes the difference between bronze - silver - gold. it's also what makes the difference between yo-yo weight loss and weight gain ... and the ability to lose weight forever. to be consistent in your diet and exercise means maintaining consistent weight. we can do it. YES WE CAN!

Melts Away the Fat

it's no surprise that the people on the testimonial page at the 3 day melt site lost all that weight. the melt it off program really works your muscles and melts away the fat. it's hard work and well worth it. it just requires the very simple g-ball, great video instruction and commitment!

3 Day Melt

so today is what, the 11th. i'm wondering if i should kick the workout into high gear in anticipation of holiday nibbling. 2 more weeks of increasing temptation with sweets trays and holiday potlucks and the like. burn off a few extra calories now in hopes of staving off the inevitable couple of stocking stuffer pounds that accompany this time of year. the 3 day melt might just do the trick.
