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.

Get Strong from the Inside Out

I love Jimmy J's success story. He shares the analogy that you can't shoot a cannon from a canoe. I had to think about this one for a minute. He's saying that focusing on strong legs or muscular arms doesn't amount to anything if you have a flabby, weak core. Strengthen you body from the inside out and you'll have lasting, meaningful results. A strong core is key to a strong body.

Burn & Sculpt Through the Holidays

Time to hit the Cardio Burn & Sculpt video hard. It's a difficult season of eating and drinking and I need to keep up my momentum!! I also don't want to have to deny myself all season long. So far, I'm holding my own, thanks to Mitch's motivational approach and varied workouts. I plan to melt it off all the way through to the New Year.

The Secret: Core Leverage

If you're trying to decide whether or not to take the plunge (though it's not a big money investment, let's face it) and get with Mitch... you might be wondering how it's so effective. The program really works because you burn more calories with Mitch's exercises than you do with most others. In fact, you'll burn up to 1,000 calories an hour. Holy smoke! The exercises focus on core leveraged action. How it affects your body is what makes all the difference. Give it a whirl. Your body will thank you.

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.

Melt Away 1,000 Calories

do you realize how effective the 3-day melt program is? when you sequence together the workouts in the order they tell you, the exercises create a workout that burns up to 1000 calories in one massive pop. well, maybe not in one chunk, but burns them all the same. that's more than half the calories i consume in a day. it's no wonder that the melt it off with mitch workouts help people lose so much weight so quickly.

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!

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.

Superbody - Supertime

don't you wonder how many hours a day, or a week, the superbody superstars have to invest in their bodies? i think of someone like angelina jolie and wonder if it's a massive amount of time. i think the melt it off program does the trick in an hour or less a day. but, i'm no angelina, let's face it! really, though, you had better like your personal trainer if you're going to spend that kind of time together, right? i rather like having mitch gaylord as my personal trainer - without having to talk to the guy when i'm feeling grumpy or antisocial.

Evening Exercise

daylight savings time is not my favorite concept. at least not now that i live in a wintery place. snow boots and light-till-late don't mix, as far as i'm concerned. i wonder, has the time shift affected your workout schedule? i prefer exercise in the morning, and i know that some of the melt it off workouts are short, but now that it's dark forever in the a.m. again, there's no way i'm exercising in the morning... not for a while. it's evenings for exercise now.

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!

G-Ball

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?

Ultimate Core

i'm curious to know if anyone has used the Ultimate Core video that's part of the 3-Day melt program. it says it's based on how our core moves in everyday living. that sounds really smart. strengthening your core muscles sure will give you a 6-pack if you're super focused on it, but also just makes sense for good health and a toned body.

Melt It Off

i'd love to know if anybody out there has a favorite Melt It Off DVD ... or if you use them in a certain rotation to keep your workouts fresh and interesting. have you used the Cardio Burn & Sculpt DVD yet? let me know what your experience has been. thanks!

High Calorie Melt Workout

THIS is the cure for what ails you during the holiday binge season: mitch's high calorie melt workout. they guarantee that it will crank up your metabolism. i can definitely vouch for the fact that it kicks everything into high gear, so 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! oh! bonus - when you stimulate your metabolism like that, it increases your burn rate even after you've settled into the couch again!
