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.

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.

You've Gotta Work for the Six Pack

oh, so the conversation thread i loved in the message board i mentioned in my last post was flintchick (oh, i get it, flint michigan!) talking about how asskicking the workouts are. especially the "cardio burn and sculpt" and the "sizzlin abs" workouts. and you know what? she's right! mitch isn't messing around or promising something he ain't delivering. you've got to WORK to melt off the calories and pounds and to sculpt those abs and quads and butt and six pack. nothing comes easy, it turns out.

Burn it up and Melt it off

alright, i admit, i'm taking a minute to blog to you while i'm at work. don't tell the boss. i'm kind of burned up today and am totally looking forward to busting out of here and doing one of the melt it off with mitch workouts that kick my butt and leave me sweating and exhausted by the end. just ran across this board with a conversation about the 3 Day Melt - check it out.

Home Abs Workouts

have you compared any of the different home video abs workout programs? i'm wondering how the others - like the bender ball or ab secrets or crunchless abs ... stack up against mitch gaylord's Sizzlin' Abs Workout. do various ones yield different results when it comes to sculpting your 6-pack abs? do they all work your upper, lower and side obliques in their core workouts?

Burn Calories Not Pride

i'm curious what the average length of time is for ramping up one's endurance. is it just too varied to be a meaningful number? or is there some formula that applies to most people? i wonder. there's a distinctly different endurance requirement for each workout in the Melt It Off with Mitch series. anyone can lunge and squat their way through the 10 minute primer. but there just is no way to fake your way all the way through an hour-long aerobic workout, now is there? the High Calorie Melt™ Workout is one such workout that will burn calories, and singe your pride if you're not up to snuff. So, diligence, people - slow and steady wins the race to enduring all the way through one of these long workouts - it doesn't happen overnight. Be patient with yourself.

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.
