My very first giveaway! (Closed)

 




Who likes free stuff?  Free stuff with no strings attached? Well, maybe a little string. (he he)  I'm giving away a Gymboss Interval Timer, with the arm strap.  Pretty gnarly right?!  All you have to do is Subscribe to my blog, leave a comment on this posting that says: " I want that gymboss!"  I'll enter your name into a random selector program, and the program will randomly select the winner.  I'll announce the winner Friday (1-13-12)

  If you are not familiar with the gymboss, you're missing out!  I call it my little Jewel.   I use it for HIIT,  lifting weights,timechallenges, tabata, interval training and walk/run intervals. Gymboss will make any workout easier to plan and execute with more accuracy and consistency. Just set your intervals on the device and clip it to your shorts, or use the arm band.   It will beep a short beep, a longer beep or vibrate (or combination vibrate/beep) to alert you when the interval is up. So no more guessing, no more looking at your watch, just go as hard as you can until you hear "the beep".  CON:  It is hard to use at first, only because you have to figure out how to set the interval's and such.  However, Gymboss has many tutorials on YouTube that make it so much easier. In fact I got it "down pat" in about 2 minutes because of those video tutorials.


 Overall,  it's a nifty little gadget, and I never leave for a workout with out it. It has seriously changed and improved my workouts.  I have several workouts that you can do with the gymboss too, so you'll definitely be putting it to great use. Check out Gymboss.com  for more info! Good luck, and thank you for supporting my blog! I really appreciate you!

Show Me Whatcha Got

I'm bringing back the the Friday time challenges! It's Showtime baby!!Whoop Whoop! I'm so excited, we used to have so much fun doing these back in the beginning when I only had like 100 "fit chicks" on my Fit squad! Now we're over 2000 strong, so this should be really interesting. This workout is 535 reps.   It targets the whole body, however, there is a fair amount of exercises that focuses on those arms. Can you say trouble spot!? Man-o-Man, the arms has to be one of the most complained about area for women, don't you just hate those "flaps"? I call those flaps of fat at the bottom of our arms bat wings. One my fit chicks calls them bingo wings! ( hilarity)  Whatever you call them... lets get rid of them. Summer will be here before you know it, and we all want sexy, lean arms; so we can be fierce in our tanks and sundresses. ;) 


  Let's get to it!  When you are ready to begin start your timer. The list of exercises will be performed in circuit format. Complete the said amount of reps before moving on to the next.  This is not a competition with the other fit chicks this is a competition with yourself, cause, after all you are your only competition. *smiles*  Record your time when your done, and if you choose, share it. You can do so on either this blog posting in the comment section, or the Fit Chicks  facebook page.  There will be video's after the breakdown. Enjoy and Show Me Watcha Got!


*Warm up by marching at a fast arm pumping pace.  Once your body feels warm. Begin.
* Take breaks as needed, don't fly through the reps for the sake of a quick time, quality over quantity!

* Listen to your body, there is a difference between feeling the burn, and feeling pain!
*Wear good sneakers
*Sip water throughout the workout
*Do YOUR best.

KickBoxing Time Challenge

Friday! Yes!! TGIF! I'm so excited about this week ending. Alot of you had a tough week, so did I.  It must be something in the air. I've had this feeling of being fed up. I don't know why I'm so angry, I just want to scream! So I'm channeling my aggressive feelings, with some punching and kicking! Kickboxing time challenge anyone? Anyone?.... Oh yeah! Let's kick some imaginary butt today! I want you to imagine someone you really want to punch in the face, someone who gets under your skin,  ex boyfriend, baby daddy, crazy co-worker, psycho boss, or just a random douche bag that may have cut you off in traffic this week?  That happened to me on Wednesday, and I have a mental APB out for a red Datsun pickup truck with a don't mess with Texas bumper sticker on the rear fender. I didn't get the whole license plate but I got the last 2 digits, when I see him he has a mean fist shaking coming his way, until then I'll imagine him and his dusty truck while I'm punching and kicking my aggression away!   First thing, please warm up before you do this workout, I'll post a warm up video for you!  Next perform these moves with power, and ferocity, remember: we're kicking ass today! Now Get your stop watch and jump right into it! Enjoy! Post your time on the  FitChick Facebook Page.
