The Biggest Loser

I've first watch the biggest loser in RPN 9. I was amazed by the transformation of the contestants. Since then I was an avid fan of the reality tv show.

Season 3 has just finished and they are already casting for the 4th season. The winner was a fireman from New York named Erik. Below are the before and after pics of the contestant.

Gym Substitute

I wasn't able to go to the gym for this week. I had my car checked up for my trip to Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay this weekend. I was really guilty not being able to go to the gym. I had to do something. Good thing, I was able to get a copy of TURBO JAM. It's an exercise video created by Chalene Johnson.

Turbo Jam is a cardio exercise. It combines TAEBO & DANCE. The fitness instructor is very energetic that you will be encourage to do the whole fitness video. I recommend that you try this exercise video. One of the sidekicks that was on video lost 70lbs and she looks gorgeous.

Also, I have a pair of dumbells weighing 5lbs each. I do 2 sets of fifteen reps per muscle.

I hope this would be enough until I could go back to the gym. Below is a sample video. Enjoy!
