Hey Ladies-
Just thought I'd pop in for a moment. Got off work a bit early today.
I just read about Tracey's new workouts coming soon on VF (Tracey Staehle).
They sound good.
You ladies are probably all right about a rest day, but the thick skull that I have and weight I need to lose....might keep me from doing this. I might try another "recovery workout" this Saturday and see how my cardio is the rest of the week. If it doesn't get better, I'll try taking my resting HR to see if it's elevated. If it's not, maybe I'm just being a slacker!
Although, I did fall asleep on the floor last night lying on my Elaine Petrone balls and my DH came down at 2:00 am (getting up for work) and I was still down there.........can you say exhausted??
I'm so worried about them not keeping me on this temporary job. They keep timing me with my work and telling me I need to pick up speed. My intuition says they aren't happy with me. I've been answering ads in the paper in the meantime just in case. Please pray for me.
Sorry, I haven't been around much and had much time for personals. Hopefully, I'll get back into the groove soon and back to normal.
2008 is bringing great things for us here at Fit by Tracey. Some very exciting new projects.
Kicking off the year and the series will be:
CoreBlast & Circuit Zone ? to be filmed in the next few weeks
CoreBlast is a 45 minute workout consisting of three 15 minute sections. We all know how I LOVE to work my ABS!!!!
This workout is unique and quite wonderful.
Section 1 - 15 minutes of standing abdominal/core strength & conditioning moves. We will warm your body and tone your muscles. Be prepared to feel muscles you never knew were there and move your body in ways you didn?t think you could! I have a variety of moves that will strengthen your mid section and get you prepared for bathing suit season.
Section 2: 15 minutes of abdominal/core strength using Bosu OR Stability Ball (OR Modified on a bench). Think shredded 8-pak.
Section 3: 15 minutes of mat work to strengthen, tone & sculpt gorgeous abs - we will be on the mat doing moves for your middle that will bring your muscles to their mercy. There will be a little of everything on this one, pilates, traditional with a twist and some funky new ab moves!
Bonus: Surprise
A wonderful bonus will be included on this DVD - details on that to come. You will have options of choosing a short workout, a medium workout or a long workout. You will be able to mix it up and make your own workout - details to come.
Equipment needed: a mat , dumb bell, stabilty ball OR Bosu.
Equipment used (but not required): medicine ball, bosu, bench. This workout can be done beautifully with just a mat & a dumb bell - you decide how heavy you want to go - it?s your body.
Modifier - YES, for FORM & EQUIPMENT
Circuit Zone is up next. Circuit Zone is your bootcamp prep for StrikeZone! As you know, for the past 4 months we have been training really hard with Josef on our kickboxing form. He has designed circuit workouts for us to do to prep our body and our minds for the workout ahead. After having my own a_ _ kicked by Josef, I thought, why not share the fun with you guys!
Throughout my kickbox training I?ve been learning loads of new and interesting things and have become totally inspired for the upcoming workouts. You all had such great ideas and the beauty of a circuit routine is changing it up and offering options. My new filming structure allows me to be creative and do what I love and that is work hard and work smart. You requested:
athletic style training ? athletic cardio drills & strength drills
a kickboxing section
using the medicine ball
comprehensive advanced upper and lower body sections
boxing drills
l legged functional moves
heavier weight work & plyometrics
muscle building & cardio endurance
time-efficient, effective, moderate-to-heavy weight circuit that allows for a great TB w/o in less than an hour
several rounds of exercises allowing for each muscle group to rest between sets
plyo moves for lower body to ?burn? our the muscle
You may be sorry you had so many ideas because guess what? It?s all in this one!
It will be one workout that will be filmed in a way that will allow you the option on your DVD to do whatever style workout you desire. We have already tested this with my Walking Strong workout. We filmed that one with my Circuit workout in mind. We take the entire day and shoot all sorts of fun stuff. Then we edit it with unique and creative options to offer you the best of the best. Circuit Zone will be a workout, unlike anything you?ve seen or done.
You will be in charge of how hard you want to work. You will have the opportunity to take the Circuit Zone challenge - or not. It will be up to you when you have finished a segment, if you want to go for round 2 or move forward. This workout will be designed for whatever ?workout? mood you are in. If you are feeling like a cardio challenge, then you will want to choose the Cardio Bonus option after your Leg Rotation to add into your routine anyway you desire. You will have the option during your workout to add in additional sections or continue with the normal circuit.
If you are ready to step it up and get your body conditioned for agility, precision, coordination & strength ? leave your skirts at the door, and join in on the fun?
Equipment needed: dumb bells, tube/band, bench.
Equipment used: Versa Loop, Bench, Med Ball, Kettle Bell. Weight requirement is entirely up to you. This workout is full of options. If you want to go light one day, do it, if you want to work on strength and power that is there for you as well. Just feeling like blasting out some anaerobic moves, you can do that too. Want to take it kind of easy but still feel like you did some work? Also an option. Don?t feel like doing kickboxing, that?s ok too. You can use this workout however you like. I can assure you, each section is unique and will challenge you in one way or another! How long will it be? How ever long you want! You can do a 20, 30, 45, 60 or more - minute circuit. These options will all be there for you.
Modifier - YES, for FORM & EQUIPMENT
StrikeZone is up next to be filmed in February. I will post more information on this next week.
Steady State Step & Hi-Lo Med Ball - will be fimed in early March.
