My Summer Workout!
Posted by Ali Sweeney on Aug 2, 2011

Hi everyone,

I just stared using a new iPhone app called Tout (tout.com) to record fun snippets of my life. So much fun! Today I'm sharing two of my first Tout videos to give you a glimpse of my trainer and me working out in my backyard.  

Check it out:




I love kickboxing, especially when I do it outside, because it's a nice departure from my normal workout. Plus, it really gets my heart rate going and always leaves me feeling energized and strong! 

Have you ever tried kickboxing? What other workouts do you use to shake up your routine? Let me know in the comment section below.

i've done kickboxing for about 5 years and there is no other work out like it, especially if you bring the intesity! it doesn't hurt that it makes you feel pretty tough too smiley-smile.gif

I am so blown away by your pushups!! What a goal for me to set for myself!

I have been doing zumba with a local instructor in my hometown.  I have lost 24 pounds so far!  I love it ..  It is very addicting and it doesn't even feel like exercising!! 

Great form and super workout!!  Love these "touts".  Thanks for sharing:) Judy

 

Kickboxing?  Sorry, no. 

We use concepts such as periodization, equipment such as heart rate monitors, and non-weight-bearing exercises like swimming, cycling or rowing; to attain goals such as balance, energy and peak fitness for key competitons. 

I don't know why your trainer has you doing that stuff but, I'm pretty sure it's not a very effective use of your energy or time. 

The Cyclcists Training Bible by Joel Freil has very good info which can translate and be applied to almost any fitness routine. 

Cheers,

I did kickboxing back when I was in high school and enjoyed it.  One of my favorite workouts that I recently was doing was zumba.  But, my  trial membership at the gym ran out and I haven't renewed.  So, I am thinking about purchasing the dvd's and keeping up with it at home.

loved these videos Ali! very inspiring!

I would love to the kickboxing thing!

Ari better watch out next time there is a Sami/Nicole fight you might pull one of your kickboxing moves.. lol
