Stay in Shape rather than Getting Back into Shape

Stay in Shape

Stay in Shape

If you think it’s a lot of work to stay in shape try getting back into shape. We realize it’s a grind sometimes to force yourself to workout even though you don’t want to. You may be tired, sore or just plain lazy that day. Just remember no matter how hard it is to get your workout in day in and day out to stay in shape, the other side of the coin is much tougher. We all have family and friends who have been on that workout roller coaster where they workout for a few days, weeks or months. Then they fall off the wagon and go back at it again a few months later. Trying to get back into shape is twice as tough and takes a lot of work. Often you get sore and the workouts become much tougher when you are trying to get back in shape. Let’s face it. Staying in shape requires a great deal of motivation and willpower. However, the long term benefits to your overall health and the ease to maintain this far outweigh the short term perceived benefits of having a break from your exercise routine.

What does a Cardio Blast Workout look like

Posted on by

A Cardio Blast workout is something unique and different that people need to experience. Recently, Alex K took 6 of his participants and invited them out for a Cardio Blast workout training session. He took the drills from one workout of Cardio Blast and put these girls through the ringer. There was no slacking off here. They had to do all of the drills to their full effort with the extra benefit of having Alex motivating and pushing them throughout the workout.

ETS Beach Body Winner Lost 21lbs in 12 Weeks!

ETS Beach Body Winner

ETS Beach Body Winner

When ETS Beach Body Winner Michelle Kask won our contest she had a goal of losing 15lbs in 12 weeks. Not only did she achieve that, she lost even more. Her prize was 4 weeks of personal training, 4 weeks of Cardio Blast videos and then 4 weeks of training with Alex K doing his own workouts. Here is what she had to say about the experience. Congrats Michelle!

“Panic would describe how I felt when Alex K called to tell me I was the ETS Beach Body Winner. But once I accepted the challenge I was determined to succeed. After years of on again off again diets I was set to do it right this time ! With Alex guiding me how could I go wrong?

Starting weight: 186. 2 pounds Week 1-4 :
I had stuck around this weight for the past 2 years. Starvation, exhaustion, ready to abandon this whole silly contest – I persevered. My first work out with Alex K was intense. Since he had no one else to focus on except me, I crawled out of the first session feeling proud at what I had accomplished. With his encouragement and my determination I had made it through my first workout ! Every week Alex K changed the workout, with the variety who could get bored?!
End of Week 4 Weigh in: 176.8

Week 5-8: What do you mean I have to stay on track with my eating? Alex K encouraged me to stay on track with my eating every day. Keeping a food journal and having to show it to him helped me stay on track. If I did stray I could see the difference on how I felt.
These 4 weeks I used the Cardio Blast videos. Encouraged to exercise daily I used the videos 3 times a week. Having Alex K in my living room even on the TV I had an incredible work out using these video???s. I really liked how you could adapt it to any fitness level.
End of week 8 weigh in: 171.6

Week 9-12: The four most challenging weeks to stay focused and on track! The last four weeks I did Alex K???s workouts with him. Again he was great with his variety in workouts which kept me on my toes. I never thought I could work out along side my personal trainer. It was fun making him sweat too!!

I lost a total of 21 pounds in the 12 weeks !! My goal at the beginning was 15 pounds. Thanks Alex K!!”
