I've been on a mission for years to get in amazing shape and sculpt my body into one smokin' mama.  My fitness level is pretty good, but I can never seem to find a program that delivers results CONTINUALLY, no matter how dedicated I may be.  Around 4-6 weeks, it always seems that I either get completely bored with the program I'm on or that I plateau and the exercises just don't seem to work that well anymore.

I've decided that this time, I want to "go hard or go home" and I will do whatever it takes to get a rock-hard physique that anyone would be proud to have.  That's what led me to discover Ultimate Sandbag Training.  This program is extremely unique and offers many advantages over using a traditional set of dumbbells or weights.  It's also completely adjustable and grows right along with your increasing level of fitness.  Keep reading to learn more about one of the hottest new at-home exercise programs!

More than any other season, I believe summer to be the season of fitness.  I mean, the weather is warm, bikinis are in and if you're covered from head to toe in the hopes of camouflaging those extra pounds, everyone will notice.  I've long been a fan of working out at home, for there are some terrific programs out there which really kick butt.

Of course, now that I'm a mom and my free time is virtually nonexistent, I need a program which will deliver big results quickly.  That's why I was drawn to the RKS Workout Series.  This kettlebell-based exercise program claims to come through in a big way if you dedicate 30 minutes per day, 4 days a week.  I decided to throw my hat in the ring and get in shape.  Keep reading to learn more!

As I grow older, I find myself more and more concerned and watchful over my health.  After all, we only have one life to live and I want mine to be as fulfilling as possible without undue pain and problems.  Of course, if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that much can be accomplished by simple awareness of the situation.  In the infamous words of Dr. Phil, "You can't change what you don't acknowledge."

If you've read many of my fitness posts lately, you'll know that I am currently deep in the throes of war...with my weight!  I've been trying desperately to lose 15 pounds in order to get back to my pre-baby weight of 132 lbs.  Most all of the clothes in my closet only fit a 132 lb. body and not the 147 lb. I was.  I'm happy to say that I've already lost seven pounds, but I still have more work to do.

Of course, working out and eating right is never that much fun and I'd love to be able to do anything I can to maximize my efforts.  What if I told you that there was a way to amp up the results you see from your workouts without actually working out any harder or any longer?  As a matter of fact, the only thing you would have to do differently would be to put on a pair of Zaggora FLARES.  Sound good?  Then keep reading to learn more about how these amazing weight loss pants work!
