At-Home HIIT Workout With (Or Without) the Kids
Have you ever had a day or two, or possibly an entire week, that you were cooped up at home? Due to bad weather or a sick child, no matter the circumstance, getting into the gym or out for a run just is not happening. Being stuck at home doesn’t have to mean TV time. Making your small entourage a part of the show can help your little ones relieve restlessness, too. I have a kid-friendly workout plan (age 4 and above tested and approved), that is fun and doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment except for hand weights if you want a little extra toning.

18-Minute Total Body Disc Workout [VIDEO]
Adding a pair of discs to your workout will ramp it up 10 notches. This is a challenging workout, so if you’re not quite sure it’s for you, watch it once through. Skinny Mom founder and CEO, Brooke Griffin, powers through this intense sequence, doing each exercise for a full minute. If you don’t have actual discs, you can use washcloths on hardwood floors or paper plates on rugs and carpet. Brooke will perform each exercise for one round, but it’s up to you to finish two more!

Back Fat Be Gone [VIDEO]
It’s easier to work the muscles you see in the mirror, but what about your back? Founder and Skinny Mom CEO Brooke Griffin mixes creative and basic exercises for an intense back workout. These exercises do require some balance on your part, so if you feel that you can’t quite manage it, try it without the equipment. Otherwise, you’ll be using a stability ball and a pair of dumbbells. Keep the abdominal wall tight and engaged to support the back muscles as they work. Exhale on the contraction of the movement like you’ll see Brooke do.

Get Sexy Legs at Home [VIDEO]
There’s nothing better than working out in the privacy of your own home. Follow Real Mom Model Melissa through a leg circuit, doing 12 repetitions for each move. You’ll get breaks in between, but if you’re not feeling enough burn, add some dumbbells for extra resistance. You’ll probably need a countertop or chair back to help you balance during the first exercise. Go at your own pace and be mindful of your range of motion. Repeat this circuit as many times as you want!

7 Ways To Get The Most Out of Your Workout
I was recently watching a TED talk given by Dan Gilbert called “The Surprising Science of Happiness,” where Mr. Gilbert points out that too many options actually lower our level of contentment about any given thing. One of the greatest kettlebell trainers of our time, Pavel Tsatsouline, mentioned how in Russia, there are two choices for coffee, with or without milk. When a Russian then enters a Starbucks with a full menu of coffee derived beverages, overwhelmed, he leaves with nothing.

3 Flat Belly Moves That Won’t Hurt Your Back
A flat stomach is the ultimate goal for many gym-goers. Walk into any gym in the country, and there is sure to be someone on their back doing crunches or holding a dumbbell while they side bend – all in pursuit of tight, toned abs.

10 Unusual Weight Loss Tactics That Work
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that eating tasty food can be one hell of an experience. It can improve your mood, give you the energy you need to go through another hard day at work, and it can even be an integral part of a romantic evening. Salty, fatty and sugary foods taste incredibly good to us, because these types of foods are rare finds in nature and are necessary for us to keep functioning properly. Over time we have developed mechanisms that keep us hooked on calorie dense foods, and our bodies tend to favor fat build up over muscle synthesis, because this enables us to survive long periods with minimal resources available.

7 Exercises That Rock Your Abs
Every woman I know have always spoken about having a flat tummy, one that is toned and taut yet feminine. You probably are no different. If you have struggled in the past and always fallen short of your dream of having a flat toned sexy tummy, then read on. Most of us believe that crunches are the best option. But, that’s not true. Crunching isn’t the best abs workout. They tone only the front and sides muscle of the stomach. It doesn’t tone all the muscles for perfect abs with hips, lower back, and upper thighs.

10 Best Foods To Eat Before Working Out
Maximize your workout by not exercising on an empty stomach. For a standard hour-long workout — lifting, running, cycling, you need to make sure you have a combination of carbs and protein to provide a stream of energy during strenuous exercise and nutrients to repair muscle afterward.
For people trying to tone and lose fat, there is a myth that by not eating, they are going to go into further deficit and lose more fat. In reality, you bodies may shut down and not lose anything, which renders your workout a waste. So remember to eat something at least 45 minutes to an hour before your session so that you give your body ample time to digest.
