CROSSFIT -- Yes, I said it.

Say, CrossFit has really become something. Honestly, it's phenomenal how big it is, but it's not new. There's been circuit training like this for years.

 In my opinion, it's up at the top of my list of ways to work out your body and stay in tip top shape. The workouts train you aerobically and anaerobically in a shorter amount of time, rather than spending 45 minutes on a treadmill (which is not a bad thing!).

Now, I haven't been to a CrossFit, gym? Or is it a workout center? But hopefully one day I will. But there are many things you CAN do at home to get yourself ready and feeling confident.

 FitSugar.com has a plethora of 10-minute workouts (including CrossFit) you can follow, 30 to 40 minute workouts, Yoga stretches, sample Tabata workouts, at home Pilates and Barre routines and more. Granted not all the workouts you'll find are CrossFit, but they'll help you get in better shape, regain confidence and guarantee learn a lot about your own body.

Not only will you find out about your lung capacity, but which side of your body is more coordinated and stronger. Don't forget to keep your diet clean. Limit (cut out if possible) sugar, wheats (I'll touch up on this down the road), but if you're curious check out "Wheat Belly", by William Davis, MD.

All-in-all, the body can do amazing things. It will take some time to get in the shape you dream about and some practice to do handstand push-ups, but what's stopping you? Yourself? Think about it. Dream big, aim high, reach for the stars, whatever the cliche is, do it. Keep pushing yourself, but have fun!

Equipment! nah

If you don't feel like going to the gym, that's fine. You can still get that body you've wanted at home, at the park or in the yard. Sometimes it's nice to be comfortable at home and not have to worry too much about what you're going to wear, or if you don't feel like talking to anyone.

I was reading on the Women's Health website that some of the movements they combine, creates "super sets." Two moves that are performed back to back without a rest period in between.

I've tested this out, you'll feel the burn and the workout for sure! It'll get you in shape quick and work you up to doing more intense versions of these workouts.
Be sure to keep you heart rate high and move quickly from one exercise to the other. It's best to include some high energy workouts, or cardio and than follow up with some resistance.
