Start right here, with Green Giant red potatoes. I got the 10 pound bag, because the peoples in my house are excessively greedy. My Parsley Red Potatoes are great as part of a family meal, holiday meal (think Easter), or anytime meal on a day when you’ve worked out hardcore and need some extra fuel. I am NOT afraid of the occasional dish of red potatoes. My metabolism embraces it.

So do this:

Whoops! Forgot to add a pic that shows where you boil the potatoes after you cube them, BEFORE you move on to pic #3.

And that’s parsley flakes in pic #3 with some buttah. Go on and be parley-generous, because that’s where the extra flavors will bitch-slap your taste buds into ecstasy. Heat up the butter and parsley flakes until sizzly, then add the boiled potatoes cubes and stir around gently until coated with the parsley. It’s even better to get a little golden brown sear going on those potatoes.

Add some salt, and waalaaa! The final product is fanciness and wonderment. Parsley Red Potatoes is so simple, yet so powerfully delicious. It totally transforms a basic red potato into a supah star! You will be an instant hero to anyone you feed them to.

…and I’m totally giggly at this video from Green Giant. Yes, I’m in it, so watch it! Does this mean I’m famous now?? Oh, never mind then.

Challenge yourself and get that heart pumping as you sculpt your legs into sexy hawtness.

Legs On Fire Video Demo

Equipment Needed: Interval Timer or a steady eye on the clock.

Primarily Targets: Legs and fat-melting cardio.

Time Needed: Approximately 25 minutes or less.

LEGS ON FIRE (after a thorough warm up)

• 20 Reps: reverse lunge kick, right leg
• 20 Reps: reverse lung kick, left leg
• 20 Reps: alternating reverse lunge hovers
• 3 minutes speed rope intervals (45 secs skipping /15 seconds high knees jog in place). If you don’t have a speed rope or can’t use a rope in the house (due to carpeting), it’s no big deal. Just use your “invisible” speed rope instead!
• Repeat circuit 3-4 times  (very short rests only when absolutely needed).
  

Beginners: decrease lunge reps and/or skipping intervals. Maintain good form (no knees over toes), keep your body tight and stabilize your core. No flopping around!

More home workouts are on the way, so subscribe to my YouTube channel and snag yourself an interval timer.

Say hello to your sexy legs, baby!

Congrats to Lindsay, Maya & Catherine! Can I borrows some yogurt?

I was dang near 185 pounds. Just take a look at me back then. But enough was enough. I refused to gain another pound, dammit!

So this is where it all started. I tried running at first, but it was a steamy summer. My body wasn’t used to the combination of increased heart rate, plus all that hot, humid air. On top of that, running caused painful swelling in my ankles. They couldn’t handle the pounding under all that extra weight.

But I had to keep on moving. So what to do instead?

Walking was the answer. I shed my first 20 pounds through a combination of watching my calories, occasional outdoor walking on lunch breaks and Leslie Sansone’s Walk At Home DVD’s. I promise you will NOT be bored when you’re walking with Leslie. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious, and the miles fly by really fast.

Walking at home is definitely for people who are:

• Brand new to fitness.
• Dreadmill and elliptical’ers who need some variety.
• Fitness with the kids — they will love doing this with you.
• Postpartum chicks.
• Peeps on a comeback from injury.
• Any fitness level that wants to keep their body in motion.

Walking at home isn’t what you might imagine. There’s no smashing into walls or chasing your shadow around the couch 50 times. There’s brisk marching in place, forward & backward moves, leg kicks and arm raises, even strength training as you incorporate light weights and bands. All of these moves can be done in the smallest of workout spaces, taking you from 1 to 5 miles depending on which workout you choose. You’ll also increase your heart rate beyond what your average walk outside will do.

Check out the clip. It’s one of my favorites from Leslie:

Leslie has been at this for over 20 years (yep). She has a huge following and a ton of success stories to back it up. Walking at home works. And it’s just another reason why you can’t make excuses to not exercise. Keep that ass of yours in motion.

Leslie made it easy for me to get on the road to fitness and helped me form habits that led to where I am today. I have at least 5 of her Walk At Home DVD’s in my collection. They are forever part of my Home Workout Essentials. Go on and give walking at home a spin.

Stay sexy, everybody! xoxo
