The Four Letter Word all Women Abhor........

Of course I am talking about the word "diet".


I want to maintain some curves and remain shapely, while still toning up and being healthy. There are a few DVD's that I have been doing which have been AMAZING. So amazing in fact, that I toned up very quickly and slacked. So, back on the wagon.

One thing that a lot of the DVD's that I use have in common is that they are loosely based on some form of ballet. While I have read contradicting reports on whether these types of exercises "re-shape the muscles" or not, I have to say for me they are great at quickly toning trouble spots. I use the Fluidity Bar that I bought off of my local craigslist. This was pricey, and believe me I felt guilty buying it, but it is the ONE expensive fitness purchase I don't regret.
As for DVD's, I mostly use the DVD that came with the Fluidity Fitness Exercise Bar and the The Lotte Berk Method, 4 Disc Set: Basic Essentials, Hip Hugger Abs, Muscle Eats Fat, High Round Assets as well . I have purchased others, but these are my mainstays. I will write more about these and the others as I master them (or not!)

I would love to hear how you stay motivated, and if you try any of the DVD's let me know what you thought, or if you have any other suggestions!
