Our FAST and favorite new work out:

Hello again Ragers,

If you are like me and Heather, you likely ate and drank way too much over the holiday season.  While I am not a big fan of the bird, I can admit to eating a lot of mashed potatoes as well as fried cheese sticks AND beer the day after the holiday after skiing. Ugh. The holidays -- it never ends.
Well.. now we are back on the wagon!  And we're going to show you how to work out fast and effectively.

Heather and I are gym rats.  Admittedly,  I'm worse than her, but we are always at the gym or trying new workouts and new classes. In fact, I don't have time for all this working out anymore.  It takes too long, and then you just burn out.  So Heather (always the online reader) found this great workout from The New York Times which only takes 7 minutes.  AND you can do it at home because you use your own body weight, a wall, a chair and you don't even need weights.  Over the summer, I worked out with a trainer, and she said this type of circuit training where you move rapidly from exercise to exercise is the most effective way to lose fat and shape up.  Typically though, they want you do the sequence 2-3 times.  I did it 3 times at the gym last week, and I can tell you it's exhausting. You are physically spent when it's done.  But think about how fast and efficient it is? You are done with the gym in 30 minutes!  Check it out!

P.S. Over the holidays, we also both got sucked into yet another Dr. Oz endorsed weight loss supplement, Garcinia Cambogia, and we will report on our results with this alleged miracle pill soon.
Don't buy it. Let us be the guinea pigs.  None of my other pilot projects thus far have worked (e.g., CLA, Raspberry Keytones, Thermogenics, Green Coffee Bean Extract), but we're going to give this one a final try. More soon!
