Top 3 Reasons Your Workouts Are Failing
Did you know that having a professionally designed workout and following a fat loss nutrition system
*still* doesn’t guarantee you’ll lose those unwanted pounds?
Frustrating but true.
I was just chatting with my friend and Moms Fat Loss Expert, Holly Rigsby and she’s discovered some interesting realities with her huge community of moms following her Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss System.
Here’s what Holly had to share:
“While thousands of moms have followed my Fit Yummy Mummy program and seen great results, I’ve found that a LOT of women don’t receive the results they are looking for because they fall short in three areas during their workouts:
3 Top Reasons Your Workouts Are Failing
_____________________________________________________________________________________
1. They don’t work out at the intensity necessary to make their body improve.
2. They don’t follow the proper workout design and maintain the pace of the workouts that she or other
fitness experts recommend in their programs.
3. They simply don’t understand how to do the exercises by simply looking at a picture in an e-book.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Her revelation was this: many women *need* to have a follow along workout they can watch to achieve the
results they want from their workouts.
Only by actually seeing how to do the exercises and follow the workout exactly as it was designed do these
women get the results that they’re looking for.”
===========================
A plan is only good if it’s followed
===========================
As you probably already know, the best diet, the most powerful workout…they’re only good if the person trying to follow them knows what they’re doing.
In other words, you can have the best workout in the world, but if you don’t know how to do the exercises properly, you’re not only going to miss out on results, but you might even get injured by using improper technique.
And it’s not your fault.
You’re trying to follow the plan…but you don’t know what you don’t know.
But if you’re willing to follow a plan and would like to know *exactly* how to do your workouts to get maximum results, you’re in luck!
Today I want to tell you about the best FAT LOSS DVD’s I’ve ever seen. Holly Rigsby has just released her Fit Yummy Mummy DVD Set with her patented ‘Learn It’ and ‘Do It’ sections so you never have to wonder if your workouts are giving you the results you’re looking for ever again.

How to Lose Your Muffin Top
Boy do I have the goodies for you! My fitness trainer, Holly Rigsby, just gave me some incredible tips to loose my muffin top. Although I have lost 4 inches in my belly in the last few weeks, my muffin top is still very present although it is starting to disappear. What is a muffin top, you ask? This is the cute and cuddly term given to the layer of belly fat that spills over the top of your jeans, shorts or slacks. Don’t you just hate that?
There are certain exercises that specifically focus on the core area of your body that increase your metabolism faster and helps to flatten your belly as well as your muffin top. Good nutrition is still a key factor coupled with these specific targetted belly flattener exercises. I love to find target focused exercises that bring the most benefit for certain trouble areas. So enjoy Holly’s video below as I run off to get ready for my daughter, Nelia’s 4th birthday party at Build a Bear!

3 Fat Loss Motivation Boosters
WOOHOO! I’m in my 12th week of my fitness challenge! I need some motivation to finish out this week with a BANG! I decided to post what some of my friends are doing to motivate them in these final days. I will also share some motivation boosters that will get you started with your fitness plan.
“I am going to eat clean this week: no sugar or anything that comes out of a box, can ,or jar”
“I will just eat fruits ,veggies and protein”
“I am going to add an extra interval workout”
“I will drink more water this week”
“I am going to get plenty of sleep”
“I will have some me time”
“I am going to finish strong and positive about what I have accomplished”
These are all awesome and I’m also incorporating some of these as well this week as my fitness challenge comes to a close. Ohh I’m dreading my after pictures. I know there will be results but I’m the type of person that wants to see DRASTIC results right away. In my heart I know this is a process. I can’t expect everything to change in 12 weeks for what took 8 years to build over time after the birth of my 2 children. Here are some other great motivators for you to get your bottom in gear.
Pictures – Find a current picture of yourself and then find an old picture of you at your ideal weight. Place both pictures on your mirror for you to look at every morning and DON’T GET DEPRESSED! Get motivated and work towards your goal.
Set Your Goal – this is where the mindset of Napoleon Hill comes into play with his
6 Ways to Turn Your Desires Into Gold
1. Fix in your mind the exact weight goal that you desire and write it down
2. Determine what you expect to give as a service as result of receiving your desire
3. Specify exact date to accomplish your weight goal that you desire
4. Create definite plan for carrying out your desire
5. Write a clear concise statement that includes the details of steps 1-4.
6. Read written statement 2X daily (morning and night)
See and feel yourself in possession of your goal
Support Group – one of the best ways to stay motivated is to have a few friends join with you. I currently have 3 local friends that are in the fitness challenge with me. I see them 3-4 times a week and it has been great to hold each other accountable and encourage each other along the way. That’s also one of the most positive aspects of Holly Rigsby’s fitness plan is her Club FYM support group. I can ask my fitness questions and concerns and get a response very quickly.
Use this tips to get you motivated to take action for your life and health today!

New Octuplets Mom Needs This Workout System!
Hospital staff that delivered octuplets
***COMMENT ON THIS POST AND YOU’LL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING FOR A CONTEST*** CONTEST DETAILS
I’m sure that you heard of the story here in Los Angeles of the recent birth of octuplets. This is going to be one busy woman! I mean how do you breastfeed 8 children? Her “Me” time is surely going to be out of the question for a while.
***NEWS UPDATE: SHE HAS 6 OTHER CHILDREN ALREADY?*** What was she thinking when she took fertility treatments? Umm..I don’t think she has a fertility issue. Although many of us do not have 14 children, how many of us as moms don’t make ourselves a priority?
The beauty of her situation is that there is a fitness plan even for the mom of octuplets. The Fit Yummy Mummy system is a fitness plan designed for the busy mom.
All you need is to use bodyweight exercises to warm-up, short burst resistance training supersets(using bodyweight and dumbbell exercises) to boost your metabolism, and then finish your workout with short burst interval training to burn fat in a surprisingly short amount of time.
My fitness coach, Holly Rigsby, has structured the Fit Yummy Mummy System so that you can do the workouts in one of 4 different formats – but each way requires no more than 90 minutes per week!
1) First, you can do the 15-minute resistance training portion followed by 15 minutes of interval training. This workout would be done three times per week, preferably with a day of rest between workouts. In total, only 90 minutes per week required!
2) In the second option, you can do the resistance training and interval training on alternating days. That way, you’ll workout up to six days per week for 15 minutes each day – again, no more than 90 minutes per week. I am doing this pattern right now but next week I think I want to switch it up and try the 3X’s/week. Variety is the spice of life!
3) In the third option, you can choose to do one component in the morning and the other component at night. So if it works for you to start your day with 15 minutes of intervals or resistance training, and then slip in another 15 minute workout later in the day, that works too. If you do this, stick to the three day per week schedule, for a total of 90 minutes of exercise each week.
4) Or finally, you can use a combination of the above – whatever suits your schedule. Just aim to do three short burst resistance and three interval workouts each week.
As you can plainly see, the Fit Yummy Mummy System is flexible and adapts easily to your busy and even hectic lifestyle. You don’t have to worry about blocking off an hour or two each day to get to the gym and back. All you need are 15-30 minutes and a small amount of space in your house and follow along with the Fit Yummy Mummy Workouts.
Compare that to what most people do – marathon cardio sessions where they run, jog, cycle or use the cardio machines for 45 minutes straight and then follow it up with 30-60 minutes of ineffective machine circuit training. Sure, that will burn some calories in the gym, but it doesn’t build a better body in a shortest amount of time.
In fact, there are a few drawbacks to long slow cardio, including less-than-optimal results, the potential for overuse injuries and a waste of your precious time. If you only have 30-45 minutes for your workout and you spend it all on a cardio machine, when are you going to train the rest of your muscles and sculpt a better body and boost your metabolism?
It’s research-proven that the best way to burn belly fat is with a combination of short burst resistance training and interval training. It’s fast, it works, you can do it at home, and as you’ll see, its fun! Congratulations..er..or should I say God bless you New Octuplets + 6 Mom in your new journey!

3 Top Belly Blaster Exercises
Article by my fitness trainer, Holly Rigsby
Get Ready to Target Your Core!
If you’ve been searching for the most effective Tummy Flattener – you’ve found the right place! As far as your workouts go, you need to use upper body and lower body exercises that work many muscles at once – but I can hear you saying, what about my abs?
I want to get rid of my “mommy belly”!
Sure, including Abs as part of your routine is beneficial for strength purposes, but remember – no amount of “abs exercises” will make your belly fat disappear. Doing hundreds of crunches a day will do nothing to flatten your tummy. Believe me, I know from experience! I used to do 100 crunches/day with NO results until I found these exercises!
You will get three times more out of your workout by concentrating on the largest muscles. The “Abs” that you want to work through crunches are small….you can burn triple the amount of calories by doing full body exercises that also include a core component.
Your CORE is your body’s pillar. It must be strong in order for the exercises you do to be most effective, delivering faster results. Some of the best “ab exercises” actually use your whole body! (work your abs, use more muscles, increase your metabolism….that’s the way to go!)
Here are 3 Top Belly Blaster Exercises:
The Plank
The plank seems to magically flatten your belly as you engage the deepest muscles of your core. Be sure to form straight line from the ears, through shoulders and hips, to heels. Your body should not arch or sag. Engage your legs and your glutes and hold for as long as you can. Also make sure to hold in your belly tight. Ideally you will work your way up to 3 sets of 60 second holds.
The Side Plank
Raise your body in a straight line so that your body hovers over the mat. Keep your back straight and your hips up. Hold your abs tight. Pull your navel into your spine but breathe normally. Hold this position for the recommended amount of time.
The Belly Blaster
Keep your back straight and your hips up. Push off your forearms and raise your hips and glutes into the air and hold for 5-10 seconds. Lower your back to plank position so your body hovers just above the floor. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.
These are tips that I’m learning from my fitness coach Holly Rigsby. She also has even more advanced belly blasters with different variations of the above exercises. As an athlete, this is very helpful for me because I tend to plateau in my weight loss. I love that she has incremental workouts so be sure to check out more of her exercises that focuses on all of those mommy trouble spots at Fit Yummy Mummy.

My Fitness Challenge Update!
I’m in week 3 of 12 of my fitness challenge. This is my version of The Biggest Loser. I’ve been learning so much! I’ve been averaging 1850 calories per day and it is still not enough! After I inputted my weight, height, age, body fat and exercise level, I need to be eating 2200 to 2300 calories/day to start losing weight! Wowzers! I had no idea that I have to eat so much and I’m sure there are others out there that aren’t aware of this either! Here is an online body fat tester and a customizable calorie calculator calorie_calculator2 for you to input your stats.
I’m not getting caught up in weighing myself every single day because the scale is only one indicator of progress. I’ve actually tried on a pair of jeans that I couldn’t even pull over my thighs. They now fit over my thighs but now I can’t button them up! LOL PROGRESS! I can’t wait to be able to button them up and observe how loose they feel.
I also have 2 local friends that are in the challenge with me and they have noticed some drastic results already! It’s been exciting, fun and challenging to keep eating healthy foods every 3-4 hours but we are making it happen. Stay tuned for more details to come!
Oh wait! Speaking of The Biggest Loser, I was looking at an ad with Jillian Michaels and I thought to myself, “My fitness trainer, Holly Rigsby looks more hot than her!” : ) Let me know what you think! Here are more details on Holly Rigsby’s Fit Yummy Mummy program.
