I fell in love with these prenatal workout videos by Lindsay Brin when I was pregnant. The videos weren't anything special and she was kinda annoying (constantly referring to your butt as "buncakes") but they were only 20 or 30min which was about all I could handle. She is an ex-cheerleader (which typically would turn me off) but I was intrigued by her because she obviously has started her own fitness company and is focused on moms and moms to be. I kinda forgot about her post baby but I was searching for new workout videos and found her blog . . . and now I am intrigued again. She has had her second baby now (via In-Vitro) and is trying to lose the baby weight. She is obviously a fitness buff so slightly more fanatical then the average girl but she is also very honest. Honest about what your body looks like post baby, honest about trying to get pregnant, honest about breastfeeding . . . it was very refreshing to read. She even post a video of her trying to do her own workout video post baby (and struggling through it)! And surprisingly . . . her husband isn't in that good of shape.
Everything about it is so wrong . . . but I am loving it! What do you think?

i looked at the flash picture show and i think that all things being equal her body looks more "normal" post pregnancy before she goes back to her work-out body....
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I'm mildly annoyed by her obvious positive attitude and healthy, moderate outlook on exercise and diet. So, I guess I'm liking it too.
ReplyDeleteI do really like the "buncakes" business. In fact, next time I see you, I will be sure to work the word "buncakes" into the conversation. Probably a few times. Because it really is fun to say.
I'm totally going to start following the buncakes blog. Maybe my abs will start looking better via osmosis (or high speed internet)?
Fitness...Fintness...Flintness...Flightyness...Flintstoneness...sorry it is one of those days
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess that is what happens when you try to write a blog really quickly . . . good think you guys know what I mean! I bought her Lost 5 pounds and Rev up Metabolism workouts . . . I'll let you know if they work . . . they are only 23 minutes! You can do anything for 23 minutes right!? I am currently doing the "Brazil Butt Lift" workout. Fun. Hard. Jello legs post workout. But I think my butt looks better!
ReplyDeleteOoooo! I need the Brazil Butt Lift video! I will try... it can't be any worse than the "Skinny Bitch Fitness" DVDs. Good workouts but they are a bit annoying too. You would think that because I was once a "rah-rah" I would be cheery from all the cheering
ReplyDeletelol - I forgot you were a "rah-rah" . . . I can see it now . . . mother of two brings back the "rah-rah"!
