Get Moving Tips for Women on the Go from Fitness Expert Kristin McGee


Kristin McGee courtesy of KristinMcGee.com

That's you, right? A woman on the go?  Sure is.  If you're like me, you scold yourself repeatedly throughout the day for not getting more movement in for the good of the ole bod.  Help has arrived!

Celebrity yoga and fitness instructor Kristin McGee shares quick tips for sneaking movement into your day this summer.  Google her, you'll see this lass knows her stuff.  Always happy to learn new, inspired ways to tender my body more healthy, I am so appreciative for these quick tips-on-the-go.

  • Rise and shine each morning with a set of high knee lifts
  • Carry, don't cart, your grocery bags and use their weight to do a few quick bicep curls to tone your arms
  • Take the stairs two at a time to sneak walking lunges into your daily routine (no elevators, girls)
  • Do 20 jumping jacks to get your heart rate up and blood pumping (fresh oxygen, please, feels great)



Here's another little tip for summer, ladies.  Degree Women launched a new wetness protection in March designed to start working before you even need it.  Degree Women motionSENSE is activated by motion first and is proved to help women stay ahead of perspiration.  It's currently my anti-perspirant/deodorant of choice - love the Fresh Energy scent - and is keeping me dry and comfy even in the sizzling hot, humid heat of down south New Orleans. That's a feat! Degree Women motionSENSE is available in drugstores nationwide and retails for approximately $4.69.

Killing Me Softly

Right, so at this moment in time im feeling rather motivated to tone up and maybe drop a few pounds(so I say whist munching on a cookie),not too much,maybe something like 9lb any more and il look ill and that's not even the look im trying to achieve.

So anyway,once I get into excersise I seem to go into healthy mode,Until one day Im so tired I end up thinking,meh!!! il do my workout tomorrow,then it throws me off and everything goes down hill from there,sad times

But not this time,oh no.Some of you may have seen me tweeting about fitness dvd's the other day,eventually I settled on one which had rather good reviews.....


Hannah Waterman's body blitz was what I went for.For two reasons,This dvd had really good reviews with people seeing quick results,and a 10min workout on this dvd is equivalent to an hour aerobics,which is great for lazy bitches like me.What I hear you say,surely that cant be,umm well after I did one 20 min section yesterday im not even going to argue that statement.After 10 min the men on the dvd were dripping in sweat so you could imagine what I was like LOL.

The reason why:The DVD is based on the latest scientific research of interval training.which is short bursts of intense exercise followed by a rest.Studies have shown it burns fat 4-5 times faster than jogging,so you don't need to do as much.WOO HOO

The dvd has four 20 min sections.Cardio blitz,Box blitz,Tone blitz Extra abs and cool down.The only section iv completed at the moment is Cardio blitz,and half way through I was sure I was ready to pass out.Iv jogged in past as well as doing the gym thing and I have never felt tired after 20min of excersise.Never have I ever been left so sweaty and out of breath.Im not the fittest person in the world,but it takes a lot to get me feeling like I want to sit down,this dvd did that and more.Hannah Waterman aint playing......

I got mine online from HMV for £12.99 with free delivery,but you can probably pick it up from anywhere.

Are any of you on a fitness trip at the moment
