Mash Up Conditioning Review and Giveaway

The folks at Mash Up Conditioning sent me this awesome new workout DVD to review and give another copy away to one of my lucky readers. This is an awesome workout program for all levels of fitness, and it's very unique. First it offers 3 different people to follow depending on how you feel, and she even offers a few variations to do to each level if you are in between levels. Second, each workout program is 15 minutes, but you can do 2 or 3 of the workouts if you don't think the 15 minutes is enough. They provide you with a training plan that shows you which workouts you should combine.

Now to delve into the actual workouts. Each workout has 5 minutes of strength training, 5 mins of HIIT cardio workouts, and 5 minutes of Mind and Body which is your core workout, and there are 7 different workouts to choose from. I have been staying with the level 2 variation, and it has been very intense for me :) I definitely can feel my workout. Another great thing about this program is that it's designed to be done three times a week, so you don't have to give up your favorite workout. You can do those on the opposite days. It's been great for me, because I'm a runner, so I run 3 times and week and do Mash Up 3 times a week.

Still out of breath :)

Let's just say this one is staying in my rotation. I absolutely love it.

Okay, so now for the good part. The part where I get to give one of you this very DVD. But if you can't wait to win it you can purchase it here for a reasonable $49.99.

They did very well, can't wait to find out the official results. I didn't get in enough runs again last week, but I did run my longest run in quite a while. Here's my wrap up -

Here's my plan for this week -

Mamavation Monday - preventing your children from toxins

Well I had a pretty decent week last week. I got in 2 out of my 3 runs, and did my XT. I also lost 1 lb!!! YAY!! Let's hope it stays off. Here's my recap -

Monday - Mash Up Conditioning
Tuesday - 6 mile run
Wednesday - Mash Up Conditioning
Thursday - 3.23 mile run
Friday - Mash Up Conditioning

This week my goal is to continue with Mash Up Conditioning for my XT and get 3 runs in. I also am working on portion control and drinking at least 64 oz of water per day.

Today's Mamavation TV is about minimizing our children's exposure to toxins. This is really near and dear to my heart because I want my children to be healthy and happy, and toxins can put a stop to that.

Sunshine burgers review

I got the pleasure of being able to test out and review sunshine burgers. Sunshine burgers are vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free and USDA organic. All awesome words in my book :) I have tried different non-meat burgers, and honestly haven't been extremely impressed, but I find the sunshine burgers to be actually really good. They have 8 different varieties and all are made with a mixture of vegetables, beans, brown rice or hemp seed. And they are super easy and quick to make. They are already fully cooked, so you are just basically reheating them.

Since, I'm not extremely creative, I didn't make to elaborate of recipes. I made a traditional burger with the black bean southwest burger. Absolutely yummo!!!

And, then I decided to go crazy with the mushroom burger, and do a chili cheese burger on an english muffin. Again, yummo!!!

But they have a ton of recipes on their page, that I plan on trying with some of the other varieties they offer.

This is definitely a great option for me to have quick, healthy lunches since I usually workout during lunch. This way I can get my 1/2 hour workout in, and then make a quick burger and still eat whole.

So now that I have you hooked and ready to run out and buy them.... where do you get them, you wonder? I am lucky enough to have it at my favorite grocery store, but here's the link where you can find yours.

So, what are you waiting for... run, walk, drive, whatever.... go get yours!!! :)

Monday wrapup - a day late

Last week I did pretty well. I didn't get as many runs in as I would've liked, but I did get a 5 mile run in on Tuesday. The rest of the week the weather didn't cooperate and my treadmill was buried, but I made the best of it and did a different workout.

Monday - Mash up Conditioning Tempo 1
Tuesday - 5 mile run
Wednesday - Mash up Conditioning Tempo 2
Thursday - core exercise
Friday - Mash up Conditioning Tempo 1 & Tempo 3

The Mash up conditioning workout is a new one for me and I really like it. I also am doing a exercise/photo challenge called Move Nourish Believe challenge through Lorna Jane. It's been a lot of fun, and challenged me to get out of my comfort zone a little :) Next week, I am going to continue with the Mash up Conditioning workouts on my XT days and I hope to get 3 runs in :)

How about you? How are your workouts coming?
