I call myself a FIRM Believer because I love The FIRM. However, my love of The FIRM has expanded to love of other instructors as well. Cathe, Gin Miller, Ilaria Montagnani, Petra Kolber, Classical Stretch, Christi Taylor, Jari Love...to name just a few more of my favorites.

HIIT

So I'm trying to incorporate more HIIT into my life, high intensity interval training. What to choose? I do have Cathe's Hiit and Firm Express. I have absolutely zero desire to use Firm Express--but I will someday. lol

I'm looking at a few choices to expand my, um, collection:
Amy Dixon Breathless Body
Michelle Dozois Peak 10 (cardio and strength intervals)
Michelle Dozois PeakFit system. Problem with this is many people are getting scratched DVDs--not too cool.

Don't want to shell out the money for TurboFire as Turbo Jams hurt my kidney, plus I'm not too keen on Chalene. She's to hip for me.

If it's not on DVD, I won't do it. We do have a gym boss but I need to follow.

Supposedly HIIT is a better fat burner than steady state cardio. I love steady state cardio and will still do it on days I don't do HIIT because you can't do HIIT daily.

What to do? I want this fat off, I want to work out wisely.

A Fresh Start

I used to have an exercise blog. I got bored with it, figured who cares what I do for exercise, then deleted it. I've debated back and forth whether or not that was a good idea.

I've decided to give it a go again. Fresh start, new blog. bbhfirmbeliever.blogspot.com the bbh stands for Benson, Benson and Henrickson. Specifically, the late Anna Benson, her sister Cynthia, and her ex-husband Mark Henrickson. They were The FIRM founders. They made the workouts that are my favorites.

So once again, I will chronicle what I do for workouts. I'm doing this for me, my benefit only, but if you want to follow along, you're more than welcome.
