Got 4 Minutes??

December 17, 2017December 17, 2017 allisonwhitman

We’re moms…we’re short on time and need EFFECTIVE!! Enter Tabata training. What’s that? 20 seconds on, 10 seconds of rest for 4 minutes…you go ALL OUT for that 20 seconds (whatever all out means for you!). You can combine them with rest in between if you have additional time too. Interval training revs your metabolism for up to 12 hours after... Read More

August 15, 2016 allisonwhitman

I’ve been thinking a ton about my pregnancies since my first post comparing them, so here goes another! Last time, I scoured the world for prenatal workouts that were challenging, but not crazy.

Moving along, it’s the last of the regular program workouts from The Master’s Hammer and Chisel! I have one more video to share from the deluxe workouts, but we’ve covered the basics.

Hammer and Chisel – Chisel Cardio

Another Hammer and Chisel review! Are you liking these? I love this program and you can see that each workout is a little different with these reviews! And this one is no different!

The Master’s Hammer and Chisel – ISO Strength Chisel

March 5, 2016 allisonwhitman

Moving along with the Hammer and Chisel reviews (slowest pace ever, but they’re coming!), we have ISO Strength Chisel! This one’s description is “Full range-of-motion moves and isometric holds build strength and chisel fat for your leanest physique.” What does that mean? You’ll be sore tomorrow!
