One Month – Twelve Workouts: Video 7 of 12

I have a brand new feature on all my workout blogs that allows you to click on any piece of exercise equipment in the equipment list to buy it directly from Amazon.com. Most items qualify for free shipping, so you can shop from home on the cheap. I also have a widget in my sidebar that lists all the essential items that I use at home.

As you’ve probably already noticed, I’ve segmented all my workouts starting with Video 2 into two parts. After you’ve completed all 12 videos, feel free to mix and match any “#1” with a “#2” for a complete workout.

The videos below are the 7th installment in my series of 12 workout routines. The first video is the “lower-body” strength segment and the second video is the abs/core segment. We’ll be using the step for the first time today. If you don’t have a step, you can use any sturdy elevated surface.

You’ll need the following equipment to follow along with this routine:

• dumbbells
• Step Platform
• yoga mat or floor pad

I want to give a shout-out to my very good friend, Jay, who documented his ultimately failed attempt at following the Middle East Diet for 14 days. The video below is the recap of his 8-day diet blog. Jay accused me once of biting off his blog… he was totally right. I would have never started my fitness diary without his inspiration.
