FabFitFun Winter VIP box-unveiled!

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Lent has started. How ya doin'?

I'll tell ya how I'm doin'-I'm clickin' right along on my goal of training for a few marathon and triathlon events this year!

As if it wasn't already fun, enter the FabFitFun Winter VIP box.

I unveiled it on YouTube already-but today I want to share the Zuma dvd that is in the box and is mixing up my tri training. It's so fun! I love going to a Zumba class but there are not any in my area. Yes, I live in the sticks!

See that bottom right corner of this photo. That's the Zumba dvd-I've done it twice and I love it. There are about a dozen or so "music video" clips that are simple to follow.

Here is my FabFitFun Winter VIP box unveiling on YouTube. (p.s. I got my Winter box last week...boo boo the delay!)



For those of us who have been doing sprints, distance, and Zombies! Run! - this is just one more fun way to get the FitBit steps in.

Are you using FitBit? I'm on it. Love it. If you are too-add me! Let's encourage each other!

As Lent has begun, stay pure and modest in your thoughts and actions!
See you at the starting line!

Too much triathlon training got ya stiff? Get ZIM's!

 Hello Gorgeous and happy friday!
If you are on Twitter, it's #FF (Follow Friday) I'm @Cherelynn, follow and I'll give ya a follow back!

Now see this lovely trio of products? Let's all just thank God for these right now because I have been gone on spring break with my son. Yes, we swam, and ran, and played and walked a circle in Legoland that seemed like 100 times or more! But that's not why I show you these.




It's triathlon and race season in Arizona and I love to do a tri to keep my girlish figure and because I am bullishly competitive.

So instead of being gentle on myself and easing back into training I promptly ran 6 miles, biked 20 and then did my Insanity dvd. Twice.

Ouch. Wince. Ouch. Burn. Sting!

These came as samples to the blog but I had no idea I would be testing them so soon and in such need! I know. I know. Massive workouts and over training is how you get injured ( ask me how I know) and doesn't speed up the endurance and strength test of a body any faster than spacing out workouts with the much needed and required rest time in between.

What can I say? I'm a grip and rip it kind of gal.

Zim's Max-Freeze organic ilex, aloe and arnica with vitamin e and tea tree oil is a greaseless with vanishing scent gel formula that feels amazing on the top of the thigh after too much biking. I put it on my bum over my bike shorts to cool down my aching bottom!

The Max Heat is for arthritis and stiffness relief in muscle or joints. So I don't have arthritis but I sure do have stiffness in my calf muscles! Especially my right calf that was torn last year. I love the roller ball applicator because I can dig in to the muscle and massage the heat relief in.

Zim's crack creme is a unique herbal skin care spray with arnica and myrcia oil. It's a liquid that you spray on to a cracked cuticle and it's a fairly quick relief and barrier to a throbbing pain. I have cracked cuticles for many reasons but not as severe as a cement worker which is why the product was developed over 60 years ago.

Zim's thank you for sending these samples! They helped tremendously! To restock myself I'm going to get mine on the Zim's website, though you can also put in your zip code to find a retailer near you.  All of the products are in the $10 or under range. Not bad for fast pain relief!

The Best Skin Care Routine For Your Age

If you're still using the same harsh cleanser from your high school days, it's time to rethink your skincare routine

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care article When it comes to a skincare routine, many of us stick with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Trying several new products on our skin runs the risk bad results, like breakouts, dryness, and redness. But what worked for your skin at age 13 isn't necessarily what's best for you skin in your 20s, 30s, and 40s. We talked to New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD, and Olga Lorencin, esthetician and co-owner of Kinara Spa in Los Angeles. They filled us in on which skin products are the best for you in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. Check out their tips for getting the best complexion at every age. Read advice

NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder & Beauty Bursts: for triathlons & red carpets

Hello Gorgeous!
Shabbat Shalom to you and let's all just thank God it's Friday! It's good to be home! Now, back to my strict triathlon training. It was fun to spend the week enjoying all the treats and tastes of fancy that my tongue desired. Problem is, now my clothes are snug and my first run was slow-and that's putting it kindly!

I am using NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder and NeoCell Beauty Bursts Gourmet Collagen Soft Chews as part of my training to help strengthen ligaments and prevent tendon injuries. It's so simple to work the supplements into my daily diet and exercise routines.

Plus, the chews taste amazing. The pills are a medium size-so not a horse sized pill put not a small one either-just about in between. As a person who has trouble swallowing pills, even I can swallow them.

I recommend that for anyone who does a sport, is concerned about beauty from the inside out, getting ready for the red carpet or just wants to take care of themselves better to try a collagen supplement. You'll be glad you did!

If you could would you please visit the NeoCell website for more information on the product? There is so much good stuff that I figured it would do the product justice just to send you to the website! Enjoy!

p.s. if neither of these is a fit for you-just get the liquid hyaluronic supplement-so good!

Zagorra Hot Pants: hot and worth it for Zumba or triathlon training

6 Eyebrow Growth Treatments that Reverse Years of Tweezing

Big, bold brows are officially here to stay. See how you can embrace the trend -- even if your brows are wimpy

This is a TotalBeauty.com beauty products article Back in the 90s, when the goal was cool to tweeze your brows into oblivion, most of us zealously over-plucked. Now that bold brows are back we're all looking for a quick -- and bushy -- fix. These six brow growth treatments are it. Get full brows

Hello Gorgeous! I have been testing my Zagorra hot pants for over two weeks now and enjoying the hot and sweaty results! At first it took me a bit to get used to the added drag on my legs while running and biking and also at Zumba class. But-then I began to notice a firmer texture in the skin on the nether region as well as a loser pair of Zagorra hot pants. There are many fun colors and sizes to choose from and if you are needing a boost to your holiday training regime to keep the candy and cakes from sticking to your hips and derriere, then order some today.

http://zaggora.com/ 

Zaggora wanted to dig deeper, though, so put HotPants to the test to show exactly what the “Hot” in HotPants means for you.

Testing

Zaggora commissioned independent research on the effects of HotPants at the Chelsea School of Sport, University of Brighton, who compared HotPants to a standard fitness-wear garment when worn during 30 minutes of exercise.
They measured their weight loss, core and skin temperatures, and energy expenditure. The women exercised at an intensity that was appropriate for most people that may carry out light training in the gym to make the “exercise reasonably demanding but not exhaustive.”

Key results

The research revealed:

• HotPants increase the effectiveness of exercise over 30 minutes
• HotPants increased the metabolic rate in the hour after 30 minutes of exercise
• HotPants increase energy expenditure in the resting stage after exercise
• The core temperature of each subject was increased when wearing HotPants
• Thermal sensation was significantly greater, but comfortable, in HotPants

Thank God it's Friday! Time for episode 2 of Makeup University web series
