Summer strong with Bowflex!

A few years ago, I just wanted to be  skinny and now I realize just how good it feels to be STRONG.

This former cardio queen is now weights obsessed and since I’m usually short on time, I like to create workouts that don’t require a full gym.  I focus on combination exercises,  such as squats to overhead press, because they give me a strength and cardio component. I was very excited to have these AMAZING Bowflex SelectTech® 552 dumbbells show up at my doorstep last week!   They are fully adjustable from 5 to 52.5 pounds by adjusting in 2.5-pound increments up to the first 25 pounds. This means I can do a full body workout pretty much anywhere! (No excuses!)  You can bet these are coming with me on our family beach vacation later this summer.

Here is a quick video of me doing squats to shoulder press so you can see just how easy they are to use:

Bowflex has created their Summer Strong Challenge to help us keep fit this summer while those kids are out of school!  Just 5 minutes is a day is all you need, check it out!
