Ciclotte .

Designed by one of Milan’s leading designers, Luca Schieppati and made by the Italian Lamiflex Group, Ciclotte is like another piece of contemporary furniture in your home. Complementing your existing modern space, the gym-standard training machine is only 121 lbs, so it is easily movable from room to room.

The large wheel is the main focus of Ciclotte. Reminiscent of a 19th century monocycle wheel, the bike features sleek design elements such as the carbon handlebar, a touch screen display, and stylish supporting fins for stability.

It is designed to reproduce the dynamics and performance of road cycling and is ideal for high intensity spinning workouts. Ciclotte uses an epicycloid system, which works by generating a concentrated magnetic field using a copper ring that is rotated at a high speed in front of five magnets. The resistance is controlled via the touch screen.

 

Ciclotte is the evolution of the product Ciclò, an innovative prototype of a city bike-wheel, which after having participated in several international exhibitions is now part of the permanent collection on display at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan.

Isn't she a beauty!!???

One and only item on my Christmas list.

The healthy life.

Get some new kicks, a new fitness outfit, try a class you never have, drink your greens!

what is your fitness CHALLENGE?

Fitness challenges are the new social media trend. . . and I love it!

Currently myself and a group are participating in the AB challenge:

Day 1 has begun.

I am also considering this SQUAT challenge, posted by Rachel Roy, her attempt to get ready for the Met Gala. . . and she looked stunning that evening!

I am on the fence about doing 250 squats but. . . . that booty does look nice!

What is your Challenge? Juicing? Squats? Abs? Pushups? Meditation? Yoga? Bar Method?

GET ON BOARD!!!
Happy Friday

Tracy Anderson gives you LEGGINGS.

High-profile celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson is the go-to girl for a Hollywood figure, counting clients like Gwyneth Paltrow (her business partner), Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian and Madonna among her devoted fans. The hard-working, hard-bodied exercise expert has been expanding her empire to DVDs and studio spaces. Now she's adding clothing designer to her CV.


Anderson launched a line of leggings today to suit her clients' fashionable fitness needs. A blend of 85 percent nylon and 15 percent Lycra spandex, these non-chafing, sweat-wicking babies promise to support and flatter.

"They’re supportive, but not too supportive to where you can’t move and feel you can exercise properly," Tracy tells Women's Wear Daily. "When you’re exercising you’re supposed to be able to not feel constricted."

The high-end trainer's workouts don't come cheap, and these leggings fit in Anderson's sky-high price bracket. Patterned capri styles sell for $60 and Anderson's super-sleek solid pair with built-in waist-whittling goes for $125. All styles promise "absolutely no muffin top" and a slew of other slimming technologies -- "the butt of a 22-year-old stripper," perhaps?

Tracy plans to open a full clothing store in Los Angeles next to the exercise studio she co-owns with Gwyneth. WWD reports that t-shirts and sports bras are on the way as well.

Check them all out here.

Toned Calves!

I want ? or MUST HAVE??

Pro- Form's Le Tour De France - the ultimate.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.

Thank you Phil Jacob for the tip!

Inspiration!!!

I have been having a great summer and since my birthday in April. . . I would say I have been more indulgent than I have allowed myself to be in years.  While it has been great fun, I cant help but feel the tightness of my jeans and what is that a MUFFIN top? UGH.

I am refocued on my excericse combo of: BAR METHOD, Training 1x a week with Julie (PT), and as much cardio as I can get. + CLEAN, LEAN eating.  I started about a week ago and I am already feeling better, thank goodness!

MY INSPIRATION IS GWEN!! 

What will you be doing this weekend?

IF this isn't inspiration enough for your weekend, I dont know what it is!

GET UP AND GET ON IT!

Snack Ideas. . .

Keep them healthy and low in carbs.
Here is a list of go to ideas (with some inspiration from my friend Allison R.):

- Cheese & Apple

- Celery & Almond Butter

- Hardboiled or Deviled Egg

- Cottage Cheese- Tuna salad (no mayo) in lettuce cups (or use red & green cabbage as a cup for even more nutrients)

- Nuts

- String Cheese

- Hummus + Cherry Tomato, Baby Carrots, Celery, Red Pepper, Jicama (any raw vegi you like)

And try having a V-8 or juice your own.

Sometimes having success is making it easy to reach!

Enjoy a leaner you!

Get on with it. . . get FIT!

Drink half your body weight in water. . . if you weigh 200lbs you should drink 100 ounces.

Eat a lean & high protein diet.

Make the next 30days COUNT!

Tracy Anderson's 30-Day Method

I just ordered mine!

BRING IT T.A.!

DAY 10 OF 10!!!!

HATS OFF TO US!!!
Good job ladies on being committed to your bodies!

No matter where you were at before and where you at now - you took the time to focus and really hold yourself accountable.

The next time we do it you will be that much more ready!

Day 9 of 10!!

LET THERE BE LITE!! :) I hope you guys are feeling so fantastic.

I know I am!

Day 8 of 10!!

HOW WE DOING!!???
STAY WITH IT! Nothing better than a nice flat, strong tummy!

Day 7 of 10!!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

I know the weekends are tough - hard to stay in a routine.
With only 3days left I really encourage you to GO HARD!
I think I will go until FRIDAY - just to finish off the week solid.

No matter where you are at in this process (for some this is very hard, for some very easy) stay with it and really recognize yourself for being committed. HEALTHY FEELS AMAZING!

Day 5 of 10!!

HALF WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it!
The hardest part will be going into the weekend and keeping your focus. Do you what you have to but really try to eat lean - LOTS of veggies. If you go out for dinner try to stick with a lean fish and veggies - nothing has to be boring or taste bad. Work with it.

If you can - this weekend, go get a massage or get a facial - really pamper yourself and treat your beautiful body!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!! KEEP GOING!!!
Get out and get some fresh air!

4 of 10!!

CHUG THAT WATER!

If anyone has fallen off track a little just refocus and make sure you have everything you need at your finger tips. Get to the store and make sure!!

Day 3 of 10!!

Hopefully you are all feeling good and starting to turn a corner. The first few days are always the hardest.

Tonite, try to get to a steam room and really sweat - most gyms these days have them and if you are in the city you could treat yourself to Kabuki Spa. . . $25 for unlimited use of the baths and steams. I can spend hours in there!

I think you are all fantastic - dont give in!!!!

TIP: Add Coconut water to any smoothie, or just sip on it. I also use coconut oil to cook my chicken in, it tastes delcious and is so good foryou
