Curvy Goddess Workout – Crystal Series #3: Intro, Part I and II [Video]

by Diane on October 7, 2009

Welcome Back to Plus Size Workout Online, Curvy Goddess! The premier spot for information on creating a healthy lifestyle designed for you, The Goddess with Curves! Make sure to download the FREE 2 chapters of The Curvy Goddess Fitness Guide NOW! Thanks for visiting again!



Welcome to NYC Personal Trainer Curvy Goddess Workout on video. This is Week #3 of the Crystal Series. Each video is approximately 10 minutes long. I have a natural pace on the videos but I want you to focus on your natural pace. Don’t try to keep up with me. I want your movements to be conscious and controlled, making sure that you’re in touch with what you’re feeling when you’re doing the movements.

For this week let’s increase the frequency to 4-5 days/week with both Part 1 and 2. You may do the workouts everyday if you wish. Don’t be preoccupied with having to take a day break to rest body parts etc. etc. They are 10 min. long — very short and sweet. The focus for the Crystal Series is to get the body used to just moving again — how it’s designed to do.

Fat Burning Video – Part 1:

  • Resistance Band – Medium
  • Pair of Dumbbells (3-5 lbs)
  • Chair or Workout Bench

Exercise #1: For this week you’re going to learn how to do a squat. Have a bench or chair behind you. Bend down and back like you’re about to sit on the chair but don’t. Just lightly touch it with your butt. Stand Up bringing the arms up when you stand up. (You may intensify the movement by holding the dumbbells.)

Exercise #2: Wood Chops – Holding one dumbbell with both hands. Get into a wide-leg stance and bring your upper half through the legs then reach high up, feeling extension in the spine.

Exercise #3: Standing Resistance Band Rows (Stand in the middle of bands to secure in place. Cross the handles and bend over pulling back and squeezing the shoulder blades together.)

You want to go through the 3 exercises back-to-back to keep heart rate up for fat burning and cardiovascular results.

Equipment Needed:

Firming Video – Part 2:

  • Mat
  • Pilates Ring

Exercise #1: Inner Thigh Squeezes with Pilates Ring in a table top position
Exercise #2: Push-up Position (on your knees) Holding just for about 20 sec. NOT THAT LONG
Exercise #3: Bridges keeping Pilates Ring between the Thighs
Exercise #4: Taps (Bring Knees into Chest – Alternating)

I fully intend on trying all of these…I find myself not having time to go to the gym, so just staying home and doing these exercises would be great!
