Are we THAT out of shape? Heck no! We just had a good kick-booty workout. Yes, even in 3 minutes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">If you have tried everything to lose weight, or try and stay fit and nothing seems to be working and it's hard to find that time every day to lose weight, then Burst Training might be for you (actually it's for everyone, even kids, but this might be even more appealing to you).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Burst training is highly effective in burning fat (and keeping it off) and retaining lean muscle.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">There is the myth out there that in order to have a good, healthy workout you have to be active for a certain period of time (e.g. half hour a day - or whatever). This isn't necessarily true. What's important is the </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" >quality </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">of the workout - not the </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" >quantity</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Think of a cross country runners body that you see on the Olympics for example. They tend to be more thin and trim compared to track sprinter's body (more muscle tone) - the sprinter's workouts are based on the burst idea - work out for shorter spurts but with great intensity.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EoZJ4emH6tE/SkpDAD0eD7I/AAAAAAAAAi8/tZFOLW-2nGU/s1600-h/burst+pic1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 281px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EoZJ4emH6tE/SkpDAD0eD7I/AAAAAAAAAi8/tZFOLW-2nGU/s320/burst+pic1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353164775387697074" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EoZJ4emH6tE/SkpDEN7nukI/AAAAAAAAAjE/VPVK5zGfBKc/s1600-h/burst+pic2.jpg"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 195px; height: 264px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EoZJ4emH6tE/SkpDEN7nukI/AAAAAAAAAjE/VPVK5zGfBKc/s320/burst+pic2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353164846821521986" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Under<span style="font-family: arial;"> the encouragement from our friends, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><a href="http://healthyoates.wordpress.com/" target="blank">Nathan & Jenni Oates</a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">, Zach and I signed up to take their Burst Training that they lead, here in the Nashville area. You sign up, do sessions with them and then the coolest thing is THEY EQUIP YOU TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN, so you aren't bound to paying a trainer or going somewhere every time you want to work out.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">What are the hangups sometimes to working out?</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">1. Costs too much (gym membership, trainer, etc)</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">2. Have to actually GO somewhere to work out (gym, track, etc)</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">3.

Jody, not so much ;). On their wedding day I think we were one of the most thrilled people to be at the wedding and celebrating their marriage!

Yes, it's true. Raw & uncut :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">A month and a half ago I (Jody) was asked by my super cool and amazing stylist, Korie, to be a hair model for </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.neill.net/realunplugged/artists.php" target="blank">The REAL Unplugged Tour</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> by Aveda coming to Nashville, TN on May 31st. Korie was asked to be one of the four featured local Nashville artists to demonstrate her mad skills on stage to those in attendance and I was glad to accommodate!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The process began two days before with the SUH-WEET Korie cutting only a little of my hair, and then color was done by the AMAZING Valerie. Val is an ARTIST when it comes to color and is THE color stylist you have to see if you want amazing color - whether you want to go for the funky look, or natural and stunning.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Val also does makeup and here she is the morning of the event working her magic on my face.</span><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0003-49.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0005-47.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We waited in the wings as stylist & educator, </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://tristinmorrison.com/" target="blank">Tristin Morrison</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> shared with the attendees as well as demonstrated his own skills and techniques (never knew hair cutting was so complex!!).</span><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0006-45.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Then it was time for us to go up in front of the crowd of over 400 Aveda hair stylists!</span><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0007-42.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0009-36.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Korie working her magic...</span><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0010-35.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Getting ready to chop my bangs - gulp!</span><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0011-30.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The MC complimenting my "beautiful eyes" and interviewing Korie about the techniques used.<br /><br /></span><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0012-26.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The great unveiling!<br /><br /></span><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0013-25.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="font-family: arial;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0015-25.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And now some close up photos of the art of Korie & Valerie taken in the lobby!

Call </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.unruli.com/" target="blank">Unruli</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> salon in Franklin, TN (an Aveda concept salon) and the stylists there are trained to give you what you are looking for and what looks best and most flattering on you. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I never realized how complicated hair could be until I started listening to Tristan speak and Korie explain the different cutting styles that she was doing on my hair. REAL stylists pay attention to not only your face shape, but body type, how much change you are looking for (or not!), how well you take care of your hair, what you like and/or don't like about your current hair, and so many other factors and then they give you a cut that fits YOU. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All that to say, Korie & Val are absolutely amazing, and Uli who owns </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.unruli.com/" target="blank">Unruli</a><span style="font-family:arial;"> salon is a master of hair himself and a great man as well.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So for those of you who desperately need a change... you now know where to go - I did it and so can you! :)<br /><br />Thanks for reading!</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.unruli.com/" target="blank"></a></span>Gray Photography - Zach and Jody - Nashville Wedding Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09357367615890649444noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353210125598804043.post-52636052876233483132009-06-08T08:00:00.004-05:002009-06-30T23:47:26.287-05:00A Nashville Wedding - Simon + Erin - Sneak Peek!<span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Brouilletj/0041-4.jpg" /><br /><br />About a month and a half ago we had the privileged of meeting a really wonderful couple.

The camera also has many other cool new features that the old cameras do not have and all for a relatively low price in comparison to other cameras on the market.
