I recently got a bunch of DVDs from Acacia Catalog to review and Hemalayaa’s Bollywood Booty was the first one I tried.  I’ve always been a fan of Bollywood and Bhangra music so I knew that I would like this.  The workout is pretty easy, but then again I’ve been doing Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred for a couple months now, so I think any workout is doable from that point.

The workout is 45 minutes long if you go the whole way through, but you can pick out of the 4 workouts and do them individually.  In my opinion, you’re better off with doing the whole 45 minutes because it’s really fun and you don’t even realize you’re working out.  It’s more like you’re dancing like in the Bollywood movies!  I found myself cramping up a little bit but as I took deep breaths they went away.  I don’t know if its just me, but I find myself not taking deep breaths like I should.  I really enjoyed the workout, and it’s a change from the crazy rigorous Jillian Michaels workouts I’ve been doing.

If you’re interested in checking it out, you can buy Bollywood Booty on Amazon.com or on the Acacia Catalog website.

I decided to find a clip of Hemalayaa and I found this video where she’s on the Ellen Degeneres show.  I heart Ellen because she’s so funny, she seems so down to earth, and I love her dancing. I also think Hemalayaa is gorgeous and I love her hair.

So for the past few days or so I’ve been trying some new snacks and I just wanted to review them all in one post. I love trying out new food and all the better if I enjoy it a lot. Some things were not my ‘cup of tea,’ but it’s better to try and find out rather than not try and never know, right? So here goes.

I found out about Chobani from a bunch of food/fitness blogs that I read and I must say, Chobani absolutely rocks! I got a response from them with the quickness and they sent the yogurt when they said they were going to, which was the day after I heard from them!

Chobani was nice enough to send me a bunch of different flavors to try.  My first taste of Chobani was the Strawberry flavor.

The yogurt is really smooth and creamy and really yummy.  There is some sugar in the yogurt, but is 0% fat free. If you ever tried Fage yogurt, it’s kind of the same texture, but in my opinion, Chobani isn’t as thick, which I like.  I also tried the Apricot flavor, and I love that one, so far.  I still have more flavors to try!

The nice people at EAS Myoplex sent me this a few weeks back, and I have too much food in my house and only got a chance to try this stuff recently. I really enjoyed the bars, but the drink was a bit too much for my taste. To each his own, I guess. If you’re kind of hungry and you’re about to work out, the bars are a great power booster, and has a blend of high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

I tried a couple bars over the weekend, Balance Bar in Honey Peanut and the Larabar in Chocolate Coconut Chew and both are yum. I enjoyed the Balance Bar the most. It tastes like a candy bar! The Balance Bars have 9g of protein and wholesome ingredients. There are a bunch of different types and a variety of flavors!

The Larabar has an interesting combination of Fruit and Nut, and Coconut, and to be honest I wanted to enjoy this one more. Each bar has 1 serving of fruit, no sugar and each flavor has no more than 6 ingredients. Larabar has a bunch of different flavors which I am looking forward to trying though!

Can you believe all these pictures were taken with my iPhone?
