I’m outta here for a few days as I head to Baltimore for the FitBloggin’ conference! I will be speaking about how to pitch stories to traditional media at this session. Can’t wait to meet up with those of you who are going to be there. And for those of you not going, I will see you back here Monday!

[Disclosure: I received a complimentary sample of this product. My policy is to only post giveaways about products I honestly like, or those I think FatFighterTV members would enjoy.]

I don’t know what it is about fitness equipment, but it always seems to entice me to workout – maybe because all the different pieces keep things so interesting. That’s why I’m loving Gaiam’s new Fat-Burning Bootcamp Kit. It comes with a balance disk, medium resistance cord, and a 4-6 pound weighted water ball. Plus the DVD in the kit has more than 25 workout options!

You can burn up to 300 calories in 30 minutes with the workouts. They combine resistance, balance, and cardio. I really like how you can choose the exercises by time, body target (upper, lower, abs, all over), or shuffle for a random workout all from one DVD. I also love that Gaiam’s products are all eco-friendly.

Want to give the new Gaiam Fat-Burning BootCamp Kit a try? Up for grabs this week, two FatFighterTV members will each get one!

To enter for a chance to win, just head down to the comments and tell me what your favorite type of workout is – cardio? Strength training? Balance training? Something else? Me – lately, it’s been cardio, but it tends to change from time to time.

See you in the comments!

Contest runs through midnight EST this Friday, March 12, you have to have a U.S. mailing address to enter, and we will use random.org to pick the winners.

You can also order the Gaiam Fat-Burning Bootcamp Kit from my Amazon store here.

The Expo at The Arnold Sports Festival was absolutely packed – like when there is a wreck on the highway and traffic is at a standstill. But I managed to snap a few pictures of some of the many interesting things going on. Enjoy!

Want to spend less time working out and burn more calories? Interval training could be your answer. I love doing intervals. And now, researchers say more people might be able to handle the intense exercise sessions than they once thought, but more studies are needed before they can recommend interval training more widely.

Do you do intervals when you exercise?

Reviews of running shoes like this one always get my attention. But news that the best “running shoe” may be going barefoot is even more enticing. Researchers from Harvard University say runners who wear shoes tend to hit the ground with their heels first, but barefoot runners put the balls of the feet down first, which may make them less likely to seriously injure their feet.

It’s the workout that turned Kelly Ripa from puny to buff. Now, Rebecca from Does This Blog Make Us Look Fat? thinks she’ll do the Physique 57 workout DVD herself… or as Golden Dream Barbie. Yep, you gotta check out her wacky fantasy brain here.
