REVIEW: TYE4® – ABOUT.COM

See what About.com has to say about the Tye4®!

“The Tye4® is resistance training equipment that is worn on the body as a small harness with specially designed thin bungee cords that attach to the arms and feet. Originally developed for standing Pilates exercises, it helps improve balance and posture and has a wide variety of applications.

Balance and Resistance with Tye4®
What is so great about the Tye4® is that the lines of resistance feedback to the core of your body. This is a very Pilates approach to fitness. It’s an effect we get from much of the larger Pilates equipment like the reformer, but getting that direct feedback with something as portable as the Tye4 is unusual. For example, even exercise bands tend to pull oddly at the distant ends of our arms and legs as we use them in resistance training, and we have to use extra focus to make sure we are working from our core. The Tye4® is a more core-direct experience. It is also more stabilizing for the joints this way.This is not super resistance training that we are talking about. We are still in the realm of Pilates where we are more interested in core strength and stability than pumping up our muscles unnecessarily. Therefore, the bungee cords do not need to be very thick and the adjustable lengths are set to give just enough resistance to tone the muscles and activate the core. They can be crossed or held shorter to increase their resistance or stabilizing effect.The feedback the bungee cords provide also help the body figure out where it is in space, and how it needs to organize to maintain balance. There is a whole repertoire of standing Pilates exercises developed for use with the Tye4® to take advantage of the enhanced proprioceptive aspect of it. Dancers and Pilates teachers, of course take to it very naturally, but I can imagine that eventually it will be used to help many people who need extra balance training.”

Tye4@ INNER THIGH WORKOUT VIDEO

Strange thing:  The past 2 weeks, I have had a number of you ask  what you need to do to tone your inner thighs.  Funny that this seems to be a theme in my life right now, so I thought I’d help you out and give you some exercises that WILL TONE UP those thighs!  In this video, I am using a Tye4@ which I find to be so much more effective than doing the same exercises with body weight alone. Take a look…

TYE4® PILATES CLASS
This class will be a typical mat Pilates class, but I will integrate the Tye4 into every exercise making it a Pilates Reformer workout.  The Tye4 IS the reformer!  The adjustable bungees are like the springs.  The beauty of the Tye4…

  • ASSISTANCE.  Tye4 provides assistance for the exercises that tend to strain the neck or hip flexors or movements you don’t have the strength to do fully yet.  You will be performing exercises, like the teaser, that most people cannot do unassisted.
  • RESISTANCE.  The Tye4 will add resistance through a full range of motion that will challenge your muscles when called for.  You WILL feel it all over!  Working out using Tye4 is a very “Pilates way” of moving.
EXPECT LONGER, LEANER, TALLER, STRONGER!

EATING AT CHUYS! HEALTHY STYLE!!!

 
So naturally the Bensons went to Chuys to celebrate Elvis’ Birthday.
And YES we slow-carbbed it all the way!  This is how we did it…
 
We were eating mexican Tex-Mex food so our nice waitress brought out warm, freshly made chips, fresh salsa and the amazing CREAMY JALAPEÑO sauce.  What a sad moment for the slow-carbers. This guy was happy though… and he dove right in.
 
Taylor has decided to do a modified version of the Slow-Carb Diet.  I’m really proud of her.  She decided to do it because she want to have good eating habits, detox off of the December mentality (you know what I mean) and keep her body strong!  PROUD MAMA!  Anyway, she asked if she could have chips before the food came out. The answer was NO. This was her reaction.

 
After that moment we all can relate to, she said, “Ok, what CAN I eat?” Great question Taylor.
theANSWER…
Order beans to munch on while the others at your table are shoving their face with chips.  You can enjoy the salsa and even ask for a side of guacamole with it.
ourDRINKS
Water and if you miss the soda, order carbonated water and squeeze lemon or lime in it.
Jeremy does this all the time.  I just like plain water.
Did you know that Chuy’s has a Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Menu?  
theMEAL
I ordered fajitas. HOLD the tortillas 🙁
Tortillas, I will see you on Saturday! (cheat day)
Have the rice cut from your order —» they will give you double beans.
I love to have fresh limes to sprinkle over the top of my food. SO GOOD left me SO FULL
and SO HAPPY.
 
At the end of the meal I didn’t even miss the fact that I changed it up a bit!
If you need a kickstart into better eating habits, join us for the Advocare 24 Day Challenge!
Just shoot me an email and we will connect and figure out a plan that is perfect for meeting your goals!
