hello Bob Harper!!

Raise your hand if you watch The Biggest Loser...(raises hand)...I was addicted this season! I get so caught up in the personal lives of the contestants, the trainer techniques and the pound losses/gains. For those of you who DON'T know - gosh, you're missing out, Bob Harper is one of the trainers on TBL. He emphasizes balanced nutrition, cardio and strength training. He even practices yoga in his free time (swoon). So, when I stumbled upon his 2011 Monthly Bikini Workouts in SELF magazine, of course I had to pass them on.

Here it is, broken up by month: Bob Harper tells you what you need, shows you how to do it, and gives you tips and encouragement along the way. So whip out those bikinis girls, it's summer time!!

Keep us posted on your progress. Which exercises make your body feel the strongest? 

On your rest days (one day a week, of your choice), catch an episode of The Biggest Loser, it won't disappoint. Real people + real struggles + health (sweat, fitness, nutrition, and the best training team) = motivational entertainment that changes lives. 

PS. It's a shame Bob is already dating his TBL co-star Jillian Michaels, he sounds like a real catch!!
