With all of the holiday and work related hustle and bustle I can’t always make it to the gym, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still working my body. When I can’t get to the gym there are still lots of ways to work up a good hot sweat. This chin up bar is one of my favorite home workout tools and if you use it like I do, it also makes a great play tool too!

           I have a new chin up bar and I love it. It’s a great piece of equipment to hang in your home and enjoy for so many different uses. Where else can you find a piece of equipment that allows you to work your back, shoulders, arms , abdominal, allows you to stretching your muscles and can also be used as a sex swing?  Just think of the possibilities! xoxo Denise

   After my walk this morning it was off to the gym for my arm workout which included, 9 sets of curls and 12 sets for triceps. Who doesn’t love a woman with strong arms and a really good grip! xoxo Denise

 I mailed in my vote this morning because I won’t be in Florida on election day and then proceeded to do my cardio to start my day properly. It was a great way for me to start my day, and I highly recommend that all Americans do the same. Besides you never know what you will discover during your walk. Just look at what I found <smile> xoxo Denise

 Last week was a fast and furious week filled with some very exciting high points that I wanted to share with you. I spent a good portion of my Monday preparing for a shoot I was doing on Tuesday for the Playboy TV show ”69 sexy things 2 do before you die”. On my segment I trained a hot, fun loving couple on the benefits and joys of working out, by designed a sexercise routine specifically designed to help them  build up all of their love muscles. As a professional bodybuilder and erotic fitness model and personality, I’ve spent most of my adult life training and talking with people about the benefits of a balanced, fit and active lifestyle, both in the gym and out. So when I got the call from Playboy for a workout, I was all over it. From partner assisted stretches to my signature 69 push ups, my sexcercise routine is all about getting a good workout, connecting with your partner (for the right kind of motivation) and having fun! Stay tuned for more info on when the show is scheduled to air, along with more sexy sexercise tips from your very own erotic fitness trainer. - Denise

I’m six weeks away from my next big photo shoot, so training is a top priority. That means two rounds of aerobics and approximately 45 minutes of weight training per day.

 Living lean is an essential part of staying healthy. But what about living lean and doing it in a way that also makes you green, so that you can benefit in more ways then one! Daily walks are a great way to burn fat and work your heart and lungs. But by walking to do my errands instead of driving, I also get to save money on fuel and lower the carbon emissions that would other wise be polluting our skies. How I stay Lean and Green: I like to start my day with a 45 minute walk. I do this on an empty stomach because lower blood sugar levels helps my body tap into stored fat for energy faster, thereby burning more fat. While I’m out, I run errands like grocery shopping and going to the post office and by making my errands a part of my walk route, I’m able to get multiple benefits. I burn fat, do my errands, save money and keep the planet healthy too. Now that’s what I call living lean and green.

Dear Diary, When a long time buddy and member decided to share the details of a list of benefits assoicated with Vitamin “D” in an email he sent me, I thought he was being his cute and talking about me. But, after reading his email, I quickly realized that he was talking about Vitamin D, not Vitamin Me <smile>. Anyway, Im all about passing on useful, healthy information so, here it goes.  Oh and by the way, don’t forget that a daily dose of me is good for you too. To illustrate that fact, I’ve added my own list of benefits! <smile/wink> ….Denise

Vitamin D (ie, our skin’s response to Sunshine) is a miracle drug:

1. lowers risk of many cancers
2. lowers depression
3. prevents osteoporosis
4. combats heart disease
5. protects against diabetes (and therefore kidney failure, vision loss, and even foot amputation)
6. prevents heart attack and stroke

My list of Vitamin “D” benefits (D being for Denise of course

• lowers the risk of many cancers - especially prostate cancer, after all studies show that coming once a day keeps the prostate healthy.

• lowers depression - making you smile is my ultimate goal!

• prevents osteoporosis - no wasted boners around me, and thats a promise!

• combating heart disease - by getting your heart rate up at least once a day.

• protects against diabetes - I like to keep the sugar all natural so that diabetes is never an issue.

• And, finally, heart attacks are unacceptable but strokes, now thats a different story!

Every now and then I am amazed and saddened by the kind of negativity and anger I observe, sense, or come across in every day life. It always makes me wonder about where people have been and why they act the way they do. And in fact, I dont think a lot of people are actually even aware of what kind of energy they put off. Watching television last night I came across a show on wellness and longevity that got my attention and is something I want to share with you. One of the things mentioned on the show, was the power of positive thinking and how studies show that pessimists don’t live as long as optimists do. Not to get overly philosophical here, but, lets say that being optimistic or positive doesn’t necessarily increase the number of years in your life. Wouldn’t it still be fair to say that being positive and optimistic probably does improve the life in your years?  The best part of the message for me was the fact that people do have the power to change. Negative or Positive, we all get to choose what we put out, which also means we get to affect what we get back. Here’s to exercising all of your personal power, both physical and mental!  Have a great weekend. Denise

 Everybody loves the idea of having a flat stomach and maybe even a hint of some tight hard abs. The biggest compliment’s I’ve gotten have been from women who say they love the look of my obliques, so here is my recommended abdominal workout. Do this workout twice a week.
3-4 Sets of lying leg raises for 20-30 reps per set.
3-4 Sets of Crunches - 20-30 reps per set
3 Sets of Seated twists with your knees together for a total of 20-30 reps.
