backonpointe: Sorry for this, readers, but February’s a lighter month. Just the basic calendar, though you’re free to use an older calendar if you like the set-up, or use this to make your own. The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today. If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: February”. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let’s all support each other on our journeys! (If you’re not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page!) During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well. Have fun! p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you’re sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It’s all about you! Arms Lean Arms Workout v.1 Lean Arms Workout v.2 Tone Those Triceps!

New year, new calendar! Welcome to January 2013!

This month, Back On Pointe brings you three workout calendars: the basic version asks for one or two workouts a day, the student version asks for more while you’re on break or on the weekends, and the beginner calendar follows a 4 days on/1 day off plan. (If you’d like to make any plan a bit more challenging, add in HIIT for cardio on days of your choosing.)

Whatever plan you choose, and feel free to change whenever you’d like, the directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: January”.

Here we are at the last month of the year! Like November, you have four calendars to choose from: the basiccalendar like you’ve seen every month, a student calendar that asks you to work more on the weekends when you don’t have class, a beginner calendar that follows a 4 days on/1 day off program, and an extreme calendar that adds in HIIT for a more intense workout.

Whatever plan you choose, and feel free to change whenever you’d like, the directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

Just like the workout plans for August and September, Back On Pointe brings you workout plans for the month of October! However, unlike the past two months, October includes three different workout plans: a basic one like August and September’s, a student-focused one that asks for more workouts on the class-free weekends, and a beginner plan that follows a 3 days on/1 day off method.

Whatever plan you choose, and feel free to change whenever you’d like, the directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date to do. For example, if today is says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag BoP: October. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way.

I just took the 2012 election quiz and found that I side the most with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Who do you side with?

Nutella Fudge

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 whole milk
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup Nutella
2 1/2 cups – 2 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar


Directions:
Grease an 8×8 pan. Place the confectioner’s sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Melt butter over medium low heat. Add the milk and light brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then boil for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the vanilla and Nutella. Stir until the Nutella is melted.

Carefully pour the hot Nutella mixture over the confectioner’s sugar and mix quickly until completely combined. Once everything comes together, it will set pretty fast. Pour/scoop the fudge into your greased 8×8 pan. Press the fudge into the pan, if needed. Chill for 2 hours.

*One of my personal favorites. The fudge does turn out a bit gooey in consistancy (which is how I like mine) but if you prefer it a little more hard and solid try adding a little bit more powdered sugar.

lizardlinzo: In memory of those who died in the Aurora shooting at the Dark Knight Rises premiere. 12 dead and 59 injured, making it the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.Upon arrest, the shooter claimed that his apartment was booby-trapped. In his apartment, enough explosives were found to blow up not only his apartment, but several around.  Precautions are now being taken around every movie theatre across the U.S. More police officers are being placed to make sure no copy cats attempt another attack. Please, whatever your faith is, take a moment of silence, prayer, anything for the families and victims involved.
