S&S SWAG GIVEAWAY!!!! and oh yeah..Day 54: Core Synergistics...

S&S is back!!! The S&S duo is reunited once again with Sariah coming back from L.A. for all-star weekend. She recounts her experience fitting exercise while traveling while I struggle with getting physically out of bed. ; Today is "recovery" week for P90x but that just really translates to "Cardio week" for us—today being core synergistics.We fast-tracked it today not using the video and going off the core synergistics exercise list we have in our worksheet (seriously, Tony does a lot of talking) so it gets down to a 40-45 min workout. It was a jam-packed workout and felt energized afterwards.

Also on the video we announced our first ever...

S&S Swag Giveaway!!!

To show some love to our fit and fabulous friends here in blog/podcast land, we're giving away a stability ball (with dvd and exercise poster) and a water bottle (since we're always harping about drinking some H20). Very cool swag for all you cool people out there. And if you already have a stability ball, enter anyway! Give it to a coworker or friend who always talks about excercising yet drops the ball (ha!) on actually doing something about it. Either way - GOOD LUCK!

S&S Express Day 37: Konichiwa B*!#%&s!

After a busy saturday of work, an awesome concert with Robyn, and a girls night through the meatpacking district, we still manage to get up for a superbowl morning run/skate. ; Our initial plans to run a race were nixed due to work schedule so we get up EVEN EARLIER to run our own personal "race" in 20 degree temps and ice-filled paths.
Sorry for our lack of updating - we missed you guys too! Sariah jetted down to Miami for a few days and Sefa fell ill and forced herself to stay in bed and rest (and if you know sef - you know being immobile is HARD for her to do!) we'll be back soon though!
here are a few pics from our weekend:

Day 32: Back it up Back it up

We're back with Phase 2 Baby! Over the weekend, Sariah did some friend birthday celebratin while I jetted down to Florida for some R&R with my dad and my little pup, Dallas.

Because of lack of sleep from both our parts we skipped Monday and jumped back in the gym for week 5. Today's workout? We didn't know there was so many variations of a bicep curl but we did a ton of them. For pull/chin ups we got on the machines for lat pull downs while near the end of the workout, I finally attempts a few pull ups.. a few and pushed out 5. We wrap it up with ab ripper X and get day 32 in our books.

S&S Extra! Sneak Peek behind the scenes - "All About Sex"

So two weeks ago, Sariah shot her video for her new single "All About Sex" and guess who got to have a cameo? The other half of S&S- ME! heheheh.. thanks girl :) We just wanted to give you guys (all 19-20 of you followers lol) a sneak peek of the set and to see us made up a little (ok, made up a lot lol) with our hair did looking sasha fierce (make that Sariah lookin fierce!). Sure beats us in sweats/workout gear, half asleep in a gym studio. Here are a few pics from the day as well:

Gamers can work out too! Dancing on the xbox kinect

Sef here: I mean who says fitness can't be fun. Play Dance central after 30 minutes and let me know how you're feeling :) What a great party game too. I had an xbox dance battle showdown this past friday and it was ridiculously fun. From Poker face to Sean Paul's Temperature to Bust a move we all took turns at battling each other to see who could score the most points. We had to crack the windows from sweating so much lol. We ended the night with a couples boxing showdown on kinect sports that had us crying from laughter. Watching the wives box against their husbands was crazy funny - no surprise that the wives beat the husbands (no pun intended) 3-1.



That's me at the party attempting the hard level on Janet Jackson's control. sadness.. lol.



And me doing Poison when I first got the game and wingin it on the hard level. How this has managed to already get 6,000 hits on youtube just blows my mind lol.
