Cardio World: Fast Fitness Tips In 12 Fun Videos!
SHAREMy name is Alicia Marie, also known as The Cardio Girl! I have been writing about fitness and nutrition for a long, long time and it's no secret that I'm quite, er, energetic about the stuff that gets your heart pumping! I always knew where my life would lead me after I caught a glimpse of Wonder Woman in a random DC Comics issue at the age of 8.
I started competing in fitness competitions in 2002. Fast forward a few years, and I am now an IFBB Figure Pro, a model and a writer for Oxygen Magazine's "Ask Alicia." I just released my first fitness book, The Booty Bible.
Trailer: Cardio World

What is Cardio World?
Cardio World is what happens when you combine the brain of a fitness model/writer whose singular objective is to save the planet by teaching earthlings to be more healthy and fit with the mind of an imaginative producer named Todd Roy who agrees to aid in spreading her positive "message" one YouTube upload at a time. (Even though T-Roy has some gnawing suspicions about exactly who or what is ultimately delivering that message.)
Cardio World comes to you in the form of 12 Factual and Easy-to-Follow videos based from questions I received on Twitter and Facebook. They're full of advice made simple, funny and sometimes a little … weird? Yuuup!
The videos cover the Big Three: cardio, weightlifting and nutrition. Cardio, the oh-so-affectionate nickname for cardiovascular exercise, burns off excess calories and fat. Resistance training, or weightlifting, builds muscle for that tight, toned look. Nutrition supports fat burn and muscle building. You need all three in equal portions to create your best body.
Todd, the dude in the videos, is a regular, smart guy who really wants to get into crazy shape, but somehow his efforts always seem to get stymied by life events. Everyday things get in the way of his ability to truly "do it," Bodybuilding.com style. (Does that sound familiar to anyone?) Here's to hoping his work in Cardio World helps him sort his priorities!

Lol! I love Licia! She is funny, fit, beautiful, ENJOYS life, manages to look like THAT and still have a zest for life and be very dynamic and multi-faceted, she's MUCH SMARTER than your fitness model (check the resume..), she's got a tremendous professional reputation and list of accomplishments that involves more than just looking good in a bikini (although let's all admit... she DOES that.. WELL.), AND she is so sweet! Nice stuff hon! Keep doing what you do! You're the BEST.

These are FUNNY. And informative - yeah, in an elementary sort of way - but it's a great way to revisit the tried-and-true info that is usually delivered in a dry and super boring way. Can't wait for more!

Lighten up, It's entertaining if you shown this to 6 year old yea they would laugh but they wouldn't get it. Just because you are an adult doesn't mean you can't enjoy some silliness along with some good information. No wonder people are so angry these days if they think being an adult means being serious 100% of the time.
