Suzanne Bowen Download Info & Lemongrass Pork Chops Recipe



Today's Review: Stopwatch Plank 
Available on the Suzanne Bowen Fitness website to download or stream! Suzanne now offers a large variety of downloadable workouts on her website!! Head on over to get more info.


This is a 16 minute download available Suzanne Bowen Fitness. Suzanne leads this workout alone in a cute gym set. You won't need any equipment for this workout. The workout begins with some active marching to warm you up. Using a stopwatch to time each exercise, Suzanne leads you through a series of plank variations: isometric planks, plank knee pulls, hi plank, single leg plank, T stands, plank knee drops, and reverse plank. The workout concludes with a quick stretch. Suzanne provides excellent form pointers & motivation throughout this tough plank workout! I received this download to review.

  1. Just resurrecting (it is Easter after all!) this older blog post to say that we had this for dinner last night and it was super-yummy!

    My hubby substituted a tiny amount of granulated stevia for the sugar in the picked carrots and it worked just fine.

    Thanks for posting!
