Even the products are original to the time period.

This was his fourth appearance with Conan (3 on The Tonight Show) and I've gone to all of them. But there was something about that 3 foot razor blade coming down on Conan's stomach...that made it hard for me to stomach. But, I know Steven knows what he's doing so I let it go and just squinted my eyes until it was done.

If you missed it, here’s the clip…

If you missed it on Monday, my husband made a guest appearance on The Bachelor. Steven directed and coordinated action scenes for their group date on episode #3 (starts around 16 min)...and by the way, that's a fitted MIMI & COCO top from Anita Cavallo's (my sister-in-law) line that Shawntel is wearing in the last explosion scene.

As you may or may not know, my husband Steven was a regular on the former Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien - the initial news in January of NBC's decision took us all by surprise. Conan and his entire staff were nothing less than amazingly gracious to our family every time Steven was on, and I'm thrilled that they all found a new home at TBS. 
Here's a clip of Steven putting Conan through stunt training - it was the last stunt segment (and most nerve wracking for me) they did with the NBC show.

If you live in Los Angeles then you most likely watch or have seen GOOD DAY LA (LA's #1 morning news show) with Steve Edwards, Jillian Barberie, and Dorothy Lucy. Suzanne Marques is one of my besties and reporters on the show. Here's a recent segment she did with my husband Steven where she literally rolls with the punches...

Here's an excerpt from Steven's Blog that I've incorporate into my regular workout.  I've always admired the bodies of female sprinters and thought you guys might find this helpful...particularly after the Holidays. 


Posted in FITNESS & TRAINING TIPS on December 4th, 2009 by Steven Ho

“Family in town”, “Waiting to lose some weight before I go to the gym” “End of the year crunch”, “Too hungover”, “Waiting to start next year”, “Traveling a lot”, “Parties to go to”, “There’s a football game on”… I know.  I KNOW.


I’ve heard all the excuses and have used many of them myself.  The Holidays are arguably the most challenging time to maintain your fitness regime.  But unfortunately our bodies are not sympathetic to our busy lifestyles and schedules.


When I find myself limited on time, my go-to exercises are jump roping (which I’ve talked about in a previous entry) and SPRINTING. Unlike jogging or walking, sprinting (or fast running) will challenge and engage your entire torso and even arms (I’m trying to avoid the “core” word because I’m sure you’re all sick of this buzzword by now).


20-30 minutes of intense sprinting is a fantastic way to maintain your fitness level until your schedule opens back up.  And once you have more time to dedicate to yourself, this routine will be an excellent addition to your regular fitness regime.


If you’re indoors on a treadmill, here is the cycle that I personally use. Obviously you will have to select a speed that you feel matches your health and fitness level.


SPRINTING CYCLE


Stretch


5-10 minute warm-up.  Select a speed that will bring you to a light jog.


1-2 minute(s) of intense sprinting. Select a speed that you would chose to run if a hungry, carnivorous dinosaur were chasing you.  As a gauge, my personal clients who are in good shape will run at speeds from 8.0 – 12.0 for this duration.


1-2 minute(s) of walking.  If you sprinted for a minute, take a minute walk.  If you sprinted for 2 minutes, take a 2 minute walk.


Repeat the sprinting cycle 5x.


5-10 minutes of light to fast job.


Cool down walk.
