Morning Maniacs -
This morning I did Kelly Coffey's NYC weighted totatl body workout. She uses 8's and 5's (I think) and the back cover says it is a high rep workout, but I wanted to get a good upper body workout in - so I used anywhere from 8 pounds to 17 pound dumbbells. I kept having to grab different poundages. She didn't use weights on most of the leg moves. I used weights on a few that she didn't and next time I think I'll have to do that in a couple more spots that I noticed. This was a pretty good workout with some new innovative moves and she kept moving so quickly throughout the workout - that even me who hates pauses - had to pause the DVD periodically to grab my weights or see how to do what move she was doing (since some of them are different). I think this was excellent biceps work in this DVD. She got them in a unique style too. I liked the biceps work the most. For the leg work, my HR was elevated to 136 and 155 at one time - so I would say this is slightly aerobic in some spots. It ended with lying ab work and a few short sets of lying leg work which I'll add more weight to next time. I held a weight on my leg for it today. I added a set of Firewalkers on the end also. I burned 360 calories and it took me about 65 minutes to complete the 55 minute workout.
I also did 30 minutes of Kundalini yoga last night.
Charlotte - If you didn't read the posts last night, check out the one pic of Josh I posted. He looks a little bigger. I joked that maybe he did P90X!!!
Good Luck to all of the P90Xers. I see we have some sore peeps checking in!! Way to Go!!
Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to check in from work later. I have a hair appt after work today. I'm just getting it trimmed, as I'm letting my hair grow. I hate getting my haircut this time of the year cuz my appt is all the way in another suburb and the traffic is horrid this time of the year around where I have to go.
