[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-02 AT 10:48PM (Est)[/font][p]Hi all!
Well, my second baby has just celebrated her first birthday, so I think I've officially lost my excuse for not being able to work out. Fortunately, I'm actually below my pre-pregnancy weight (all thanks to nursing), but unfortunately, I am so out of shape that I don't know where to start! I'd really like to get Cathe's new DVDs, but I haven't even done the last set that she came out with. I have a long way to catch up!
So my New Year's resolution is to be back to doing Cathe's step tapes with no problem, but I'm thinking that these will really be over my ability at this point. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to build back aerobic strength? Should I just start with a lower step and do what I can or build my aerobic strength through other ways (walking, stationary bike) and then bring on the step?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I was thinking about joining my local Y, but I don't know if that will give me the incentive that I need to get moving. I'm afraid that I'll make too many excuses on why I can't get there. I have 8 days left before I have to get started, so please help!
Have a great holiday!
Michele
