Morning Fitness Maniacs -
Yay ....it's Friday. I didn't hear my alarm go off AGAIN....what is wrong with me? I wanted to do weights and cardio! I was gonna do Amy's All Pump but didn't have time to drag everything out, so I did Minna Lessig's One Minute Workout. It's a DVD full of 100 minutes or so of weighted exercises and it has a matrix where you choose if you want a beginner or advanced workout and the length of time you want to work out and which body parts. Each time you do this, it gives you exercises in a totally different sequence so you never do the same workout twice. I set mine for a 50 minute total body workout....but something must have happened, cuz I was still going at 1 hour and 10 minutes. I don't know if it was cuz I skipped an exercise or 2 and then it took me off of the programming or if I just hit next and started repeating the workout. So, I finally just quit and did the cool down and stretch. I jogged in between exercises to keep my HR up since I had no time for aerobics.
Diana Sue - Yes, the newest pack of Turbo Jam are supposed to be more advanced. I've only done the 1/2 hour interval one (which was very good) and about 15 minutes of Punch,Jam and Kick. If I remember correctly, I believe Chalene wanted to relase them as somewhat easier workouts in the beginning to have everyone learn the moves and then she's supposed to make each set progressively harder. She did mention somewhere that she decided to make a few 30 minute workouts because that's all people can fit in sometimes and if you want a longer workout, you can just repeat sections. Also, regarding the danciness of them - if you really don't like to shake it, or if you feel like you're in a more "athletic" mood that day, you can just leave that booty shakin' suff out and still get a good workout. There is something about her intensity and the way she tells you to really get down into the punch that makes your HR really elevate. I count on TurboJam for my intense Kickboxing!
Hi to everyone else. It's Friday and it's pay day, so I don't know if I'll be able to check in too much from work today.
Susan - regarding working out with a red face....I workout in my living room, and I turn the heat down to 66 before I start working out. I'm extremely light skinned and I have porcelain skin. I turn red very easily when I'm upset or hot. My skin is also very sensitive and turns red from other irritations.....so I always thought that's why I turn so red.
Have great workouts everyone!
