Morning Fit Ladies -
This morning I did about 35 minutes of Seasun's Straight Up Step followed by Baron Baptiste's Unlocking Athletic Power. I kept my HR a bit lower today 70-80% of max. I was feeling a little lethargic and stiff anyway.
This Baron Baptiste DVD just doesn't click with me. I remember not caring for it last time I did it, but I gave it another chance. For some reason, it doesn't leave you feeling as good as Eion's 1/2 hour practice. My hamstrings are still tight and so are my hips. I wish I had some time to stretch or do yoga tonight, but I'm getting my hair cut after work and won't be home until late. I think the older you get, the more you need to stretch. I'm really starting to notice that a LOT lately. I was also supposed to do pilates for my abs, but forgot and was already getting ready for work when I remembered (again ..getting old).
Marietta - you asked what was causing my depression...I think it's a combo of my disease (always causes it), hormones and things have been really rough at work the last 2 weeks, as well as the few health concerns I've been having recently along with a constant migraine that comes with TTOTM. All of these health concerns coming up scares me cuz it reminds me that I'm not getting any younger. I watched my father suffer and die (a slow painful death) at the young age of 56. He had a rectal tumor attached to his spinal cord and was terminal from day 1 (no lasers back in the 70's). The cancer spread through him over a 1.5 year period. He went from 180 pounds to 70-80 pounds before he died. He had a strong heart...so he didn't die quickly. Sorry for rambling....I guess I'm just a bit emotional lately.
Diana Sue - I'm pretty sure you can skip thru the exercises on the Jari Love's. I think I have before, but really can't remember for sure. I either do that or jog in between. I'm used to doing that cuz I never like to take breaks and Tony takes breaks in his workouts to when I do Beach Body. You never bought the Power Half Hour DVDs, did you? I've been thinking about working them into my rotation.
Have great workouts everyone and hello to everyone. I'll try to check in from work. I should be able to cuz my boss is supposed to be off today...but we're not sure if she's just telling us that and then will show up (she's done that before).
