Hi Ladies -
This morning I AGAIN pulled out my Pam Cosmi Steppin' Rhythm DVD and did the warmup and block 2 and then I continued on with block 3 for my cooldown. I then did Power Half Hour (Beachbody) Stretch which is like stretch yoga.
After doing this DVD again, I have a tiny, tiny bit of hope that some day I'll be able to do it fairly well. I don't think I'll ever get it to the point of being able to end up on the correct side of the step or foot though! After doing these blocks though, I see that this will be SO much fun after you learn it. It has a lot of syncopated rhythms and I sorta like those. At least I didn't trip over my own two feet and sprain my ankle this week. I guess this will continue to be my Saturday aerobics session every week instead of a rest day until I learn it and then I can start taking rest days!! How's that for a goal??? I've still not taken one since October!! but today's session was only moderate ....so it's semi rest in my eyes!
Have great workouts everyone. I'm VERY happy it's the weekend and I have Monday off. No thoughts of that place until Monday. I also have my appt. with the ENT specialist on Monday. My DH is going with me in case he discusses surgical options with me.
Dallas - Yes, I have Brand New Butt....both of them. I haven't done them in ages, but from what I remember, they were hard (back then - but that was pre-Cathe) and I thought they were okay. Butt and legs are my problem area and I really should work them more than I do....maybe I'll have to break that one out in the near future when I finish my TLT/Firm Rotation and before I start another rotation. Let me know what you think of EFM. It is a workout that uses a lot of body weight exercises (sort of like Core Synergestics) and I think that's why I dislike it....cuz I'm not allowed to do body weight exercises with my injury and have to do pushups on the wall and she does this segment of pushups with paperplates under your hands sliding them and then pushups with them under your feet doing sliding mountain climbers. It's just a very hard one to modify. Also - what did the doctor say is wrong with your foot? I never saw you give a reason why you're having pain. Speaking of foot pain, these Saucony shoes are the best! I didn't wear them this week and my plantar fasciitis started acting up....so I must start wearing them again. They are really good for that! (you also asked me about what happened at work - basically, my boss called me in her office and actually had a sit down meeting with me telling me that I go to the restroom too often and I must have a problem so she wants a note from my doctor -- it's quite ridciulous - so I called my Hourly Rep and reported it to HR). She's not allowed to do this according to them. NOw she's being really mean to me cuz they talked to her about it.
Sorry for the length. I think we're going to see Firewall and Date Movie this week. I have no idea what they are about. My DH picked them and I have to go look them up now. I'll let everyone know how they are. Off for my Saturday soak in Epsom Salts for my aching neck and shoulders.
