Morning Maniacs -
This morning - no rest day, as I'm still hoping I"m going to the concert Monday night and if so, Tuesday will be a rest day, as all I'll have time to do is get ready for work in the AM. I did TurboJam Kickin' Core. I kept my HR at the high end the entire workout - mid 150's to low 160's. I had a lot of fun. I really like this workout a lot. You do a Turbo (interval) right before you start the standing core work - so no time is wasted -- you use the standing corework as your cooldown - my HR stayed elevated into the 130's during the corework and then she takes you down to the ball for more ab/back work. I wasn't playin' today - cuz I want sore abs!! so I used my 8 pound med ball. Now I just have to figure out how to add more intensity to the standing part. She uses the Swiss Ball and I think if you used a med ball for weight....I don't know if it would take away from the wide reach of the arms and make a difference.???
I burned 360 calories in 45 minutes.
I also did Baron Baptiste Journey into Power Volume 2 (45"). This was an okay workout. I'm trying to branch out and use different practices since I always reach for the same ones over and over. I felt like I needed an additional stretch, but my DH wants me to be ready to go early today, so I stopped after the yoga. I did do a few splits at the end of my practice to get an extra strech in my legs.
My DH & I went to the Mall after I got out of work yesterday and knocked out almost all of our Christmas shopping (we don't mess around). I got a pair of Doc Martens on sale at Dillards for $39.99 and a pair of pink Converse tennis shoes to wear with jeans (they're funky - I likes them). I also got a hoodie from Buckle (my favorite store) and a pair of low rise BKE Star Jeans from Buckle. That's about it for me this year -- I'm getting athletic shoes and I'm done.
Have great workouts or rest days everyone. I'll be back later.
