MOrning Maniacs -
This morning I should have taken a rest day....but I ordered Rockin' Body from Beachbody and they just came yesterday -- so I did Sean T's Rockin Body - Sean's Dance Party workout. I followed the low impact modifier cuz I didn't want any impact today since it's supposed to be a rest day. I was surprised at how high my HR got - 150's....so you can bet I'll be using this for low impact more often. It was fun too and had one of my favorite Madonna songs in it...Holiday! Time flew by and I burned 372 calories in 45". I'm sure this would even be more intense if I would have done the jumps, etc.
I liked this more than Hip Hop Abs so far. I was VERY hesitant on buying these cuz they were so expensive and I wasn't sure how intense they'd be or what they would be like....but so far, I'm happy with them. They came with 1 pound wrist weights to add for intensity. I didn't use them today since I was supposed to do an easier workout.
I also did Yoga Core Cross Train Restorative yoga segment with Rodney Yee 30" (a bit too restorative for my taste) and the Foam Roller Massage segment off of the Fitness Fix DVD --ouch....my outer thighs, glutes, inner thighs and entire shoulder, neck and mid back regions are severely tight with the upper body being severely spasmed. I really should get on the roller more often.
Have great workouts or rest days everyone.

). I'm also now planning to run the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day which is a 10k, and since I don't run much b/c of the bursitis in my hip, this should be interesting. But my DH is going to run it with a friend of his from the FBI Academy who is flying in, and being a 20 year running veteran, I CERTAINLY can not sit on the sidelines and cheer him on! So I will do some training for that, but not so much that I will be too injured by the time the run gets here. I'm actually really excited. I don't expect to break any records, but just plan to have fun.
