Hey ladies. How have you been? Well I tried my best today and did a great workout: cardio session + PS:SL&A. When it came time to dinner I was a little bit tired (a combination of just working out pretty hard, plus the fatigue I have while I'm waiting for that time of the month) so I ordered Chinese food
. Rice with veggies and pepper chicken. It was yummy and to my surprise not salty or greasy, but then again, yesterday I did better with my vegetarian dinner.
Jennifer, I love Italian food. That's my favorite, and by the way, dark chocolate rocks! Have you tried Hershey's Special Dark? You'd think you died and went to heaven. The secret to eating dark chocolate ocasionally is portion control. When I buy a bar of Special Dark I eat a couple of squares per day until it's gone.
Catherine, I am defitely a PS-aholic. I would describe it as GS light, it is definitely not as tough as GS, but if you find a challenging weight for you then it is an awesome workout. Today my legs were shaking when I finished the floorwork. My favorite thing about those workouts is the length (especially of CST and BBA), they're about 40mins which means you can add a short cardio before or after doing them and get a super workout. In PS you don't get long rest periods like in S&H and the count of the exercises is pretty much a normal count on most exercises (you will see some variations, but in the majority of exercises you see a normal count). PS is pure weight training: traditional exercises, 2-3 sets of about 10 repetitions, and no dyna bands, just dumbbells and barbells. Cathe uses a 15lbs bodybar in SL&A, but you don't need it because you can substitute with ankle weights and dumbbells. I also love that since the rest periods are shorter (like in GS) you feel your heart rate up sometimes, which also makes you burn fat. The ab routines are 100% traditional: crunches, reverse crunches, and oblique exercises. No medicine balls or stability balls and no moves that can hurt your back if you're not careful. That's pretty much it. I do the upper body tapes pretty much as is, but with SL&A I sometimes add the floorwork of B&G for variation. I also add additional ab routines sometimes. You can do those things easily with these series. Ok so this was long, but I hope it helps.
Affirm, yoo hoo! Where have you been? Did you modify the tank top arms rotation?
My next workout is on Friday, unless I wake up early tomorrow and do some yoga and stretching, but I probably won't have the energy for that. Take care everybody.
