hi. I'm new to this forum thing, and am sitting on my couch with ice packs on my face having just had all of my wisdom teeth removed. So I have a little extra time to look up stuff on the net that interests me. exercising with videos is at the top of my list, especially during the summer when I can't go outside to workout. I live in Phoenix and it is already 106 degrees out there! So, for the past four or five years I've been doing the following types of exercise: gym membership--did step classes, sculpting classes, and a few spinning classes, the last of which I hated! Unfortunately, when i moved to Arizona I lost my free gym membership, so I switched to hiking and using various strength videos I have accumulated over the years (mostly Kathy Smith lower and upper body sculpting). Now that its summer, I have to only use videos, so I'm doing an hour of cardio on my lunch break (intense moves, some wimpy kathy Smith stuff, and a couple older gin Miller videos--aerostep, reebok the video, etc.) I work in a preschool, and when my break is over the kids are napping in the classroom, so I sculpt in there for about 45 minutes while they sleep. However, I am in need of variety!! After reading alot about Cathe, it sounds like her stuff is great.. What does anyone reccomend? And are there videos out there that will let me cross train a little bit. I hate to overuse the same muscles--I really miss my hikes but its just toooo hot!
Basically, can someone reccomend some good cardio videos that will fit into my hour break, and even some strength videos to alternate...
thanks!
p.s. I'd say I'm intermediate, although its hard for me to judge. I am challenged but exhilerated by Intense Moves, which will maybe help you determine what else might be good for me
