Hi Everyone! This morning was Lower Body Blast for me since I had to teach it (....SHHHH, I slanted it to favor cardio today ;) )

What's on your plate today? Anyone doing anything really different from their usual routine? Anyne just plain old resting today? Remember to have at least one off day this week.

Enjoy your day!
 
I went with IMAX3 (step only since I was so tired!) and then the Yoga based abs from STS Ab Circuits. I need to focus on more sleep... and maybe a rest day tomorrow.
 
Good morning :).

I am sticking to just walking and my PT therapy/exercises this week. Since cardio is my least favorite, it's nice to have a break from the same-old workouts I do week after week ;).
 
Hi everyone :)

I did CC #1 - for the first time on my bike instead of the TM , and LOVED it !
It was a great new experience and I'm glad I gave it a try.
Also did yoga/plilates abs from the Biggest Loser Bootcamp dvd .

Good workout -done in an hour. :)

Hi All,

I am resting today, but jogged for 30 min on Monday & did some interval cardio on Tuesday. My muscles are feeling so-o-o relaxed! It's good to have a few days without any DOMS! ;)

Until tomorrow, have a good day!
 
I did Body Max 2, Cardio blast today. I am little bit under the weather and could not finish all the way but I enjoyed every bit of what I could accomplish. I should have rest so I can get ready for next week but could not resist good old stepping.
 
Mmmmmmmmmm. I just finished Eoin Finn's 55min Magically Hips premix off his Power Yoga for Happiness dvd. My hips, hamstrings, and lower back feel so good now. Yoga is good.

Yesterday I did Amy Bento's In the Ring. It's a vigorous 75min workout. Today's yoga helped work it all out, again.

Cheers,
Sandra
 
Hi everyone. I did 4DS cardio power this morning and just got done mowing the lawn. I didn't get to do any cardio yesterday so hopefully that makes up for my rest day.

Have a good one.

A tiny little 20 minute Interval blast today at 5:30am due to time restraints. Then an 8 hour stint of running of a pretty giant job fair. Yikes, give me Imax 2 anyday. Well, hopefully a few folks got a job today.

Oh I look forward to a bit of step blast tommorrow.
 
Good evening everyone! Today I tried a new class at my gym called Group Active. It is 20 minutes of step, 20 minutes of weights (I kept it ultra-light/no weights), and 20 minutes of core/balance work. I did get a workout but didn't like the class. Ahhh well, you can't please everyone! Tomorrow is Group Kick. I think it will be better.

Body Max 2

I did Body Max 2 on Wednesday - my rest day 3. It has been a long time since I have had room to do aerobics at home. Now that I have the space, I am going to incorporate my favorite cardio videos into my gym cardio routine. I also did the abs that were on this DVD.

It is now Friday and my calves are STILL sore from that routine. I did the warm up, step aerobics, and the bonus cardio. No blasts or weights - I am saving that for meso 3! Wow - I coul dnot believe that I remembered that whole routine! haha!! That was fun though. I miss that workout. The soundtrack is great. I was so winded!!! It has been a while since I have done a hard core step video.

Today I am going to do walking intervals at the gym - or at least attempt. Walking has been difficult the past two days so I am not going to push it.

I am going to do yoga abs today from the new STS abs video. I will post the results of this plan in check in Day 5.
