Morning Ladies -
This morning I did M&F Hers Time to Burn Fat Rotation - Day 1:
Warm up 5"
Circuit A: - Repeated 3 times
Dumbell Squat into Overhead Press - 10 reps (modified into lateral raises instead
Leg Extension - 10 reps
Mountain Climbers 50 reps
Circuit B: repeated 3 times
Step Ups - 30 per leg
Hamstring Curls - 10 reps
Triceps Pushup - 10 reps
Circuit C - Repeated 3 times
Cross Punches on heavy bag for 1 minute
Kicks on heavy bag - 15 per leg
Alternating Punches on heavy bag- 1 minute
Ab Crunches - 30
Bicycles - 30
Circuit D - repeated 3 times
Cardio - high intensity 3-5 minutes (did fast football runs on rebounder and ran up and down my higher step for this)
Dumbbell squat into upright row - 15 reps (modified into front raises)
Jumping jacks - 30 (used dumbbells and did shoulder raises at same time)
cool down/ stretch
I added ankle weights and dumbbells to the ab work and used dumbbells while doing the jumping jacks doing lateral raises at the same time. Used the heavy bag in the basement for the bag work (hope my shoulders are okay from the impact). I also added an extra set of squats heavier and held a sumo squat at the end for 30 seconds to burn my legs out.
Workout was 73" and I have no idea how much I burned, as my HRM won't work. The button fell off last night. Good thing a new one is on the way.
I finished off with Prevention Slim, Strong & Firm Ballet segment (25") with my red band. Felt this in the shoulders and a bit in the legs with the red band. Also did the stretch off of this DVD and I love that segment.
Have great workouts everyone. Off to eat my oatmeal and then I'm applying at the Health Club.
Jen - I fastforwarded thru all of Lara's instructions on the Prevention DVD today and tried to keep my pace up a bit more and I actually liked it more. I used my red band for this ballet segment and while I didn't feel it in the legs much, my shoulders were very fatigued. I think I need to concentrate on squeezing my leg muscles more (like I would be if I was doing it without the band). I did that for one brief moment when I thought about it and it seemed to feel a bit harder. I will probably keep this DVD no matter if I like it or not, as I'm really in love with the warmup and cooldown stretch segments on it. I am going to try the PIlates segment with the band again before I move onto hand weights and try to concentrate more. I will let you know.
I have the Amy Bento 10 minute DVD but have only done the stretch on it so far. I was talking about Slim & Sculpt Pilates - 10 minute one which is new and is Pilates utilizing a band and it is supposed to be fairly advanced and tough. I hope so! I ordered from AMazon.
Have great days everyone.
Yve -- please see my post from October 6th and let me know if you want the Fitness Fix DVD I posted about with the Foam roller ab section and Foam roller massage segment.

I did Get Ripped Back segment twice through. Followed that with the abs from Prevention Belly, Butt & Thighs WO. For cardio, I did 40 minutes of IMAX 2-substituting jump rope for a couple of the blasts.
