Morning Ladies - (if anyone's around today)
This morning I did Self's Dance Your Way Slim - lite cardio....nothing spectacular and I couldn't really even push the jumping jack and running bursts, as I'm supposed to be resting my foot today, as it's a recovery day and I have to watch impact on it still. Workout was 50" and I burned 385 calories. HR stayed between 120-135. Nice and easy. I also did Scaravelli Yoga - From the Ground Up. The DVD is 90", but it was so slow moving and took so long to get into poses that I fastforwarded thru the instruction and got done with it in around 60".
Not sure I like this Self Dance workout....but I'm keeping it for now since it has the outdoor scenery and it's good for my rest days.
This yoga DVD was so slow moving and I fastforwarded thru most of the lying or standing pauses.....cuz the only one I did - which was a pause in child's pose....I started to doze off!! LOL. This was very relaxing and easy for a rest day.
Not sure what movie we're going to today. I want to see that Vampire movie 30 Nights or something like that.....but I haven't discussed it with the DH yet. Have great workouts everyone. Enjoy your new Cathe's. I really shouldn't be doing impact on my foot yet, but I might try a cardio one and modify on the Rebounder tomorrow.
Kel - Yoga for Stress Relief?? I thought you already had that one on order? or did you order a different one? What's Yoga Dance Fusion? I don't think I've heard of that one? I wish I could be a little more tight with money. Real soon, I'm not going to have a choice....cuz all of the money I had lying around the house from when I was working has been spent and my oils are pretty much all gone too. So I can't sell anything any more.
As far as matching Cathe in weights....I did on some exercises and didn't on some. For instance, I can't do military presses due to my injury, so I subbed lateral raises and I don't think one can go as heavy on a lateral raise as a press....so my weight was under hers. I can't match her in biceps and I went slightly under her on pec flies...as I just recently started doing them with 20-22 lb DBs and since this was my first time doing this workout, I stayed on the careful side, as to not hurt myself and that way I can see what to expect out of myself next time.....if that makes any sense. I didn't match her on bent over rows underhand grip......as those are hard on my low back. I also need to get additional weights. I need more weight plates for my barbell and I my DBs only go up to 25 lbs...but I have Platemates to add to them to make them 27 lbs.....but I need 30's and 35's. I only use that kind of weight when I'm doing lower reps. I will most likely use these Cathe's and do fewer reps and go heavier after I get used to them. I think she does 12 reps....but sometimes I like to go heavy and do 6-8 reps.
The website for that Daily Dose of Dharma DVD is not on the DVD case (stupid). It's really a good DVD. Maybe if you do a search for it on the internet, it will pop up ....or else search Videofitness and there's a thread on it. I love it. You should put it on your future list. It has 3, 20 minute practices, one for STress relief, one is Gentle (restorative) and one is just a regular practice. They are good for short sessions and there is a second mediation DVD with it...that I haven't used yet. It's with Dana McKellar.
Jen - did you start your IVF treatments yet? I noticed that post the other day where you mentioned the possibility of being pregnant in the near future!! How exciting. I hope it all works out for you.
Hi Yve & Christine -- hope you both are well.

Hi Yve & Christine -- hope you both are well.
I was a pretty big wimp yesterday and pretty disappointed in myself.
