Morning Ladies -
This morning I did Prevention's Fight Cellulite Fast - Interval Cardio workout. I repeated the last couple segments to make it longer. It also has a 15 minute leg workout on it - so I did only the parts of that workout that were different than traditional squats and lunges (since I'm doing those in Jillian's circuits). Cardio and brief leg segment was 1 hour and 19 minutes and I burned 552 calories. I had an excellent cardio workout. Really pushed the intervals and got my HR up to 163. I then did Rapid Results Pilates - Waist Slimmer Ab segment with my Pilates Ring and Yoga for Urban Living 35" Morning Quickie routine. (wanted to do the full 60" yoga on that DVD - but since I have to go grocery shopping - I didn't really have that much time).
Jen - Don't be discourgaed about your weight. I'm sure as long as your consistent with your workouts - you'll continue to be successful with your goals. I've hard good things about Barry's Bootcamp series breaking a lot of people's plateaus. Maybe the short (20-25 minute) cardio with the high rep weight segments in Barry's would be a good plateau breaker for you. I've also heard that sometimes eating a slightly different amount of calories each day (zig zagging) is a beneficial plateau breaker (read about this theory in Jillian's book). Hang in there.
Yes - the fruit thing upsets me. I read about it in the little booklet that came with my Firm DVDs. It says bananas are a high sugar fruit. I din't know that they were and I had been eating 1-2 a day. I am going to cut back to 2-3 pieces of fruit a day and I'm stopping bananas.
Why don't you try Kick It -- I've always liked Janis' kickboxing. Maybe you can overlook the production quality? Her husband - Guillermo has South Beach Box out and the production quality isn't the greatest ....but it's a good workout.
Did you get your Prevention DVD yet? I think I know it well enough now that I could use my own music if I wanted to. You might get annyoed with the instructor's comments about getting rid of cellulite. I think she mentions it a few times.
Kel - How much cardio are you dong in a week that you're sick of it? How many rental porperties do you and your DH have? Is it profitable? and how much work is it to maintain them? I hope you are able to fit some yoga in soon. I hate when life is too busy that you can't fit in yoga!
Anyone hear of Superfeet Green Inserts or your shoes? They are supposed to be good for plantar fasciitis and other foot problems.
Have great workouts ladies. I've got to eat breakfast, do my neck stretches and then I'm going grocery shopping.
