Morning Part Time Yogi's -
This morning I did Cardio Coach #7 on the treadmill & bike. I even did some of the challenges on the treadmill, so we'll see what happens with my sciatica. My legs are feeling pretty fatigued right now. That last challenge was tough. Total workout with stretch (from CC 6) was 1 hour 17 minutes and I burned 540 calories. I also did 70 minutes of Being in Yoga with Daryn Dewald.
This yoga DVD was okay. I liked some things about it and others I did not like. I really liked the finishing poses cuz we did variations in plough and shoulderstand that I've never done before. In plough, you stretch your legs over your head into a wide V and then bring the one leg to meet the other and you can feel the stretch move into the side of your neck and shoulder. It was cool. Also did different leg movements in shoulderstand. Since I've been obssessed with plough and shoulderstand lately.....this part was great!
Jen - I've only done each of those workouts you mention once. The reason I didn't care for both of them had more to do with where they fit in in your workout regimen or what to categorize them as? Cardio/strength???? rest day workout? I was baffled. I did the Budokon one on a day that I wanted a short cardio workout and short yoga and I didn't feel I got either that day. Maybe I should try it again and I'd like it, but the day I did it, my HR only elevated slightly. Maybe I'll try it one day this week since I have time. I have the advanced one also. I bought all of them cuz I thought they'd be advanced.
RE: Willpower & Grace - I thought the lady was strangely dressed also and wondered about all of the crazy jewelry and hats. I had the same reaction..........I did this and it didn't elevate my HR that much and wasn't sure how to categorize it. I guess both of them would be good to do on a recovery week? I don't know ....guess I'd have to try it again. I can't really remember it. Maybe I did them at a time I was getting crazy obssessed about high HR aerobics.....and now that I've been doing some lower intensity aerobics, I'd like them both......so I'll have to keep them in the back of my mind for future options.
Have great workouts ladies. I'm going to eat breakfast and get my shower. I'll be back later. Cold and snowy again today. I'm sick of this weather. I'm getting my hair cut later today. It needs it badly. Wish me luck as I'm going to a different place.
NEED A JOB!!!!!

I think I have a yogic arts DVD w/ Duncan Wong arriving from Netflix, too. This may be more martial arts/yoga combo-I am not sure. I told DH about how the Budokon WO was and he is like a five year old-just wants to walk around the house saying Budokon all the time-thinks it sounds cool or something.
