Morning Ladies -
This morning I did CIA - Infused Step with Gay Gasper ....cuz I LOVE the music on this one. It's mostly all recognizable hip/hop type songs that are pretty current. I'm not really a hip/hop girl...but I do like it for workout music. Reminds me of the old Tae Bo Live music in the day. Workout was 57" and I burned 416 calories. My HR stayed around 145-155 the entire workout....so I guess it was pretty intense and I was even having difficulty following it. Yes, my HRM is back from the dead. AMazingly, the button fell off the thing the other night and somehow, I got it back on and it started working again...for the moment.
I hope I didn't overdo it on my foot, as the doctor said I was supposed to ease into using my foot and not walk on it for more than 20" at a time. My foot hurts a bit. I did a few jumping jacks and other jumps cuz it's so hard not to.
I also did Core Pilates off of Prevention Slim, Sleek and Strong 20" with my green band and Namaste Yoga - Head to Knee 23", as well as Ravi & Ana's Detox - LIghten Up and Purify - Love Your Liver 25".
Tomorrow's M&F rotation doesn't look that hard on paper to me.......so I guess I'll find out when I do it tomorrow. It definitely looks shorter than the other one. The weather changed here and I've got a stupid migraine.
Jen - I wanted to do this Prevention Core Pilates again and concentrate on using my core more and not paying attention to the band as much. It seemed to help. I did feel it a bit more, especially during the Hundred. I hardly felt the leg work, but I did feel it slightly more. I concentrated on activating my core and squeezing my leg down. Still.....it doesn't really feel like a hard workout to me, but because I also know how benefiical it is for you, I will continue to add it on to my workouts or do it on my rest day, or when I'm too beat to do anything else. I will try it with the weights next and let you know what I think. Did you buy this Prevention workout, or rent it thru Netflix?
Kel - I hope you are able to fit some yoga in soon.
Christine - How's your goofy Jimmy? My little Brookie is so intrigued by the blow dryer. She's sort of afraid of it, but it peaks her curiosity so much that she has to be brave and check it out (she's so scared of everything). Every time she hears me get it out, she runs upstairs to watch me. I turn around and blow her lightly with it and she blinks her eyes, but if I get too close, she freaks out. Then she intensely watches me dry my hair and put it away. She is so fascinated by the whole ordeal. She cracks me up. I have no idea why this is so fascinating to her. She was also tearing around this house this morning so fast.......that she skidded off the kitchen floor. YOou know those cartoons where they show the animal taking off to run and their feet sort of skid in place for a while until they get going?....well...that's what she did. I was crackin' up. She's a crazy girl.
Guess what everyone?? My Yoga Journal Yoga DVDs with Shiva, Baron and Seane shipped ....woo hooo! I've got those coming and I ordered one called From the Ground Up -Scaravelli Yoga......supposed to be good for back problems. I'm also eyeing an Iyengar practice with Lynn Watkins....but I don't think I have enough in my Paypal account to get it yet. I NEED A FREAKIN" job!!
Have a great day everyone.........sorry I wrote a book this morning! LOL............practicing my typing!
