Morning Yogini's and Wannabees -
This morning I did my Jillian Backside Circuit from the book. Did the Terry Pulls with the door attach/band doubled up and used my Extreme band for the lat pulls. Added ankle weights and DB's to the bicycles and put 10 pounds on my back for the twisting planks. Used ankle weights on reverse crunches also. Used my real jump rope for the JR segments. Listened to the new Velvet Revolver - Liberated. I added on the beginner segment of Kung Fu Kickbox. Workout was 1 hour and 18" and I burned 450 calories. I then did Karen Voight's Streamlined Yoga 30".
I forgot to mention that the doctor told me to do these certain calf stretches 3 times a day. I already have neck/shoulder stretches I have to add to my day now and now calf stretches?? what's next. I always thought I stretched pretty good with all of my yoga, but my TIGHT hamstrings from running would disagree with me constantly!! Geez....it's never enough the older you get.
Have great workouts ladies. I'm off to do my neck (and I guess calf stretches) and off to get this wild hair cut!! I wish I could style my hair and it wasn't so frizzy/curly so I could have some really cool style! This humid weather is killer on curly haired ladies!
Jen - Butts and Gutts is okay as is, but I haven't done it ever since I did that darned Leg Blast premix on it. Talk about KILLER! I think that's the name of the premix. Yikes. I usually have to break it in 2 segments when I'm working, as it's too long. My cold is not severe...but it's bad enough to aggravate my asthma and affect my breathing slightly when working out hard. I don't like that. I also am VERY worried about it turning into a sinus infection since I just shrunk my polyps with prednisone and treated my infection with a megadoes of 3 weeks of antibiotics. I can pretty much throw all of that treatment out the window if I get a secondary infection....and with Vegas coming up....I'm concerned. I counted better this morning when jumping rope.....and I actually go for about a minute and then take a breather and jump just a bit longer. It really kicks your HR up fast. I like it. I have been following the Blog somewhat....but it doesn't excite me too much. I'll be excited when they are available.
Kel - how's the arm?

Meant to ask you, where do you get your resistance bands? Didn't I see awhile back that you are using a different band (than the green one) for the firewalkers? Did you notice a difference? What color is the band? Calf stretches three times a day is a lot-almost sounds like a physical therapy session for you each day when combined with your neck and shoulders! I guess if the stretching helps you feel better and you don't have to take additional medication, that's a plus. I hope your cold does not develop into an infection before your trip! That would stink! x(
