WOTD

Today I did:




And:

I only did Cardio 1. I've always liked Richard Simmons and really appreciate that he uses good vocal music. This workout was no exception. This workout was 20 minutes and had 4 songs. #1 was a remix of The Rolling Stones' Satisfaction, song #2 was a remix of Summer of '69, I did not recognize the third song at all, and song #4 was a remix of We Got the Beat. The moves were simple dancey aerobics, beginner level = grapevines, v-steps, cha chas, side steps while playing air guitar or swinging your arms, etc. It was fun. I won't be following his rotation as I get bored easily and like to do whatever strikes my fancy each day.

Happy New Year!

I had a wonderful Christmas, despite being sick, have been for a couple weeks now - I suspect a cold into a sinus infection. But I still managed to enjoy the holidays with loved ones. My husband has a few more days off still, so I am taking time off until he goes back to work and until my head & sinuses stop hurting. I've been doing some stretches and some OT related work on the stability ball almost daily and will continue since it seems to help me relax and sleep.

Taking it easy still because of my knee. Today I did several sections of:



Workouts

Workouts completed last week were:

I am loving this new Leslie Walk workout. The music is so much better (some of the vocal songs are Neon Trees' Everybody Talks, Pink's Get the Party Started, Jennifer Lopez's Lets Get Loud), the moves are fun and more towards aerobics than just walking, but still low impact. The set is bright & colorful, the participants are a wide range of ethnicities and ages. I've been doing just a mile at a time. You can do each mile separately and there is a music only option, which I appreciate! I look forward to her new Walk to the Party Hits out in December.

 

 

This is newly purchased. I've always loved Classical Stretch - it makes you feel stretched out, warm, and overall good. I did a pain relief episode; #2 for hips and foot pain. While doing it I felt great (while modifying some of the plies to avoid knee pain), afterwards I felt some soreness and kept cracking from my hips, thighs, knees, ankles, and feet.

 

 

 

 

I love this DVD. I believe it is one of their best. While I enjoy Kundalini Yoga, I also greatly enjoy meditation and love that this has so many options. My favorites are the Wahay Guru meditation and the singing mantra. I also like the full body meditation and several others. I always do a combination but never the whole DVD at once. I like that you can pick and choose. I hope they do another DVD in this vein.

 

 

Some new workouts I purchased but have yet to do...

 

 

I only purchased Phase 1 of Body Revolution since I rarely do a program more than a month - I get bored easily and need mental stimulation along with my workouts.
