Workout

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



Workouts

Entire practice completed along with bonus meditation.

Completed several sections using the matrix. This is one of my favorite yoga DVDs; visually stunning, I like the music, fun dance, relaxing meditations. I know many people have a hard time with the freeform dance segments, but if you can let yourself go, it is indeed liberating.
One of my favorite quotes from Shiva is on this DVD: "Those who dance are seen to be crazy by those who cannot hear the drums. Enjoy your crazy wisdom then!"

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.
