Weekend, Monday, Tuesday, catching up

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I was on no-mail all weekend, so I'm just getting back

to checking in.

Here's what I did:

Saturday - Tari Rose's Hard Body Yoga, before leaving

for the weekend. I was actually kind of nauseous and

dizzy Sat morning, I think I had a mild case of the

stomach flu - so this wasn't the best choice for the

day as being inverted really didn't help the

dizziness/nausea. I know it is a good workout, I'll

just have to do it another time when I'm feeling

better. I still had a nice pleasant soreness in my

hamstrings and abs from it. The workout is chaptered

and I'm thinking of adding the abs on to other

workouts for a different kind of ab challenge. I wish

there were chapters for all of the other segments - I

believe the chapters are warm-up, " body work " (which

is the bulk of the workout), abs and stretch. The

body work could have easily been chaptered as it is

broken into very distinct segments. Basically, this

workout is traditional yoga postures but done

" fitness " style with repetitions to build strength by

moving through the pose continuously and/or holding a

static position - for those who have Kest's

weight loss workout, it is similar in style, except

's is more " meditative " and sort of has a better

flow. This one can be choppy as you may finish a

series on the floor, and the next one will start

standing w/ no " transition " between the moves. I

believe the typical pattern is to move through at

" tempo " twice (I believe this is a 5 count) then to

move through slowly at a 10 count for one set.

Sunday - rest (travel)

Monday - Gin 's Aerostep (Had Simply Strong

planned, but I felt like doing something a bit easier

intensity-wise)

Today - Gin 's Simply Strong. I love this one!

I've probably commented on it before - but it is a

nice little functional fitness workout. It moves

slowly so you can concentrate on form. Often you are

working multiple muscle groups at one time and

challenging your balance and coordination. The

different " twist " on the standard moves makes it hard

to go super heavy, so I went down a bit in weight, but

still got a good workout. It is about an hour long.

My clean eating sort of fell apart when we were away.

I did well on Sat mostly b/c I felt ill. Sunday and

Monday I felt better so I ate more and some junk, too.

But today is another day!

I don't think I checked in from last week, so I'll do

that now, too:

Sunday 2/12 - Tamilee Webb 30 Min Stretch

Monday 2/13 - Kathy Power Step & Part of Stretch

Max on the Ball (interrputed by DD's fall!)

Tues 2/14 - KS Project:You Upper & Lower and Stretch

Max on the Ball (whole thing)

Wed - 2/15 - KS Fat Burning Breakthru (first segment

and warm-up) KS Timesever Cardio (both, plus the

stretch)

Thurs 2/16 - KS Project:You Circuit & Stretch Max (mat

work)

Friday 2/17 - KS Functionally Fit Peak Fat Burning, 10

Min. Sol Carb Burner (kickbox) and 10 Min Sol. Yoga

(abs and relaxation)

Sat 2/18 - Tari Rose - Hard Body Yoga

I think I may have to re-think my workout time - my DD

is not napping anymore - I have hopes for today since

she is home and everything is " normal " but she hasn't

napped since last Thursday. Good news is, she is

going to bed super early - like before 7, bad news is,

she is also getting up super early. If I want to

finish my workouts w/out interruptions I think I'm

going to have to get up about 20 min. earlier. Not

being a morning person, having my alarm go off at 4:50

is less than pleasant already! I usually coax myself

up sometime after 5 and I'm usually working out by

5:30, I think I need to be able to start my workout at

5:00 so I can be finished by 6:00 or 6:15 - which is

about the time she has been getting up. I hate

interruptions!! Today she " helped " me finish up w/

Gin. If she does consistently go to bed by 7 I might

think about doing my workouts in the evenings again.

I guess I'll play it by ear and see how things go.

I'm just afraid that if I let it go until evenings,

there is more time for me to get caught up in other

things and end up missing my workout time.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day. Back to the

" grind " today.

Donna
