biggest loser workout/ho ala ke kino

[Guest guest]

finally i get to post this week!!

i last worked out on sunday

i normally have to take mondays off, and often tuesdays, as the

household demands, and on wednesday and thursday my asthma flared up

so i did not want to make it worse. i guess that i had a good rest,

but geeze, i really have to get my butt in gear to get shaped up for

summer!

anyway, today im feeling much better so i chose to do some cardio

followed by stretching.

i chose to do the biggest loser workout, warmup (5 mins), low

intensity cardio (20 mins) and high intensity cardio (20 mins). i

like trainer bob ok and the contestants who participate in the

workouts, but im not too keen on the cardio workouts themselves.

they contain alot of drills which i found to be boring and repetitive

today i often like a floor routine that has a little bit more

choreography (although nothing too choreographed....lol.... i guess

that i am hard to please). i really should have chose some hi/lo

aerobics today instead, but these cardio workouts did burn quite a

few cals for me today, so i shouldnt complain much. i used my

rebounder for the high intensity cardio workout.

after that i did 'ho ala ke kino' with tony horton. i got this dvd

on sale from beachbody for $6 including shipping. it took them

about a month to get it to me (!!) it is only 27 mins long so it is

good to add onto the end of another workout. tony starts with some

stretches, then does some basic bodyweight resistance exercises and

then does yoga, which he turns into a power yoga routine. after that

he does a few more stretches. i liked it!! for me, today, it was

not too hard and not too easy and was a good stretch. tony is not

goofy at all in this workout and he does it on the beach in hawaii.

the back of the case shows him doing the workout without his shirt

on, but im pretty sure that he wore clothes during the actual

workout. his shorts were pretty clingy in the front though, if you

catch my drift 'ho ala ke kino' apparently means 'awaken the

body'... this would also be a good routine to do first thing in the

morning.

Hi Carolyn!

Sorry to hear about your asthma flare up. I guess it

is that time of year (allergies and what not) We have

lots of trees flowering around here. My DD has been

sounding 'husky " lately, so I wonder if it is

bothering her.

Anyway, good going on your workout and thanks for the

reviews!
