Sunday's exercise

[Guest guest]

Floor Burn with Tamela Hastie was on the rotation for today. This is

a fusion workout as are all of the WHFN Kickbutts and Fit Primes. I

loved this workout it consists of mostly floor work as the name

suggests. There wasn't much use for weights in this workout unless

you count the section where you place a weight on your leg while doing

shootouts and leg lifts (she called them a Pull and a Slice). Ouch

that got my legs burning. I used weight only for the first set and

had take it off for the second set. The ab work was great, the first

set was crunches alternated with pulleys (bicycle) with not much rest

in-between, then a twist was added, the second set concentrated on the

transverse abs. I liked the slow controlled movements of both sets,

they were tough though. I got my heart rate up with the frog jumps

which surprised me. I used my exercise ball for the table work which

consisted of leg lifts with the knee bent and what we used to call

fire hydrants only these were done in a small range of motion (pulses)

which really got my abductors burning. I needed to pause the DVD so I

could hold the cow faced posture longer on the right side. A Pilates

move was used for the legs that was fun to do, you start lying on your

right side with your left leg extended out behind you, the leg is then

swung to the front then you bend your knee, swing it back keeping the

leg bent then when the leg is at the back again it's straightened. I

also feel like I can come up higher in cobra and pigeon pose, both

were in this workout. I guess all the yoga I've been doing has been

helping! Didn't mean for this to get so long, but it was a great

workout, and I feel like I've worked and I feel relaxed at the same

time! I didn't burn too many calories with this, although it was more

than I figured at 166.

Have a great day,

Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Good going! I like to do light cardio before yoga as

well.
