Wed - Back at it - Superbody Bootcamp Burn it!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

Well, at least I worked out this morning. My eating

yesterday still wasn't so good...started out well,

then fell apart. Almost all the goodies are gone,

though, so tempation will be removed one way or the

other. I'm glad I didn't bake as much as usual, and

I'm glad I gave away most of what I did make.

Today I did Tracey Mallett's Super Body Bootcamp Burn

it - which is a circuit/style kickboxoing/bootcamp

workout. Very good and tough! The workout alternates

kickboxing and bootcamp aerobics with some light

weight strength training. Many of the lightly

weighted training sections focus on balance and

alignment so your core gets a little something, too.

You'll also work your arms with push-ups, planks and

this evil running burpee move! Legs will also get

work from plyometrics and kicks. The workout is just

under an hour. As a " bonus " there is a 10 Min. ab

routine - Pilates-inspired, I'd say. I'm glad I got

this one done - it was challenging and hopefully the

push I needed to get back on track with workouts and

better eating.

I went to add on a 35 Min. practice for the SI joint

from my Yoga for Stress Relief DVD, and darn it - the

thing is faulty!! Back to Borders it goes - it kept

skipping parts in the practice. That said, I think

this will be a good DVD once I can get one that

functions properly. Like all the Body Wisdom DVDs

this one contains multiple practices of varying

lengths for different " conditions " - in this case, the

DVD focuses on conditions caused by stress -

headaches, back pain, anxiety, stomach problems, etc.

From what I can see the practices vary from 15/20 min

to an hour. Barbara Benagh does the voice over(she

does the voiceover in the Power Yoga for Every Body

and Yoga for Athletes Body WIsdom Productions as well

and I like her quite a bit). She also demonstrates

the moves in this one and it is on a beach setting as

opposed to a studio. I could tell from the little bit

I was able to do that the SI practice is going to be

really good for me. I can't wait to get a replacement

DVD. I wish I knew it was defective yesterday, b/c I

was at Borders with DD in the afternoon.

Anyway, better run, it is back to the office today.

*SIGH*

Take care,

Donna
