Wed - FitPrime Strong Bear (Tracie Long version)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My DOMS was sufficiently diminished to attempt this

one today - I went with the original FitPrime Strong

Bear with Tracie Long (as opposed to the remake with

Keli ). I can't recall off-hand what is

different about the two versions - I think it may be

that Tracie uses ankle weights for some sections and

Keli doesn't. The production of the re-make is better

and I think there may be less un-eveness about it.

But, overall this is a good strength training workout

with Tracie and I'll hang on to it even though I have

the same workout by another instructor (sentimnetal

attachment, I guess, plus I really like Tracie!)

This one is a fairly straightforward strength workout

with some " twists " here and there - balancing on one

leg for upper body work, slower paced tall box (leg

presses) to really engage the glutes, etc. It is

FIRM-ish with a somewhat " functional " twist. It is

about 55 minutes long - a little short on ab work -

but I've done enough this week so far. There is a

definate focus on the inner thighs in this workout -

which is good - often I find videos to over-work the

outer thigh/hip area.

I would have liked to add on some extra stretching,

but guess who was up?! LOL! I *HOPE* to have the

energy tonight to pop in my stress relief DVD so I can

try out that darn practice for the lower back/SI

joint. GRRR!!

Hope everyone has a great day.

Depending on DOMS tomorrow will either be Fast Cheetah

with Tracie or a cardio/Pilates routine. I don't

think I'm going to do Tough Tape this week - I think I

got enough strength in with Strong Bear, Tortoise -

not to mention Hare and Fast Cheetah which has a bit

as well.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Thinking ahead to next week - I'm going to do the

Cross-Trainers - FIRM Cardio & FIRM Strength with

Heidi and Pam. Then, depending on DOMS I may add

WHFN's Push/Pull (remake of FitPrime's From the Ground

Up) and WHFN's Steamin' Cardio - for a Heidi week

Take care,

Donna
