Wednesday - Core Cardio 2 - Method Pilates

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I guess Bust & Butt is aptly titled afterall as that

is exactly where I'm sore today! This morning, I

decided to stick with cardio work and did Firm's Core

Cardio 2 (to complete the set of B & B, CC1 and CC2).

Compared to Core Cardio 1 this one looks like a low

impact workout! LOL! Seriously, there aren't many (if

any?) plyos and the rest of it is generally easier

than Core Cardio 1. I don't know if the FIRM creators

did that on purpose or it was just an accident of

editing - one is never really sure! I did get a good

workout in, though, and it was nice not to totally

kill myself. This one, like CC1 is a typical FIRM

style cardio workout - lots of variety and " props "

(including steps, light weights and a ball).

After CC2 I did the matwork section from

Kries 3-Dimensional Toning (from the New Method

series). This one is a pretty standard matwork

session. Nothing really exciting to report, but I

like - she reminds me a bit of Voight

in her presentation - series, straightforward, etc.

The other workout on ths DVD is a flowing

standing-Pilates/Dance style routine. I may do this

as my active recovery workout this weekend. I'm

enjoying re-visiting these " New " Methods!

Hey, and last night I actually got the yoga I had

planned for the morning in - it was the yoga section

from New Method Perfect Pilates - starts with breath

work then moves into twists and other soothing

stretches. I actually wish there was more of a

relaxation at the end of these sections - but darn it,

there isn't. Still a good 20 minute session. I would

really like to do more yoga/stretching in the evening,

but usually by the time the day is over and DD gets to

bed I'm wiped out and just want to sit!

recommends doing it either in the morning to wake up

or in the evening to rejuvenate after a day at work.

Worked well for me.

Speaking of work...I gotta go there today! *SIGH*

Take care!

Donna
