Well, its only 10 minutes and doesn't look all that hard. I would probably only use it as an add on to another workout.

This morning, for my 5th (hooray) workout this week I needed some strength work so I chose Tamilee Webb's I Want That Body. I did Arms (for the second time) and Buns (for the first time) and did just the first workout of each. For Arms I worked really hard on my form, including keeping my abs tight and really great about how I did. I think my 5 pound weights are good for most of the exercises for now but I can see them getting too light. The only thing I had problems with was the overhead triceps when she has you holding the weights behind your head and pressing your elbows in front of your face. I could not do the last 2 reps or maybe I gave up because my arms were screaming and so tired. Gives me a new goal with this workout, get through that part without screaming or giving up!

The Buns workout is another great goal for me... get through this entire workout, all the reps, period. OH WOW, this was so hard!!! But it felt so good!!! It was only 15 minutes long but I was sweating and my heart rate was way up, neither of which I had expected but found it wonderfully surprising. Just like in Arms, Tamilee moves quickly, with no demonstrations instructions or rest, from one exercise to the next. The moves are mostly really simple but it is the pace and reps that get you. I can't remember precisely but I think you do 2 sets (3?) of each with 16 or 12 reps each (something like that). She tells you when you it gets too easy for you to add hand weights. That is an awesome goal for me and a great way to keep using this as I move along in my fitness but for right now, my own body weight was way more than enough.

The only move that confused me a little bit, on form mostly, is where she does a lunge forward, then steps backwards and does a lunge backwards, then feet together, then lunge forward on the opposite leg, backwards on that leg, back together then repeat. My form question isn't so much of a question as a can someone explain to me how to do it backwards, especially keeping time with her. I want to do the back one safely but it seems like my balance gets thrown off and I'm putting my weight forward instead of into my heel just to stay upright, lunge and then move on. Maybe I just need to practice more and not worry about keeping up or getting in all the reps. As it is, I didn't get in all the reps because I was falling over a bit! :-)

I went to take laundry to the basement right after I finished this workout and my legs (especially my thighs) were just totally noodles on the stairs! I guess that's a good sign!

I hope everyone else is having great workouts today!

Haven't tried that one yet (don't own it yet either). Why don't you think you'll do the cardio? I'll look forward to reading your review on this, I've looked at it before and thought about getting it.

Thanks for the encouragement too, it really means a lot to me!!

Have you tried her Tight On Time workout? I just got it and haven't tried it yet. It has 3 10 minute workout plus a bonus ball workout along with a stretch workout. The stretch workout is 5 minutes. The workouts are cardio, lower body, abs and then the bonus ball and stretch. I doubt I will ever do the cardio one,but I'm going to do the lower body and abs probably tomorrow morning. The abs look pretty hard.

nancy good for you on day 5. this is a great dvd that gives it all in the short timeyou have. the buns are excellent wait til you do the abs SUPER tough stuff. i like the arms workout and that tricep exercise is a killer one, but its good that the last reps are hard. shows you are working up. the only complaint i have(and so do a few others) is that there is no chest or back work. at least give us a back exercise LOL. kassia

Thanks Kassia!!

You and are scaring me about the abs! I will definitely try it but actually, what you're doing is helping me know that if I feel like it is too much, it is because it is really hard and that I will need to do what I can without killing myself and work my way up to doing the entire workout (like I have to do with the buns already). I agree with you, I'd like to see chest or back work too. (Which I guess can be translated as please give me something else to torture other body parts! At least it is fun torture!)

hi nancy! you did great on your workout today!!

for this lunge sequence, hang onto the back of a chair until you get

used to the balance requirement. or, the best thing to have

hanging around your workout space is a dowel, or even a swiffer, to

use as a balance aid. dont lean on the support object, just hold

on lightly. keep practicing, you will get it very soon, and will be

able to abandon the prop.

I have a swiffer, maybe it will be good for something now since it does such a lousy job on my floors (and why do I keep using it I ask myself)! Thanks Carolyn, this is super helpful, I'll try it next time.

nancy, what kind of swiffer and what kind of floor? Mine is semi pointless too the both of emi've realised the key is to never pick it up off the floor like a broom just push it around in loops till u get to the end of the room I usually use it AFTER i sweep just to get the hair and light dust. I have really light color porcelain tiles oye ve!Kris.nancydewolf <nancydewolf@...> wrote: I have a swiffer, maybe it will be good for something now since it does such a lousy job on my floors (and why do I keep using it I ask myself)!

Mine is the wet jet. I already got rid of the floor swiffer thing. Floors are just stick on tiles. No matter how well I sweep first, the wet jet finds stuff and just pushes it against the walls. I'm always in search of the ultimate broom and mop. Said pursuit in life but it seems like if I can find those things I'll be a really happy camper.

,

Because I've had knee surgery twice, I don't do the moving lunges like that anymore. Just do stationary lunges and you'll get the same effect without the balance issue, or tweeking your knee from moving too fast into and out of position.

Hi Tonya,

Thanks for the tip!! I'm going to try this video again soon, more confident about handling these lunges!
