Carolyn - Tuesday - Project:You Circuit

[Guest guest]

Hi Carolyn!

Re: my back - thanks! It is much better, I've learned

which stretches seem to help and if I do them it

really loosens everything up. I'm really tight

probably from neglecting stretching and from doing

these " functional fitness " workouts - which, in the

long run I can see helping my back but in the short

term they seem to make it tighter which requires more

stretching, etc. A vicious cycle! LOL! I feel pretty

good today after cardio and after some stretching with

Tamilee and on my own. The funny thing about Slim

Series Express is I really want the stretch workout

more than the others. Cool It Off is a good workout,

but too long to use as an add on - I guess I can

experiement with breaking it up into segments.

I was giving some thought to taking an extra day off

this week and focusing on yoga or stretching.

Tomorrow is scheduled to be a " functional " fitness day

and I'm worried about my back. I may do a power yoga

workout instead, that is quite " functional " I think in

terms of using bodyweight for resistance etc. Plus I

think it would help the tight areas to loosen up more.

Do you have the Upper body workout from P:You on VHS -

b/c the DVD contains upper, lower and circuit. Hey,

we should order the kit and split it - I really want

the cardio workouts back (I traded them!) and you can

keep the strength DVD. We can figure out who wants

the yoga/Pilates - I didn't really like them all that

much I think her other yoga and Pilates workouts are

better! And, I think we both have Steady Strides....

Anyway, take care!
