Wed - quick report (Amy Bento!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have to make this short since we're going out trick

or treating shortly - and we spent a big chunk of the

day at the pumpkin patch on a field trip.

Anyway, my new Amy Bento's arrived yesterday - I

wasn't even expecting them! I only ordered Hi/Lo Dome

and Slo Mo. Since today was cardio I did Hi/Lo Dome.

I did the " Quick NRG " pre-mix as I didn't want to

overwhelm myself by learning too much choreography at

once. This pre-mix is 46 min including warm-up and

cool down/stretch. It contains combo 1, interval 1,

combo 3, interval 3, combo 4, interval 4 - so all I

have to learn now is combo 2 ad interval 2. I was

pleasantly surprised that this workout was do-able in

terms of choreography for me and, even though the clip

on Collage Video seemed to indicate it was a space

hog, I was able to get it done in my limited space -

sometimes I backed myself into a wall or a corner but

it wasn't too bad. I'm looking forward to trying the

whole Hi/Lo part sometime soon. The music is loud on

this one and that is a drawback for me b/c I workout

with the volume turned down very low (my area is below

's room) so sometimes it was hard to hear the

cueing over the music. Someday I'll appreciate it,

I'm sure. There are 6 pre-mixes of varying lengths -

one options is intervals only for 27 min. So, really

something for every schedule on this DVD! YAY!

I was a bit disappointed in the BOSU workout - which I

added on to the Quick NRG workout. It is only 22

minutes long and is more of an add-on than a

comprehensive workout. Still, I did enjoy it for

different ideas on how to make use of my BOSU. The

leg work is hard - especially going into it

pre-fatigued from the cardio. Amy and one of her

backgrounders use this " woody bag " thing - not sure

what it is - but the other backgrounder uses a dumbell

and a step. Since I was just learning, and I was

pre-fatigued I omitted weights.

Okay - off to trick or treat now! is a bunny

and I'm going to be a cat. (easy costume, headband

ears and a little make-up for whiskers...)

I did get myself a prize today - I picked up Tae Bo

Amped at Borders, I had a 30% off coupon, so it was

only $29 and change with tax. I may do one or two of

these workouts for the rest of my week before starting

P90X on Sunday!

Take care,

Donna
