Pyramid and Abs diet

July 15, 2008

Yesterday I was just full of energy, which was SO nice. I did the down only

premix of Cathe's Pyramid upper body. Nice workout, but I hate stopping and

starting the dvd between chest presses and chest flies. Cathe uses the same

weight for both; I cannot. :-) I'm feeling it just a bit today, mostly in

my shoulders. Also got in 2 tmill walks for a total of 30 mins, and then

decided to walk to the library to pick up some items that were in for me, so

that was another 22 mins (and I got a much higher calorie burn than the

tmill - I think I walk faster, and of course the uneven terrain helps). I

have not exercised for 94 minutes in one day forever! Felt good.

Today I've walked for 15 mins on the tmill, and then for a change I put in a

virgin -Abs Diet workout vol 2. I did the cardio intervals, and modified

all of it to low impact. Good little workout, if you ignore the stretching

of cold muscles in the warm-up(!). Oh, the guy leading the workout laughs a

tad crazily, but he's okay. It was all intervals of up to 1 minute - 1 of

easy jogging, then 30s of jumping jacks, back to jogging, then jumping rope

for 45s, and so on. Simple to follow (although he could demonstrated the

next move before he starts it), and not a space hog at all. I think it

would be a huge calorie burner if done as all high impact, as shown.

Reminded me a bit of Jillian s stuff, without the weights (and

easier, too). Unfortunately, there's only a quick calf stretch at the end,

so planning to add more of your own might be a good idea.

Carolyn, and others, this struck me as a good one to do on the rebounder.

Going to get in one more short walk today - probably on the tmill.
