Walk/Barre

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!This morning was 3 miles (actually a tiny bit over) on the treadmill. I did a jog/walk combo, after my warm-up did 2 min of jogging alternating w/ 2 min of walking. The time went by fast that way.Afterwards, it was Muscle Eats Fat from Lotte Berk Method. I do not follow their form and avoid the pelvic tuck since it bothers my back. That said, I still felt like it was effective! I do think the Exhale Core Fusions are more difficult - the planks in MEF were not held long enough for me. I also did the bonus section on this DVD - which was basically the barre-work with more reps (30 as oppsed to 10). Barbara lead this one and she is a tad over the top - yet, I don't mind it, sort of nostalgic for me since I got these when they first came out in 2003. I

think the original Bar Methods (Fat Free, Designer Sculpting) are at my library as well. Will have to check them out. I'm finding I can do these workouts w/ modifications - so, no pelvic tucking and no ab work from this genre. When they do abs, I either skip the chapter, do planks or do Pilates moves.I'm mulling over possibly repeating the November Walk challenge for December, except I think I will alternate walking days with strength days (as opposed to doing a short walk on strength days). That is one of my ideas, another of my ideas is to do an Ellen Barrett/Barre/Walk rotation. I will have to see what I have in the Barre-genre - and, may also throw a traditional strength session in there as well.Here's my idea for Ellen/Barre/Walk:BARRE/ELLENDay 1 – 30 Min Barre/Cardio (walk/jog) & StretchDay 2 – Ellen Cardio Workout & MatworkDay 3 – 30 Min Barre/Cardio (walk/jog) &
