Guest guest Posted December 4, 1999 Report Share Posted December 4, 1999 Hmm, I guess I have to brag about the fact that today is day 2 of the NO SCALE CHALLENGE and I don't have any desire to step on the thing. I'm also very proud of the fact that today is my three month taebo anniversary, this is the first time EVER that I have stuck with any type of program for 3 months. I guess that's because this is the first time I've found something that's fun! Jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me if you eat well without binging and work-out regularly, you have to lose eventually (now somebody please tell my metabolism that info!!!). Barb who didn't weigh myself today but will probably weigh myself long before most of you, figurung seeing a plateau once or twice a week is less upsetting than 7 times a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be my imagination, but I swear I feel like I have lost more inches this week. I haven't measured myself yet, but I was forced to do Taebo every other day since Thanksgiving, and I my mind may be playing tricks on me, but I think this may have jump started me again. Ever since I started doing the workout, I have been doing it every day. I believe making a subtle change like this might have tricked my body into adjusting my metabolism again. Since yesterday, I am back to working out every day. Okay, my curiosity got the best of me, and yes, I just measured my waist, and I have lost another inch since Thanksgiving.

Maybe our metabolism needs an on again then off again effect with exercise?

One targets abs, another targets buns, and then arms, and finally legs. I think they are " 5 minute " workout tapes. She uses small weights for the arms. Anyway, I have been thinking about adding these to my routine. I also intend to add the floorwork of the advanced after the New Year. I had thought I would go ahead and add the floorwork now, (after you suggested it over a week ago) but it is just to much during the holidays. I am finding it difficult to even do my regular workout. I think I need some extra work on my abs, and I believe that the advanced floorwork will give me that, but it will have to wait. Let me know if you see results after adding the yoga chi. ;o) Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I was so thrilled with the handweights my hubby gave me last night. (I had been using soup cans LOL) Barb who likes this weekday program cuz has a different warmup, toning and cooldown each day for 30 minutes which seem to match my fitness level perfectly & am hoping to see real results with real weights. I'll probably alternate this wake-up exercise with the Chinese yoga early morning before Tae Bo & therefore alternate using weights too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 1999 Report Share Posted December 4, 1999 Barb, I just wanted to say that I never really exercised before Taebo, except for when I was a teenager. Now that I am feeling the effects of being fit, I am constantly thinking of new ways to improve even more. Lifting small weights and adding stretches seems like a good way to go. I never thought I'd see the day that I had to be careful not to exercise too much! ;o) Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, I just did the first Chi (am) tape which was described as Chinese yoga and liked it alot more than the yoga class I had (I know I shouldn't judge a whole discipline by one class). It seemed to fit into the Tae Bo movements more without going on the hated floor LOL. It is a 3 tape set, 20 minute work-outs each describes as an am tape, pm tape and an energizer (anytime) tape. It is very slow and relaxing and easy to do. The instructor tells you the correct side to use like a mirror image which I wish would do!!!! First you do a move listening and mirroring then he explains how to breath and then you repeat the move a few times. I think once I get the hang of it, I will find them very relaxing. It is like slow slow slow motion Tae Bo LOL.

You will be aware of the movements but not fixated on any particular aspect of it. I had horrible muscle spasms from three disks in my neck, one is ruptured one compressed the third degenerated. And without t'ai chi, I would have never been able to do tae-bo. I haven't been practicing it daily as I should, but this conversation has remotivated me and tomorrow I will start doing it daily.
