some workouts

[Guest guest]

no workout at all for me today.... im feeling a head cold coming

on... ugh! ive been working on building up my immunity since

having pneumonia in jan/feb, but i guess i havent done as good of

a job as i thought :/ maybe it will just go away, but i rested

today anyway. i drank some emergen-c today in my juice, i love

that stuff.

i did some video workouts last week:

- the firm fat burning cardio toning - uses tubing. i enjoyed

this workout but had to pause to arrange the tubing properly once

in a while (around feet while doing rear leg lifts for example).

it was nice to use tubing for a change, it has been a long

time. instructor was tina smalley.

- taebo the power within - ignition - in this video, billy

decides that we have all been punching incorrectly since taebo

came out in 1999! he now says that we should punch with our

hands turned so our thumbs face up in order to work the core

more. the cardio portion of the workout was good but there was

no cooldown or stretch at the end - instead billy gives a big

talk and i admit that i turned it off so i could move onto my

next workout.

- prevention walk off belly fat - ellen barrett

and the belly routine on the same dvd - ellen is pleasant and

puts enough variety into the walking moves to keep it from being

boring. she also puts standing ab toning segments into the

walking. the belly routine was good too but really, nothing on

this dvd is challenging. good for an easy day.

- gaiam cardio balance ball express - i really liked this workout

and the instructor tanja djelvic (sp?). i had doms in my legs

the next day but im not sure if it was from this workout or from

hiking in deep snow with boots on. probably from the knee-deep

snow but still this was a really nice workout.

- tracey mallett lose the belly flab - core foundation - turns

out this is a dull tutorial so i turned it off.

- cosmopolitan power stretch - this is an oldie but a goodie vhs

which i feel was ahead of its time. some good stuff in here.

- tracy mallet lose the belly flab - bonus abs - seemed like an

effective short ab routine, good mixture

- amy bento abs & stretch #1 and #2 - basic athletic stretch sessions

- turbo jam ab jam #1 - standing abs, lots of oblique work

this week has been all functional workouts, no videos... i must

get my act together tomorrow and get some done!

sun - office work - it is tax season... ugh

mon - housework - floors and walls - 4 hours - 4000 steps
