Get Moving Mix Fat

New Start It Up!

WW Walk At Home DVD - 20

Minute Walk

Evening - surprisingly

fun! This DVD has two 10, a 20 and a 30 minute walk, as noted I chose the 20

minute. At first I thought it was going to be too beginner and told myself

that I would use this week more of a recovery week, since last week I didn't

do much recovery last week. I'm looking forward to doing the other lengths

WATP Express - Advanced

Walk - 3 miles

Late evening - that was

fun and it used the stretchy band, easy on my joints and hopefully tough on

stored body fat

Get Moving Mix Toning

Morning - very, very

beginner, too beginner for me but maybe during a recovery week or when I

really tired but still want some sort of exercise.

20

 

 

 

6 week six-pack level 1

Evening - that was

challenging, I can't evening describe the moves but standard ab moves and crunches

are not here. There are burgees, plank variations and mountain climbers for

cardio plus standing and floor abs.

35

 

 

 

WATP - Walk Strong

Late evening - I march in

place while explains the moves, I really enjoy this walking tape.

Note, this is the one where she uses dumbbells or her weighted balls, WATP

Express -Walk Strong uses the stretchy, I think WATP - Walk Strong is the

better of the two.

Old Start It Up!

Evening - I'm feeling the

burn from 6 week and/or the New Start It Up! Somehow this seems harder than

the new version even though there is no resistance definitely more squats and

lunges. The arms are held out more here on the old version

25

 

 

 

ETV - Walk and Sculpt

Evening - maybe this DOMS

is also due to yesterday's Walk Strong, my upper body is smoked, LOL.

New Start It Up!

Evening - so I'm thinking

to try to do only Slim in 6 as my base, I want to give it a fair chance by

doing a Slim in 6 workout everyday for the full six weeks. I must say the

stretch at the end of new version is much more comprehensive

ETV - Walking Cardio

Shape Up

Late evening - Chris

Freytag does it again! This is an interval training " walk " that

using hand weights for the sculpting segments with her favorite

move…push-ups. It ends with floor abs and a really nice almost 5 min stretch

WATP - Power Walk

Morning - one of 's

1 mile workouts that uses her weighted balls, good for a mile morning walk.

Old Start It Up!

Evening - this still

gives my arms…next week is going to kick my butt a burn

WAH - 5 Mile Advanced

Late evening - did the 3

Mile with Hand Weights option, only one of the three mile had the weights but

it was fun.

WATP Express 4 Mile Walk

Challenge

Afternoon - I thought all

of the walks in this series used the stretchy but this walk didn't, I'm okay

with it though. Unlike Debbie Rocker's 60 min walk I was waiting for this

walk to  end. I used my Tone Ups so

that may have made my lower body feel it more but over all this was what I needed

today with my allergies completely out of control.

60

 

 

 

New Start It Up!

Evening - Ok, still not

bored. In the past I would already be feeling the dread factor already, this

old/new rotation may work. To keep things interesting I might also alternate

weight with resistance bands or tweak the calendar say next week alternate

Start It Up with Ramp It Up then do one week of only Ramp It Up! We'll see

WW Walk At Home DVD - 10

Minute Walk

Late evening just thought

I'd prep for Slim & Limber by trying out this walk. This is not an

intense walk by any stretch but was pleasant

10

 

 

 

New Slim & Limber

Late evening - time to

relax. Oops I was supposed to do this every day during my first week, hmm,

will have to do better going forward. Any this is one minute longer than in

the old version, very thorough. Debbie hits the same body parts but some of

the stretches are done in a different way. The guy in the background is kind

of cute .

WATP Express 1 Mile Easy

Walk

Morning - since today is supposed

to be a rest day I chose this walk and it is as described, easy and exactly

what I wanted. The use of the stretchy band is short the moves are mild but

my blood flow increased a little and I don't feel like a sloth . Used my

Tone Ups for a little more umph.

Cool It Off!

Late evening - I finally

did the full length stretch/recovery workout and boy did I need it! This 57

min workout is so complete, I really, really need to be better to myself and

do this once a week, at a minimum do Cool It Off! Express, but the full

length really treats everything, neck, shoulder, back, quads, hamstrings,

Debbie even includes knee stabilizing moves.
