kickboxing!!

no stretching last night. had soooo much to do but during a family therapy session it was suggested that its time for hubby to take on some small chores. ie)make the bed since he gets up later then i do, remember the trash and on days off take care of the dishes. also he wanted to mop but i refuse to buy a mop LOL. i just think they get nasty so easy that i prefer the swiffer or the hands on knees approach if the floor gets THAT bad(but it rarely does LOL). also maybe here and there things i might need help with. but remember to do it without arugement.

anyway feeling pretty good this morning so went with intended workout, kathy smith's kickboxing workout. this one used to be easy/inter. to me but i was really feeling alot of the combos this morning! must be time to rethink some endurance/cardio workouts. its so hard to fit everything in!but this is a great workout and part of the her classics collection on cardio knockout(also include her boxing workout and bonus segments from the kickboxing workout). it starts with a 10 min warm up of light punches and knee chambers for kicks. moderate paced. the 25 min cardio mixes slow moderate movements(to learn the form and combo) then bumps it up for the cardio effect.very easy to follow and nothing to complicated and modifications are shown depending on your level. there is a 5 min leg 5 min ab segments on this but i skipped those today to do the bonus 6 min stretch. there is also a 6 min tai chi workout. hoping to fit in something tonight. probably wind up doing stretching on my own again as my favorite shows are on tonight(kitchen nightmares and celebrity rehab).

hopefully dh remembers his chores this morning before work b/c i would hate to have to come home and bed is not made nor the garbage changed!
