monday/tuesday

yesterday did caribbean workout's yoga for the core. nice 20 min. yoga with some flow and some postures for balance(hence holding your core). wish i could have fit in something in the evening. running xmas related errands, therapy, housework, and scouts. just beat last night. going to have to start making appointments for evening yoga.

this morning i was going to do upper body but figured i did upper/lower split last week go with two full body workouts this week. a short go to for a rushed morning is p90 sculpt workouts. this morning was 1-2 since its shorter. there isn't an official warm up so its good to do that beforehand then jump into the video where there is stretching and 3 circuits hitting a muscle group(except abs) in each. if you select the right weight you can really tire the muscles in the 45 second round of the exercise. it gives you the choice of weights or tubing. i like to mix both into the workouts. the resistance and tension of the band works well for back work for me, plus i get better form b/c i am not concerned with dropping a heavy weight and hurting myself. there is no weights on the lower body stuff but you can certainly add it in. and he does walking lunges for it so sometimes you just don't need resistance LOL.

there is a short stretch in between each of the circuits so it helps with the time factor at the end, where you do a quick final stretch and done. going to have to try to fit in stretching during the day. don't care if it looks weird, maybe somebody can learn something from it LOL. i don't like taking any meds or even advil for any body aches or pain i prefer natural remedies(some things do need meds so i am not against them,just not for every little ache and pain that i know could be prevented with more stretching). j

as far as i know i have nothing else to do today so i might have to do some pilates. i will pull out a video(not sure which one yet) just to remind me to do something when i get home.

well if i get through tuesday at work i am halfway there and have it made LOL.
