its been so cold they actually cancelled school yesterday so i didn't work. it took much later in the day before i got to my workouts. i did alive in your body's seated and lying stretches and followed with butts and guts stability ball abs. i love michelle lemay's stuff b/c its stretching with more of a flow and not the same ol' vinyasa and sun salutations of yoga that get to be repetitive over time(i love yoga and all but i need variety to keep at it). i enjoyed cathe's abs b/c once again not to long but effective stuff without being rep to death. she keeps moving with little rest and alternates exercises quickly to keep the abs burning but keeping your interest.
today took a little while to get going again(seeing a pattern here LOL) but once i finally got into it i was glad i pushed. today was a virgin workout of ripped and chisled. very similar to her slim and lean video but just new rep patterns and some different exercises. as with most of jari's videos you can use just straight dumbbells or alternate with barbells and dumbbells. i stuck with just dumbbells through all this. its high rep with little rest between exercises(and none between sets)so weight should be much lighter then usual. somehow it doesn't seem like you do 100+ reps of bicep curls or nearly 50 something push ups. the pusle and changing tempos really hold the interest, fry your muscles, and build the endurance. but for jari she isn't as pepped up as say amy or cathe and her set is much darker but her routines do speak for themselves which is why i keep her workouts around. this one is one straight exercise for either lower or upper body(mostly upper body in this workout) as opposed to multi muscle groups at once. she starts with legs,chest,back then moves to shoulders,triceps and biceps. there are no abs in the workout itself but i believe in bonuses you can access a bonus abs(which is actually from slim and lean). i don't care much for her abs b/c i don't get much out of it but she is a quality or quantity girl and that i can agree with but seems to contridict with the hundreds of reps LOL. but she believes the high reps still build strength but lean you out better. but overall i get a workout and i feel it so that is what counts.
now if the pipes would unfreeze again i can shower after all this.
