okay this morning was quick blast method total body calorie blaster doing warm up all the cardios and the cool down. this mixes lower body moves done quickly for cardio effect from things like speed skaters and fast squats. i followed that with 2 segments from tom holland's ab workout. it's very basic ab moves but its also very boring and i don't care for his instruction. well not so much the instruction but lack of "hey you are doing great go get em". he just kind of is there reminding you form pointers and telling how many reps we are doing but overall he was blah and the workout was blah. cathe does the same exercises basically but it seems more exciting b/c of her personality,which this guy lacks, and motivation. its in the giveaway pile.
tonight i received a trade of cathe's total body stretching. this is the 3-13 min. stretching segment 2 using a ball one does not. its very basic stretching mostly athletic typical stuff. just felt nice too do after some fun at YMCA.
dh has been dying to do this so we joined. tonight we did about half an hour in the pool with viola and then played some raquetball. that was fun, i sucked at it,but it was fun. i may take advantage of using the cardio machines and maybe classes(not large selection nor many on my schedule). the weight room is fine and all BUT i am just not a weight room person. just kind of feel out of place. not that i can't hang or anything just doesn't feel like my crowd. maybe i will get over it but for the most part my fitness will still be at home. also they dont' offer any free classes for kickboxing or boot camps(get a discount as a member but its still pretty high) so any of my "power conditioning" stuff as they call most of the classes will be with cathe and amy and whatever else i have. it seems mostly spinning and water fitness(they do have aqua yoga now that may be something new to try) also no kettlebells, what fun is that LOL. i am sure the pool and sports alone would help dh and i out and the pool for viola would be great!!
my legs are kind of sore at the moment. i kept up OK with swimming but i can tell that i am out of shape for swimming. its such a killer workout that doesn't feel like a workout. i was in great shape when i had access to a pool and did running so maybe this is a great way to gear myself back to where i was then. although you are only allowed 30 min. on the machines but i am sure i can make the most of it.
well i do have a date with kettlebells tomorrow. and possibly more swimming, elliptical or treadmill if time permits.
yawn going to sleep!
