lots of stretch saturday

just couldn't get through aerobics. i started a turbo jam video and couldn't hang so i tried a denise austin cardio video and just wasn't feeling it so i decided to just stretch. i did 15 min of flexiblity (some of a cardio warm up but easy stuff) on the wii fitness coach. just tried to keep busy today before going to the pool.

i just finished a nice 45 min stretch workout called fabulous forever easy stretch . it starts with a fluid movement/stretch warm up for 7 min. the lead,mirabai holland goes slow but not boring slow just slow so you can focus on the movement and get into relaxing.mostly upper body stretch and a little torso in this standing warm up. for the next 20 min its all seat work mostly lower body and back. it works with fluid dynamic stretching as well as static stretching. for about 8 min we do seated stretches that works a bit total body from legs to jaw and a little temple massage. lastly about 3 min is standing work to cool it down and get into a little more overall body stretching.

nothing new in the way of exercises but its still a bit different then most videos in how she works with the stretches. she is simply adorable with her short do and even in some segments in tiny little pigtails and pink lipstick. her voice is soothing and calm which is nice b/c its none stop talking and cueing in this but it makes it pleasant.

best thing i could do for all my muscles being so sore. i know to pull back a bit on that leg day b/c my inner thighs were STILL sore. and although i though maybe my lats didn't get worked yesterday they too are also sore as is my chest and shoulders. not sure what i have planned yet still working on the coming week. we have spring break so not sure if gym time is going to happen or not. have to come up with some back up.
