i guess i fell off that wagon HUH?! well here to try again. the holidays weren't to bad. even if i had extra to eat, i think i burned most of it shoveling snow or walking in the snow! got quite a few new workout dvds and books including cathe friedrich's shock cardio series i pre ordered back in april '09. it came 2 days before xmas and what i have tried so far has been really good.
this morning i did step moves from the series. a steady state 45 min step routine with a dance flair in the choreography. if you like this kind of stepping or know cathe's style then this will be easy to pick up.otherwise a slight learning curve here. lots of spins,over the steps and 6 count mambos.
i am still doing the gym thing, kettlebell thing and still trying new workouts from bellydance(although slacking lately) and ballet style workouts. i have quite a few dvds i haven't even gotten to yet so its overwhelming to make a rotation while using dvds as well as the ymca membership.
speaking of the y, new equipment is now there. some of it i like better some of it i don't. i like the new torso rotation machine b/c you kneel to the twists. the old one you sat down and while it worked good, i like this one better b/c i am feeling is lower abs as well. i don't care for the pullups b/c the old machine you stood up to do it but this one you kneel down on a pad. i just don't feel it the same way as the old one but i will learn to work with it. they also have pulldowns and i think i a pullover as well as a lying leg curl machine. everything is clean and sleek looking(black and gray) while the old machines were white with those ugly turquoise padded seats LOL,looked like the 60's in there.
doing lots of treadmill work with HIIT style training. its hard somedays i want to skip it but i manage. its only 30 min. anybody can make 30 min for a good run.
will check back with more good stuff as we go on!
