just finished an afternoon workout since i can't hit the gym for weights. being as i am still recovering from whatever is up with my sinuses and coughing i kept it light. i re-visited denise's personal training system alternating some body toning segments.
i started with low intensity lower body which is all floor work with leg lifts and bridges. she uses a towel to squeeze with some of the exercises but i used my yoga booty ballet ball. i then moved to low intensity upper body which she did opposing muscle groups(ie work back then chest). this segment allows me to go heavier b/c she is working one exercise at a time before moving on so grabbing a weight selection is easier to keep is challenging. i then moved to medium intensity lower body. all standing work with lunge/squat variations and some standing leg lifts no weights. my last segment was medium upper body. she uses the superset method working the same muscle group with different exercises. still able to pick heavy enough weights for this as well.
i finished it out with her stretch on the dvd. this is a nice athletic partial yoga exercises to complete the routine. its also good on it own for a quick stretch anytime. overall a good workout considering it feels like my nose is on fire LOL. but unless i am puking or burning a fever i am going to anything to keep moving. i actually feel a little better after the workout.
i do have her get fit fast dvd coming in from a trade. its similar with the toning one this dvd but as more of variety of all body toning workouts for legs,abs, and upper body. very excited to re-acquire that too.
