Hi.
Today I did the Denise Austin Step Workout video (30 min) with no risers on the step. The steps weren't too complicated and the pace wasn't to intense. I'll probably do it again. It's sunny and nice today.
Today I did the arms and hips sections from The Method Target Specifics video (15 min. each) then the Abs Yoga video (20 minutes). One of the neighbors down the street was blaring their music all day. I couldn't take it anymore and left for a few hours and it was still going when I came home.
Today I did the Leslie Sansone In Home Walking One mile video (17 minutes) and then the first section of The Method Target Specifics video which is Pilates (15 minutes). I bought a new video, Richard Simmons Broadway Blast Off, it's shorter than the others at 30 minutes.
I did the exercises with weights from the prevention article. I did them before dinner, I need to to it in the morning when it's cooler next time.
Today I did Richard Simmons Groovin in the House (1 hour). It was fun. I was going to just warm up to it for a few minutes, but I was having such a great time I just did the whole tape.
Yesterday I bought some 8 lb dumbbells and 3 1/2 lb adjustable ankle weights.
Here are some useful fitness links from my Favorites.
Yesterday I got a New Balance polyester short sleeve shirt that's supposed to dry fast to exercise in, mom got 2. And I got a polyester and spandex tank too.
Today I did Leslies Sansone's Power Walk 3 Miles (about 45 minutes). Mom said she wants a polyester athletic shirt to wear when she walks, she gets to sweaty wearing cotton t-shirt. Maybe I'll get one to. Have a great day.
Today I did the Arms and the thighs sections from the Method Target Specifics video. (about 30 minutes) Next time I need to warm up first because there were none.
Today I did the One mile Leslie Sansone in Home Walking video. (about 20 Minutes)
Today I did the Leslie Sansone Power Firm video for the lower body. Then I did the exercised from the Prevention article with 5 lb weights except for the triceps exercise I used 3 lbs and I added squats. I think using the stablitly ball for a weight bench is very challenging for your abs abs and butt. I'm wiped out. It's pretty hot already. I guess I should get up earlier and do it when it's cooler.
No exercise yesterday.
Today I weigh 131 or is it 132? I have a manual scale but let's call it 131. Wow, it's hard to believe. Today I did a set full body weight exercises from March 2003 Prevention Magazine. I cut the article out months ago but never did it. There are 3 days of weights with 8 exercises each day : Light Medium and Heavy. I did the light day with 3 and 5 lbs. It was a good workout. I did 1/2 a mile from Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the pounds 3 mile tape before hand to warm-up, then watched/listened to the Olympic Men's Swimming preliminary races while doing the weights. Then I finished with stretches. I like doing weights with the whole body in one day, if you just do upper etc then you have fewer days to lift the same part per week. It's time saving!
No exercise for me today.
Today I did Leslie Sansone's Power Walk 3 miles C.2000 (from the Library). It was 45 minutes and she doesn't chat with other walkers, she just gives you instructions and she needs to because it's a lot more active than the regular walk away the pounds videos. They wore weighted gloves, I would never, it's not good on your joints to carry weights when you walked. Tomorrow I think I'll do the Balance Ball for Abs video.
Yesterday I didn't exercise.
We have 3 blueberry bushes in the backyard. I picked some today, but there aren't many berries left. In the front yard in the rosebushes we have tomatoes growing. I was picking some cherry tomatoes this afternoon and I pricked the knuckle of my thumb. Ouch. There are lots of green tomatoes. I keep thinking that soon the will all be ripe and the same time. So far there doesn't seem to be an excess ripe on a given day. It was my mom's idea to put the tomatoes in with roses. I have two dogs so I won't put them in the backyard, the golden retriever loves to lift his leg on everything out back. I'll just have to be more careful next time. I planted some forget me nots (blue flowers) from seeds and only one grew! It's blooming now, I hope it comes back next year like it's supposed too. Next time I will plant many more seed than I think I need.
Today I did the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 2 miles. I didn't lift my knees as high as before and tried not to pound my feet hard like they do on the video. Then I did some stretches with mom. I think it's going to be hot again today. I really need to do some lower body weight work tomorrow.
I did the upper body with 3 lbs wights section from the Precision Pilates tape. It was 92 degrees today. Yuck!!!!
Today I did the Leslie Sansone 2 mile High Calorie Burn 30 minute video. I am starting to wonder if all that fast marching in place isn't bad on your knees? My knees don't hurt buy I certainly don't want them to either. Then I did from The Method Balanced Zones on the third section I did the side leg series a the final 15 minutes of the tape. It's pilates side leg lifts etc. I didn't do the leg weight work I intended to and now it's to hot.
Today I did half a mile of the Leslie Sansone walking video then I did the upper body section of the Precision Pilates video with 3 lb weights. I think my posture is very good now from the weights and my shoulders are nicely sculpted.
Today I did the Lselie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 2 mile High Calorie Burn. It was good, hard but not to hard. Bye.
Today I did the Kathy Smith Lower body from the LWTLW video. It was a killer. Next time I think I'll just to the Lifting Weights for Dummies. It's easier but still a good weight workout.
Well so far I haven't exercised today unless you count walking from the car repair place to the bus stop.
This blog is mainly for me to keep track of how much I exercise. Borring for you, useful for me. I started doing yoga in Novemver 2002. I learned from Yoga Zone and other video tapes and books. Still do it but not regularly like I should. Lately I've been doing cardio exercise, something I used to hate. I like to knit but only hats and scarves. I have an 8 year old Golden Retriever.
