I have found it is not as exciting to blog about the exercise video routine as it was running. All three of us from our little running group are now in the routine of getting up and get going. We use a warm-up from a different video and it is a good thing because we are finding we are not so cooridanted or oriented that early in the morning to do all those moves. The cardio workout gets us ready for action with Jillian Michaels.
I find for myself that I am getting a little bit better at some of the cardio exercises and starting to move up to the advance “girl”. Behind Jillian are the two ladies who help her out. One girl is for beginners they other for more advanced moves. For the most part I am still at the beginner stage, but on some other areas of cardio and strength I am starting with the advanced girl.
We are getting use to what Jillian is going to say next, so we say it along with her. We like to joke and ask why they don’t ever use heavier weights or change their clothes. We are definately going to advance faster than they are! No progress on their end at all!
Now I am in the routine – even though I really didn’t want to crawl out of bed this morning! Next move in the healthy lifestyle – eating habits. It’s all about moderation. I do have an issue with sweets…they love me and of course I love them back. We are to love everything, including sweets! Now you know my downfall.
Moderation, here I come!
Sounds like you're going to need a new video soon to change things up! Have you thought about maybe using two or three and alternating them? Like Jillian on Mondays and Wednesdays, someone else on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then on Fridays do something totally different and crazy (like a dance video?) or something… might be fun!
Well, there is three levels to this video. You can turn her talking off, but we still need it to encourage us. I used heavier weights for a couple of the strength training ones today, so that helps too. I do have another video exercise that I planned on using on Tues & Thurs, but hasn't quite happened yet! Thanks for the comment, Faith.
Sounds like a fun routine, keep up the good work.
