Day 1
Boy! I can't believe how out of shape I am. I have been through periods were I have worked out everyday for months but this is definitely not one of those times. I thought for sure I'd at least be able to do the entire DVD even on easy/modified moved. Nope. The work out involves five parts:
- Warm up
- High NRG Cardio
- Body Blast
- Body Toner
- Cool down
I did the warm up, High NRG Cardio and cool down in about 40 minutes and I was sweating. It was definitely high energy! There were lots of jumps and then they threw in criss-crosses and then added arms. There were times I couldn't get my rhythm, so i just flailed about. Good thing I was alone and not in a class.
I wore my pedometer and heart rate monitor. I doubled the amount of steps I've taken today (totally over 6,600) and burned more than 250 calories. Think about what I could do in the with another half hour! Tomorrow I'm going to be sore but I'll try to add one more part (possibly two), but now, I must go shower.
Day 2
Today I was running short on time and just did the warm up, body blast and cool down totally about a half hour. I felt the body blast was a bit easy. It did involve weights (of which they never suggested a particular size). I didn't have weights so I used the Husband's steel toed work boots thinking they were heavy enough. They weren't, which also contributed to how effective I thought it was. I plan to give it another shot later with 1.5 liter water bottles, which weight about 4.5 pounds each.
Day 3
Well I'm still feeling the "weights" I did yesterday. Today, I woke up with full intention to either try the new section along with the high NRG. Then I realized it was 8am on a Saturday and people live right below us. So I considered a short run. The walk to the bathroom was killing my ankle so I decided to take today off, especially since we are going to Oxford and will more than likely be walking around.
