My search for new workout experiences continues. I bought the Jillian Michaels DVD 30 Day Shred. It has 3 20 minute workouts which combine strength, cardio and ab work. She does a 2 minute warm up, then 3 circuits -- each with 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of ab work. Then 2 minutes cool down. It's pretty old school which made it easy to follow -- you do need some hand weights but other than that....pretty straight forward. I added on 10 minutes of incline walking to officially complete my 30 minutes.
I'm with you Jodie -- I have never ever in my life worked out 14 days in a row. This is a weird thought but it seems like taking the debate out about wether you will or won't work out any particular day -- sort of removes the gray area. So the voice in your head is only debating what the workout will actually be -- not if you'll work out. I'll tell you -- I'm pretty damn proud of all of us! A few weeks ago we were all making excuses and our story was about how we just couldn't do what ever it was we thought we needed to do -- but not now! Now the story is that we are on a streak -- how cool is that. Jodie -- I am really excited for you. Working out and feeling in shape is such a confidence booster in so many ways. From looking fabulous in that dress to feeling strong and disciplined. You should definitely try the Zumba -- I have heard it is a lot of fun.
Amazingly enough I found a Aikido class associated with Y I just joined. I can't start classes to April -- but it's almost like fate that I came across it. I looked on the internet and the yellow pages trying to find Aikido in Duluth -- but no luck until I joined the Y. I wouldn't have joined the Y if we wouldn't have started this crazy streak.
That's enough for now. If I have phone service out at Minnesuing I will call you Monday night. I'm sure I'll need some emotional consoling after a day with Susie.
