I keep forgetting to post here. I've been working my way through Lee Holden's 30 Day Qi Gong challenge and Cathe's XTrain and Perfect 30.

Walk Strong sets are not walking workouts, it's mostly toning and strength. There is some cardio, but not a regular walk workout. Here is the playlist with clips from her workouts. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...oZjU2skEKEap93

I have done all four phases of the Feeling Pretty remarkable Knee program.
The major difference between the phases has to do with the 'Load' or strengthening program. Each phase increases the balance, core or strength challenge. Equipment needed are a yoga strap, mat, dvd case, and sturdy chair. No weights are used. Each phase has a learn the phase and do the phase. 'Learn the phase' is chaptered and breaks the exercises into bracing, limber, load and lengthen for Phase 1 and 2. No bracing chapter in Phase 3/4. There's a screen introduction to each exercise, even the workout. Each exercise has a time bar on the screen. The first two phases spend time on what he calls bracing which is about engaging the core. Phase 3 and 4 don't mention the bracing separately just brief reminders and move along at a quicker pace. The 'Do the phase' are all roughly 20ish minutes. I'd say if you're not currently rehabbing the first two phases aren't necessary purchases. Phase 3 and 4 can be wrist intensive if that's a concern. I like these DVDs but they're not party in a box. This instruction is no nonsense and to the point. To modify would mean to do the lower number phase.

I recently finished a 4 week Nia Shanks strength training program along with walking. I was going to continue with another phase of this Nia Shanks program or another written program but I have been kind of bored by them. So I started doing Linda's videos again.
This week I did the following new to me downloads: From the Upper Body Light and Heavy Series I did the pyramid and reverse pyramid workouts. They were pretty hard for me because of the number of reps. I had to use lighter weights than she was using and it was still hard. I purchased this series on sale - she doesn't put out a lot of upper body workouts or at least I don't have many in my collection. I also did the Outer thighs and Abs workout from the Ankle Weight series which I recently purchased. I really liked this although I took the weights off for the abs section. Her abs work is plenty challenging for me without the weights. I am not sure if I will continue with Linda's workouts or something else until I get my mojo back to do paper strength workouts. I generally like following a program so I don't have to make decisions before working out. I have been taking about 3 long walks (5+miles) per week plus shorter dog walks. |
