Thanks, Deana! I love to read these "I lost inches with Leslie Sansone" threads because it proves we don't need to kill ourselves to see results. We just need a little consistency .... The fact that yoga has caused your arms to become sculpted is inspiring, too. |

http://www.ehow.com/about_5127120_ca...efinition.html Cardiovascular exercise, also called cardio or aerobic exercise, is physical activity which raises the heart rate to around 60 to 85 percent of the heart's maximum heart rate for an extended period of time, usually twenty minutes or longer. A sudden strenuous activity, such as lifting heavy weights may raise the rate to this range temporarily, but it is not considered cardiovascular exercise unless the elevated heart rate is sustained. |

I have my final days of YTT this weekend! It's been a huge physical and mental undertaking, and I'm glad I'll be finished. I'm slightly burned out on yoga right now, having done it 6x a week religiously from May through November. I will go back to it, but not yet. I want to give TA Meta time to work. Artist: I still want the Bootcamp workout really bad, and I just got Walk Off 10 Pounds and tried it yesterday. It was good! Thanks for all the great responses and encouragement ladies! |

Deana, thanks for posting your success. It seems that you have found the perfect match for you. I am hoping to add my yoga to my weekly workouts. Already doing Leslie. Your post is inspiring. It's nice to know that we don't have to beat ourselves up on a daily basis to get good results....it's about finding what you love, what works for you and sticking with it. Thanks.

Every little thing counts and people were in shape long before cardio DVDs and equipment were made. http://summertomato.com/non-exercise...ogenesis-neat/ And anyone who says vacuuming 3 floors of house for 2+ hours isn't cardio exercise is plain nuts! Sunday- When you get the Bootcamp workout I suggest buying new Figure 8s or using flat bands as the ones that come in the kit are really cheezy and don't offer much resistance. I use my Cathe/Altus flat bands and I get an incredible workout. I think I'm going to do that one tomorrow followed by the Pilates segment from Slim and Sleek. The Bootcamp DVD has a great set! The first mile is all walking then miles 2 & 3 do intervals of cardio and strength; either 5 or 6 in all with a little boosted walking thrown into the cardio portions. Walk Off 10 Pounds just makes me smile. I don't know why, but I just feel so light hearted and happy when it's over!

Thanks for the post...and congratulations on your achievements!
Over the years on VF, I have read a lot of posts that say the most effective weight loss "routine" was doing an extra "light cardio" every day...like a Leslie. I always got the impression that people started losing more weight doing this because of the extra activity; not anything specific but just because they were moving more during the day. If I do an extra workout (even a short kundalini or Classical stretch or Wii dancingsession), then I always drop a few pounds.
