I found this dustbunny and I don't even remember buying this one, LOL.
Today was The Firm Fat Burning Cardio Toning workout with Tina Smalley. Was easy to follow along, not too many reps and sort of a fun way to work with the tubing. Kept it on the gentle side. Up too early today and have been a zombie. ;-)

Today I did the Firm Cardio Burn with Tamela Hastie. I have not done this workout in a while and it is still as hard as I remember it being. Soooooo many plyos! I looked at the back cover and thought...really...this came out in 1999? I bought it new on VHS when it was released and then purchased the DVD from fitness favorites. One thing I did not remember about the workout is how fast the moves are performed. All the lunges are done at super speed so I could not lunge very far. But I did remember all the times Tamela says, "This is fun!" Still a great workout!

Last night I got out Jane Fonda's Personal Trainer Series. I haven't picked it up since doing an awful program from it - the Low Impact Aerobics with a pregnant lady wearing an empty barrel with suspenders.
I went with the first half of Abs, Buns & Thighs which was a very good low impact / squats and lunges circuit, followed by the stretch workout from Low Impact Aerobics & Stretch. Both were led by Jane and not the pickle barrel lady. The two worked really nice together. I loved the routine of Abs, Buns & Thighs but could have done without the flesh colored tights and thong leotards, that looks so cheesy now. I got a chuckle out of the hairdos on the other two ladies - so dated, the post-perm "OMG what were we thinking" short dos that look silly now. I wonder what we'll think about our hair in the future. |

I picked up KV's Lean legs and butt. It was nice to do a lower body workout that didn't require me to hold weight in my hands. So many do this nowadays so that I don't feel like I'm giving my upper body a break. This is a squat fest in the beginning. The high step works great. I liked that I could add a loop to the initial squats to increase intensity. For the faster combos, I used my BOSU. I didn't have to have the volume up because nothing is fancy in this and could use my own playlist to keep it fresh.

Dusted off the Great Weighted Workout today :-) It’s a long workout, but the time went quickly until I got to the ab section which seemed to drag on and on. It’s a wonderful workout though.

My DH also does fitness videos. He usually does workouts by Cathe, Cory, Gilad, Tony Horton, etc.
I walked in to our workout room and he was doing the old Buns of Steel (1987) with Greg Smithy. DH said he was bored and just grabbed something different off of the shelf. Yes, he was sore the next day.

Hi Everyone,
This morning I pulled out Oxygen In, Calories Out w/ Charlene Prickett. It was a nice one to re-visit. Filmed in an old theater turned nightclub, so not as nice as her outdoor settings, but way better than the white background she used later in her filming career. There is nothing quite like Charlene's low impact - it gets your HR up, is low impact, but it is not "walking". I am thinking of a back-to-basics January. I also pulled out Yoga for Stress Relief w/ Barbara Benagh - that one isn't quite as old but it is a dust bunny for me - I did the SI Joint practice, one of my favorites from back in the day. Waves, Cola! It has been ages since we "talked" Donna |
