Thanks Jane for starting this check-in. I’d like to join. I’ve been exercising forever but the last few years I’ve been slacking off more and more. I had sciatica which was caused from a very tight Piriformis muscle back in December and it really set me back with what I could do until about early March and skipping workouts and a week here and there since then (and really even for the last year or so). I really dread strength work and now I’ve lost a lot of strength so need to get back on top of that. I would much rather do a step workout or go for a walk.
Last week I started back again after another couple weeks of skipping my workouts. I did Cathe’s Upper & Lower Body add-on workouts from her Basic Step dvd twice each last week along with some light cardio. I managed to do some type of workout every day last week except Sunday. Happy with that.
I’m hoping this check-in will help me stick with it a bit more.
Workout yesterday was Leslie’s 10 minute Brisk & Steady and Cathe’s ICE Metabolic Total Body Tismesaver Mish Mosh premix. I love this premix. It’s only 30 minuets and makes this workout much more doable for me.
Pam - You should try the ICE premix I did. It cuts out a lot of the harder exercises and makes it much more doable. Of course, I also use lighter weights than Cathe for most exercises.
SquishyMommy - I don’t have a spin bike but I really want one. I have a regular stationary bike but rarely use it.
Debbie - I spend way more time “researching”
fitness dvds than actually doing them!
GypsyRose - I have a few of Margaret’s dvds that I should pull out again.
Jane - I really like Kathy Smith. I need to pull a few of hers out to do also.
Glavtx - I really need to add in more stretching. That is part of the reason my piriformis muscle got so tight and gave me problems.
Waves to everyone else!
