Dvds with pink on the cover (including instructor's clothing) or side.
1.
Jessica Smith 3 Weight Loss Walks - 30 minute Fat Blaster
2.
Tracy Anderson, Jessica Smith - TA Mat Beginner - Chair Sequence; TA Precision Toning - Arms; 10 Minutes of Jessica Smith's 15 minute walk (3 weight loss walks dvd)
3.
The Firm Cardio Party - one of the Pink Firm workouts. I did it all, even Allie's chapter, even if I still don't know how to dance. I actually enjoyed it once I reminded myself that there's no one here to see me.
4.
Ellen Barrett Skinny Sculpt - I didn't remember what weight to use, so I grabbed 2s to be safe. Good choice! 3s would have killed me.
5.
KCM Cardio Pump - Cardio Leg Pump premix - I didn't remember there are only two leg chapters in the Pump workout; I felt ripped off. haha So I skipped the last cardio chapter and went back to the leg chapter, then did deadlifts, squats, and reverse lunges in the time allowed. My lower body is already sore.
6. rest - too sore to move! I told my husband about the soreness and he reminded me that it was the extra set of legs that I added on and then said that maybe "she [KCM] knew what she was doing" when she created that premix. haha I guess so.
7.
Hi Def Sculpt Pink Firm virgin. I liked it a lot, although sometimes Annie's not the best at cuing. She even caught Allison off guard once. I wish I could have gone heavier for some of the moves, but the combinations made it difficult.
8.
Breathless Body 2 The Death - oh, that's not the name of it? You could have fooled me. My face was red by the end and my head was sweaty. eww haha I don't think I'd done this in its entirety before, and if I had, I sure as heck wouldn't have done levels 2 and 3 like I did today. For the plank quarter turn, I realized my hands didn't like the plyo, so on round 2 I did step out w/pushup, round 3 I did plank moguls. This may have been just as bad as Tracey S. Metabolic Conditioning, which I may revisit since she's wearing pink. bloody hell.
9.
Jari Love Weights & Abs - Jari's W&A is from her Body Rock dvd. She said to get heavy to medium weights for chest, so I did and grabbed 15s. I don't know why I did that. The workout isn't new to me, I'd done it before. I was dying. I had to grab 12s more than halfway through, at which point it occurred to me that I normally use 10s. Oh well, now I know I can go heavier. I used 12s for biceps (also used 10s previously), but whereas they use 5s for shoulders, I use 3s. So I felt strong throughout until I got there. I also used my Lebert Equalizer - 15 inverted rows using both bars, then only 6 pullups using one bar.
10 minute Leslie Walk Away Your Waistline
10.
Ellen Barrett Grace and Gusto
11. out of town
12.
Love Your Lower Body - Total Body Blast - this was waiting for me in my mailbox when I got back, so I did it since there's pink on the cover. I ended my no-buy last week after my team lost 3 series in a row. Two other dvds will be delivered today: Beach Babe 1 and Beach Babe 2; I'm so late to the BB party.
Leslie WAYW - mile 2
13.
Fe Fit Cardio Circuit 3 - my left hamstring felt weird, so I didn't do burpees because I was afraid to jump back, I stepped back instead. I can just hear Tony Horton say, "It's not a contest to see who can rip muscle tissue," or something like that. I cringe and laugh at the same time. I was ok to do everything else as-is.
Leslie WAYW - mile 3.
14.
Pure Pump - I like the main workouts, but not a fan of the first part of abs, it's so repetitive.
15.
Slim Sculpt - I normally do only the standing but decided to do it all since I could use the ab work. There are actually PINK clothes in the workout! There are quite a few instructors who wear pink on the covers but wear something different in the workout. They also had cute little pink dumbbells, so now I want them.
It's nearly as hot as hell, and I had trouble sleeping last night, so I might skip tomorrow's workout. Ugh, summer is the worst. I need a personal trainer like
Little Sugar to keep me motivated. She sounds so adorable!
16.
Jessica Smith - Upper Body Circuit Walk, 15 Minute Calorie Burst - from the dvds: Metabolism Booster and 3 Weight Loss Walks.
17.
Baladea - Boost - I still like it! It has some challenging moves, no repeats, and doesn't kill me. There are some breaks, but I just keep moving.
18.
Firm Cardio Overdrive - Ugh, why must workouts make me use my brain? There were several moves I couldn't get because I learned them a different way, so although I tried to do it their way, I kept finding myself going back to what I know. Also, for some reason I kept lunging forward (which I tend to avoid) while being told to dip rear. DIP REAR. What part of that would make me want to go forward? It's like I couldn't stop myself. I think doing cardio drill workouts has made me stupid(er?).
19.
Squeeze - Power Squeeze. Whoa, that wall work really works my behind. I was going to do a cardio and lower body workout tomorrow, but I'll have to have a backup in case my butt's too sore. I added foldover plank for more glute work. This dvd gets stuck on the final stretch. grrr I hadn't used this workout in years, so I don't even know if it had done that before or if it just decided to bug me today. The final stretch in the full workout plays fine.
20.
50/50 Cardio & Weights - just the cardio, which was easy to follow
and made me sweat like crazy
21.
Firm Zip Trainer Sculpt 1 - last night I was thinking of how sick I was of my pink rotation, because there are no workouts left that I actually
want to do. I just so happened to look at the ZT cover and saw the giant pink ball on the front, so I looked up the exercises and it was just what I was looking for.
The workout is short, so I did it twice, which was good because I was pretty darn klutzy the first time through. I used 12s for round 1, 12s for the first few exercises of round 2 until I got the deadlifts where I switched to 15s, also skipped the upright rows and continued to do deadlifts. Finished w/ 4 minutes of the Jump Start workout.
22.
Kristin Dowell Dressed Up Drills - The Just Cardio premix. My favorite part was when it was over. haha It was tough! But it wasn't your basic, boring drills, some of the moves were new to me and I caught myself smiling a few times.
23.
Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow - I don't know if I'd done this before, all Ellen's look alike. a-ha! I had done this before, here's my quote from the JTW April 29 "Ellen Barrett Fusion Flow - bought during Mary's recent sale; a few segments were tough. Some people think Yogini is her most challenging, but not so to me. I felt my shoulder more than triceps doing "diamond pushups" and not in a good way, so I'll have to pay better attention to her cues next time, I think I did it wrong. " Oops, I did it again, like last time, my shoulder hurts. I don't know how I didn't remember not to do that move.
24. no workout planned, going to let the vampires take my blood, so I'll need to fast.
25.
The Firm Hard Core Fusion - there were a few goofy moves, but I really liked the boogie down part.
I wasn't sure if I was going to do all or cut it short, but a pain in my side made the decision for me. I stopped at the 42 minute mark. So far, my blood tests are normal. I was particularly interested in my blood glucose levels because of some symptoms that correlate with diabetes, but thankfully that was fine. (82) I'm still waiting on a few more results.
26. no workout, my side hurt
27.
Bottom Line & A Core Defined - bottom activation 2, ba 1. These don't have warm-ups, so I did the first few minutes of the standing portion without the loop as my warm-up, then added the loop. I also did
JS 3WLW - first 20 minutes of the 40 minute walk. The remaining blood tests were normal. hooray
28.
Cathe Turbo Barre - I was surprised to see a pink Cathe. I didn't think I had any, or that it even existed. wu, leg conditioning, stretch. Surprisingly, my glutes weren't sore from yesterday's workout, but I do expect them to be sore after this. They were getting sore
during the workout. haha
29.
Piloxing - According to my notes that I keep in the case, I hadn't done this workout since 9-2-15! So I guess for some reason I do it at this time of the year, every four years? I only did the cardio portion because I thought the toning portion was 20 minutes (don't know where I got idea), but I found out later that it was only 8 minutes or so. Oh well, next time! (2023, from the looks of it)
30.
nothing. During Piloxing I looked in the mirror and realized just how thin I am. Since I don't weigh myself, I didn't know if I lost weight, and I tend to wear loose clothes so that wouldn't tell me anything, either, although my "tight" pants haven't been as tight. I weighed myself today and didn't like what I saw, so my plan for September is to move less, eat more. I'm going to cut back to 4 days of exercise, with walking and light movement on other days.
31.
Pop Physique Original Butt - there's no way in heck I could have done some of those ab moves without the squishy ball holding me up. There's not as much butt work as I would have liked, but it's still a good workout.
Thanks to this rotation, I made myself do the Pink Firm and Zip Trainer workouts and to my surprise, I liked them enough to want to revisit them next month. And, like a true vidiot, I want more Pink Firm workouts.
