For reference: https://2lazy4gym.com/2022/06/17/walk-a-5k-the-fun-way/ I did Steady Walk for the 2nd time today thinking I'd only do part of it, but the few (four?) songs with lyrics interspersed managed to motivate me enough (along with Jessica's enthusiasm) to complete the whole thing again despite the fact that I normally get a bit bored with Jessica after 30 minutes or so. Since she doesn't have the countdown timer, I watch the digital clock that I have on the shelf right beside/below the tv and can kind of gauge where I'm at. I realize this is not the same as having the countdown clock on the screen but it's my workaround so I know kind of where I'm at in the workout without having to check my Garmin watch. |

I am going back through the Stretch and Relax workouts. I realize I may not have given them a good try out because the 6 DVDs all arrived the week I came down with covid!!! I decided I could do the stretches at least, but I don't think my brain was working very well. They seemed confusing and weird.
So I am tackling Rise again, doing it every day to get really familiar with it. I do like this one. There are some unusual stretches that threw me at first but I have mastered them (like the X sort-of-scorpion.) It is very relaxing and the music for all of them is great. I do substitute a couple of things, but do copy Jessica for the most part. I did like the Relax workout from the get go. So now I will revisit Rejuvenate next. |

I tried the Bonus Pilates Core (Ball) series workout today! I was looking for something short to do after a two mile walk, and this fit the bill. Was very nice, at only 13 minutes and I like it when I can use my (squishy ball) gadgets every once in a while. No endless reps, nice variety and all done barefoot on the floor! I found this one relaxing, as well!

I think I was a little too harsh on the Stretch DVD - my main complaint was that it was similar to others she released, but honestly, there is only so much you can do w/ a stretch routine - and I don't like stretch routines that throw in odd movements just to be "creative".
So while I don't think this one is a "must have" - it is a "nice to have" routine for variety and mixing things up w/ Jessica's other stretch routines and any other flexibility/mobility practices you do. Donna |
