3/4 -- 60 minutes Spinning class

(I usually do Pilates on Thursdays at 5:30, but the workshop is over, so instead of giving myself the day off -- which I strongly thought about doing -- I pulled my butt into gear and went to the 5:30 Spinning class instead! It's a tough workout, but I'm glad to have gotten in so much cardio. Yowsa are my quads tired...)

03/03 – The Firm: Tri-Trainer – All Cardio = 45 minutes
03/04 – Dance to Fitness: Workout 2 + Cooldown = 34 minutes
03/05 – The Firm: Tri-Trainer – All Weights = 45 minutes

I had an awful workout Wednesday. Haven’t done the Tri-Trainers set in a long time plus my energy level was so low while my dreaded klutz-factor was at its peak. Didn’t help that I mistakenly used the regular 10-inch aerobic box. After tripping multiple times I finally realized that they were using the 4-inch or 6-inch boxes during the cardio sections on the video.
I rebounded Thursday though. In fact, starting next week I plan to double-up my workouts on Tuesdays & Thursdays. (I posted that so I can’t weasel out of it!)
Got my new exercise video catalog the other day. No buying for me but I can look!

3/5 -- 60 minutes Pilates -- private session with instructor.

(Has anyone here done a private session before? It's interesting. Almost more like physical therapy than a workout. I enjoyed it. It was interesting)

Yankee, I've worked with a personal trainer before, but not a private Pilates session. It sounds cool.

Calamity, I'll make a deal with you... if you step up your T/TH workouts, I will step up my number of days... I've been averaging about 4 days a week and really want to move that up to 5 or 6.

Today- The Firm, Vol. 3, 65 minutes.

3/6 -- 0 minutes. (I skipped today. But I went yesterday, which is normally one of my 2 days off, so I'm going to try to get a good workout in tomorrow... after our morning drive to the recently-opened first Krispy Kreme donuts shop in western Canada! :-))

03/07: Yoga Mind & Body = 45 minutes
03/08: The Firm: Tri-Trainer - Better Body & Buns = 45 minutes

This feels strange - I usually post in here on Tuesdays & Fridays...

Hermione: You got a deal :-) ! I'm not going hard-core on T/Th, just adding BalletPilates on Thursdays because I love that tape and it really helps my control & coordination. Tuesdays I'll throw in a mix of shorter toning tapes - probably Lotte Berk, the Method, Winsor Pilates, and Living Yoga - to complement my Balletone video. These types of workouts may not be as muscle-fatiguing as The Firm but (for me at least) their more precise, graceful moves require more attention to detail and concentration. I got so excited last week when I realized I was able to do to my turn-out position so much more smoothly and with more flexibility. And my knees are prone to being kinda weak but I'm finally detecting an improvement in their strength & stability. Yea! After this I need to look at adding in more cardio.

Best of luck to you! (Adding on to your regular routine, I mean.)

Yankee_in_ca: I'd love to do a private session for yoga or pilates sometime just to find out if I'm doing the postures/exercises correctly! I used to have so much trouble with the Upward Bow pose in yoga but a few weeks ago something happened and I did it! Well perhaps not especially well but I did it! I thought "oh is that how it's supposed to be done?!" It would be fun to take a class at the Firm studio with one of their master instructors too.

P.S. I think I'm the only person in the world who wasn't impressed by Krispy Kreme donuts! But then again, I don't really care for donuts in the first place so I'm probably not the best judge. Now cookies...I gave 'em up for Lent and what do I see at the grocery store Saturday afternoon? Girl Scouts selling Thin Mints. D*mn.
