Well the temps are down to a more reasonable level so I am back to working out this week. (I admit to not working out last week but the outside temps were up as well as my fever.) Here’s the plan:
I may also try to squeeze in a couple new DVDs I have — Strong Knees and Aligned and Well: Fix Your Feet. I have issues with my feet and my knees which can get in the way of my fitness goals so maybe these could help. How about you? What are your workout plans this week?
Today I did Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s 30-Minutes to Fitness: Weights workout. Actually I only did Biceps/Triceps/Shoulders, which is Workout 2 on this DVD. It’s actually a bargain of 2 great workouts on one DVD, with some great premixes including different active rests between sets (abdominals, standing abdominals, and cardio) and a couple total body premixes. It’s really a great workout for the price (currently on sale for only $16.95 at Advanced Workouts).
I actually briefly reviewed this workout a little over a year ago, so I’ll try not to repeat myself too much, but I just want to emphasize again that it’s a great workout. With the workout I did today, she does one exercise for each body part (biceps/triceps/shoulders), then repeats it twice. Then she’ll do an active rest for a couple minutes. Like I said, I chose standing core work today–nice to occasionally do ab work that doesn’t involve traditional crunches. (more…)
