Workout Du Jour: Postnatal Boot Camp (old style)

Today's workout was Lindsay Brin's older Postnatal Boot Camp.

Man, this a goodie.  There are SO many options.

I've been mulling over if I should take some workout DVD's on my trip this summer.  I'm not sure I will.  I think I plan to just do a lot of walking and borrow some workout videos if possible.

And a lot of napping.

BUT, if I was going to take a DVD, this would totally be one of them.  She includes 6 core workouts, and 10 cardio/toning workouts.  In order to make a 30 minute routine, I start one one of her cardio workouts, and then do a core, and then a toning one.  It works my whole body in 30 minutes.  I have a high heart rate and I'm feelin' "done" by the end.  I think I could do this DVD for a mont without getting tired of it because of all the options.  Also, I like how there's  break in between so if I need to go save the world I'm able to without missing out on part of the workout, or pausing it (somehow I hate pausing it, and yes -- I am serious).

My target heart rate is between 112 and 149 and this got me up to 150.  So, that's pretty good.

I also really appreciate that she has 3 levels on all the exercises.  On many of them, I am proud to say, I'm doing the advanced but sometimes I have to drop to the lower one, just to keep going.  Most of those have to do with my arms.

Puny little arms. :)

What'd you do to workout today?  Is there a video you love that I'm missing?
