Workout Dur Jour: Double Whammy

Jillian Michaels: Yoga MeltdownOk, this morning I did Yoga Meltdown, the 2nd workout.  I won't be doing this again for a while as I felt like I was going to fall about 50% of the time, and it's hard to hold poses or really get anything out of it when that's the issue.  So, I will try and do 1 the next time -- and hopefully it's better.  It is a great workout though.  I really enjoy it and how it stretches your body as well as building muscle.  I find that I really enjoy large range of motion workouts.  I feel rejuvenated after.  Except when I feel like I'm falling.  Not so much then.  Honestly, I do think the 2nd workout is above me at this point though.  She has some really difficult moves in there.  This isn't my first time doing yoga either.

The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt
Last week I got The Biggest Loser Power Sculpt Workout.  I have to say, I am usually pretty positive with these workout reviews but... wait for it.... I really thought this one was too easy.  I mean, I had a RAGING headache the morning I decided to do it, but I sojourned on and I was doing JUST fine.  I mean, Jillian does an OK workout and hten that blonde girl (who must have been kicked off the show because i don't have a clue who she is) came  on and re-did Jillians workout with a few minor modifications.  Copycat.

But, then the guy came on (blanking on the name) and he did do a GREAT 10 minutes.  I guess the idea is that you add on another workout every few weeks.  Jillian's is really for a beginner.  I think if you're new to using weights or trying toning this is a great workout for you.  If this isn't your first few months with weights, you might just want to try the last 10 minute routine as a quickie after a shorter workout.  That guy works you hard.  Jillian also does a nice cooldown at the end, and does stretch your muscles pretty well..

Anyway, it only got done once, usually I try to do my netflicks ones more than once, but this one just didn't hold my attention at all.
