Workout Du Jour

Today I did Total Body Workout from BYU TV.  I DVR'd it. 

Once again, at the beginning I thought maybe it was too easy but as we progressed into it (it was about 50-55 minutes long) I really worked up a sweat.  She did some great stuff with weights.

I do this show often, but I mention it because you can pull up their workouts any time from BYU TV, you don't have to DVR it (on that page that I linked the episodes are right there... how easy is that?).

• They have 3 levels all the time, so depending on your level of fitness or energy you're always going to be OK.
• Deni is really positive (and my BFF's mom, imagine that) and gets you through it.  She's totally the opposite of Jillian, but I think each one has their place.
• There are pregnant women doing the routines (not all the time, but often) and this is a great idea to do to understand what you can/can't do while pregnant.
• The clothes are really modest.  To some this might be a downside.  While I do admire some people's 6 pack, sometimes it just creeps me out.

Anyway, I loved it today.  It was just what I needed.  I also love that my cardio trainer app now says that I've burned 1000 calories this week.  Go me.  :D  Wait, that doesn't even include my Yoga from Monday.  Hmm...

I'm trying to do Yoga one day, a dance-type workout (probably followed by a bit of weights) one day and an aerobics/weights workout another day... and on the off days (except Sundays) do something fun.  I went walking with a friend on Tuesday.  My favorite kind of workout.

I forgot to mention that working out is my main hope during the holiday season.  It's something I can do and I find that I enjoy it (most of the time).  I hope the build so much muscle I can eat whatever I want. (yeah, right).
