Self Workout


SELF - Trim & Tone Fast!Yesterday I did a SELF workout via hulu.  I'm pretty sure this video on the right is the one I did.  You can get it via hulu plus for free.  Might even be able to get it on regular hulu... but I can't really tell that.

I really liked it.  it's all about toning.  It goes through a BUNCH of arm segments (chest, back, shoulders, arms) and then it does lower body and abs.  Your heart gets pumping but I called it a "moderate" intensity workout.

Sadly, my arms don't really feel like that today.  I hope my boobs grew because my chest is SO sore.

I tried to do it with 8-5 pound weights, which is what I've been trying to use but it was NOT working, so I switched to 3 pound weights.  Much better, and I am still sore.  Not sore on my legs, just my arms.  My arms are definitely something I can work on, they are often the "weakest link" in my workouts.

Anyway, I like it and if you have hulu try it out.  It's about an hour long.  In my mind I want to do one dance/cardio workout/week, one yoga workout and one weights workout... it doesn't always workout that way but I feel like it keeps me more balanced.  And, of course I add in some walking and running to those...

In other news, I use cardio trainer to track my weight on Thursdays (with my personal weigh in date being on Saturdays, but I can't figure out a way to change it).  In 7 weeks it says that I've lost 6.42 pounds.  This is particularly interesting because I don't really prep for that weigh in.  I just plug in whatever I weigh when I weigh on Thursdays.  So, the fact that I've been slowly losing is a great feeling. :)  I do weigh in daily and it helps a lot.  I recommend it. :)
