Well tonight I did Crunch: Candlelight yoga. Nice video, but I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND. I think the rest of this week, I'm going to have to do Bikram. It's the only yoga where my mind actually 'clears'.
Tonight I also did half of Rockin' Body, and the 10 minute ab section of Progressive Pilates. I must be WAY stronger than when I first got that video years ago, because it was super easy...kind of a bummer.

I did 30 min of Cardio then took a Yoga class at the gym. Umm yeah it confirmed what happens every time I take a Yoga class. I don't care for it. Its boring all I think about is all the stuff I need to do and the fact that I'm not flexible. Does it count if I pay someone to strech me out for 20 min they have this deal at the work gym where they strech you out for 20 min to help you get more flexible. Too bad I can't use it this week since I'm traveling Wed - Tuesday.
Ok this is sad I wandered past B&N on the way home from work and went into the DVD section. I wound up picking up WATP 3 with Get up and get started, High calorie burn and super fat burning and some weights you fill with water, I also picked up Bollywood Burn.
Thanks kat for turning me into a video crack addict

I Hiked Mt Fuji in Japan in AUGUST 2006
1000mg - Calcium
50,000IU Vit D once a week
1000mg fish oil
1 prenatal vitamin
Iron Supplement
B Complex
Checking in for the night. I power walked and then did 30 minutes of The Firm Bootcamp maximum (I think thats the name). I stopped so I could do the Yoga but I only lasted 10 minutes if that. It was so boring. I need to find a different tape.
I think it was you, Pam who suggested checking out Netflex. I don't have it. I did check on the library online but it looks like it is broke. I like those 10 Minute Solution DVD's.
My thighs are finally feeling better. That was terrible. Nice to be able to walk up and down stairs "normally".
I am so tired. I can't think anymore. Good night.

Well, yoga week is well timed for me, since I am taking a mini-break week anyway.
So, I did 30 minutes with my trainer (legs and abs) 35 minutes on the elliptical and a 60 minute yoga class.
I did find some parts of the class a bit distracting: I'm a bit more advanced than the level where the class was taught so it wasn't a reach for me. It was nice to stretch and relax though. I will probably do exercise TV yoga a few times this week, since the only other session available falls during my Saturday appointment with my trainer.
I think I am going to try a short run in the morning...if it doesn't feel good I will walk instead.
OK...off to bed!
Night!
Tori

I got up early this morning and got in my core work. I'll finish up this evening with some lower body and yoga. I know yoga is boring, but I crave quiet and calm so it's something I'm enjoying. I probably won't continue it after this week, though. The only reason I'm able to do as much as I can is because of the flexability I gained from pilates. Otherwise, I'd be screwed.

I know I won't but I might pull out some of my stretch dvd's (that I've never done) and add those to the mix. I'm still FAR from as flexible as I need to be - especially in my legs and hips.

Going back to the 'exercise addiction' issue from last week's thread...
Quote:
Prevention of weight regain hinges on high amounts of physical activity
According to much of the data available, physical activity plays a critical and pivotal role in the prevention of weight re-gain. It is absolutely crucial to successful prevention of weight-regain and one of the best predictors for long-term success, said Dr. Wyatt.
High rates of physical activity are closely related to long-term successes in prevention of weight re-gain. Several studies have been done in an attempt to quantify the amount of physical activity require to prevent weight re-gain.
So what is a 'high rate'? According to experts quoted below (who are the top researchers in weight management and weight loss success from the National Weight Control Registry) the amount is closer to a minimum of 80 minutes per day.
So when someone accuses you of 'exercise addiction' for doing 90 minutes to 2 hours...they simply don't know the research. Exercise sessions 'alone' in that time frame don't fall into the category of 'exercise addiction'.
Quote:
Physical Activity Recommendations: How Much is Enough?
Substantial data now show that that a high level of physical activity, maybe as much as 80 minutes/day, is required to maintain a substantial reduction in body weight. This is more than twice the current recommendation for physical activity, according to Holly Wyatt, MD. Dr. Wyatt reviewed the recent available data on the amounts of physical activity needed to prevent weight re-gain following weight loss and discussed the critical need for data about how much physical activity prevents weight gain.
Over 60% of American adults are overweight or obese, according to recent studies. Over 54 million Americans are currently dieting, but the national obesity rate continues to rise. Alarmingly, only about 20% of individuals who do lose weight are able to keep it off long-term.
Weight management is also a critical component in the successful management of individuals with diabetes, especially those with type 2 diabetes.
What physical activity recommendations can clinicians make for overweight or diabetic patients who want to lose weight or prevent weight re-gain? The topic is controversial. Dr. Wyatt presented data suggesting that the current recommendations for daily physical activity fall far short of the levels required in clinical trials to prevent weight re-gain.
Current recommendations may not be high enough
Current recommendations from the US Surgeon General Report and the National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommend 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise most preferably all days of the week. These recommendations developed to improve cardiovascular health and fitness and not to produce weight loss or prevent weight gain or re-gain.
A common misconception, said Dr. Wyatt, is that 30 minutes/day of physical activity is all that is needed to achieve or maintain a weight loss. People feel that if they walk for 30 minutes a day they should lose weight. It is important to note that the current recommendations were not based on what is necessary for long-term weight management.
Here is the full article that the quotes were taken from:
Well, I'm heading into the Y now for my AM workout. I have a Yoga class, then Zumba, then I'll finish off with some lower body weight machines.
I think I'm in the minority here this week - I really enjoy my yoga class. It feels so good to me to have a long stretching session. Granted, I only go once a week. The idea of doing it more than once bores me. LOL. So I guess I'm not completely into yoga. I incorporate some poses into my cooldown daily, and the class once a week seems to get all the built up "kinks" of the week.
Will check in later. Off to sweat.

Anyone have a bosu? Last year, my trainer used to have me to all sorts of core and balancing exercise on it. Some similar to what's seen in these clips:
My mom got me a DVD for Mother's Day. I think she was trying to get me a DVD from the Slim Series. Anyway, before I return it I was wondering if it might be any good. I can't find a review of it anywhere.

they have this deal at the work gym where they strech you out for 20 min to help you get more flexible. Too bad I can't use it this week since I'm traveling Wed - Tuesday.
