The FIRM: 90 Day Rotation

Day one:

Bust and Butt
Five Day Abs, day one.

DONE

By golly, I'm going to do this rotation come hell or high water!

Tonight instead of walking, I'm going to do a step tape. I'm thinking Jenny Ford's Step by Step!

Gear Up! Starting a Rotation Monday

And here it comes, The FIRM's 90 Day Rotation. I've wanted to do this for so long, but right now the timing is perfect.

Will be doing add ons, mostly step/rebounding because if I don't, I won't make it the whole 90 days.

Pretty excited.

And I'm back! Surgery behind me, recovery behind me, depression behind me, new kidney diet under way...time to find that new normal.

Leslie Sansone 2 Mile AHA walk

Gin Miller Step Reaction--the fast one

I feel good! Tomorrow is weights day!

FitPrime G-Force 2 with Carol Britton

This is one of my favorite workouts. Love, love, love it. It's a rebounder workout and my heart rate soars plus it's fun!

The bad thing about today's workout? I had no energy. Many times I noticed my feet were not leaving the rebounder, yet I was bouncing--it's called a health bounce when you do that. I did not do knee lifts. I felt fine in the uterus area, but I am wondering if it may be wise to stay off the rebounder until I see my doctor later this week. I don't know if that bouncing around is good or not.

On a positive note, I did not wok-wok-wok with Leslie today. Nice break. I could love or leave Leslie, some of her workouts I like but I find them all as much fun as watching paint dry on a wall. Worked around the house like crazy but didn't get much done, but I did end up with a step count over 20,000! Yay me.

Don't know what I'll do tomorrow except it's a strength day. Maybe a Gin Miller ramping video-that's a nice break from Leslie.

3-Mile Express
The FIRM: Maximum Body Shaping
Leslie 30-Minute
Leslie AHA 1 Mile




Oh, busy day! Not really. One walk in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

Now I did lift some weights yesterday and technically one shouldn't do weight days back to back, but yesterday I only used 5-pound weights so I felt okay to do it today. The heaviest I used were 10-pound bells, so I still took it light.

Was a little nervous to do tall-box work. Surprisingly, it caused me NO pain. I think it was slow enough that it didn't cause a problem. Funny, I couldn't do the knee raises and kicks in this workout--nor the Leslie workouts.

The really surprising thing about doing Maximum Body Shaping today is the only thing that caused me pain that I had to stop was the French press. Hubby couldn't believe it, but he picked up some bells and noticed it actually does engage the lower ab area. So, I just didn't do that part. Yesterday's workout had French press but I was sitting. I think that may be how I'll do them from here on out.

I broke 20,000 steps today! Woo-hoo. That is always my goal, except when I've got the pain thing going on--that's when I reduce my goal in half and get there by doing the Tim Conway shuffle.

Felt okay today, cramping but well enough to move around. So,...

Leslie Sansone 2-Mile AHA Walk
Leslie Sansone 3-Mile Weight Loss Walk

FitPrime Just Right with Anna Benson

The two-mile walk I had to break in half because I started cramping. Left the DVD on pause and finished it after a half-hour break.

The 3-Mile I did this even when I felt more energetic. Still had cramping, but was able to do just fine the whole way through.

Neither walk did I do the knee lifts--that hurts too much. I march in place. Same with kicks, I don't do those. I do side steps instead.

FitPrime's Just Right is a pretty easy workout with weights, a touch of yoga/stretching and some light cardio. It was just right for today. My body felt SOOO good after I finished! Felt so stong with my 5-pound dumbbells. lol (Just kidding, but I'm taking it pretty darned easy.)

Starting Fresh Again...

Will start blogging my workouts daily in January.
