Workout for Wednesday, March 21

Today was a gorgeous day and I was able to work from home.  This means I was able to squeeze a workout in at noon and take an hour long walk at night.

For the noon workout I did The Firm Total Body Time Crunch with Rebekah Sturkie.  This is a 45-minute total body workout with strength-building sections inter-spread with cardio.  I got a very good, sweaty workout.

Workout for Tuesday, March 20

Finally did another Firm workout!  I did The FIRM Jiggle Free Buns workout, led by Pam Cauthen.  This is a 30 minute workout utilizing the TransFIRMer.  It alternates cardio with sculpting moves.  I have to say, my heart rate really went up with this.  I think it was all of the tall box climbs.  Plus, I did this after workout after I went on a one-hour very hilly walk.

Although I haven't posted recently, I have been working out.  Workouts have consisted of walking, Turbo Jam, Cathe, etc.  I will continue to post each time I do a Firm workout until I can officially say that "I've done them all!"

Workout for Wednesday, March 7

Today I did Cathe's Pyramid Upper Body - Pyramid Up Premix (minus abs) plus a 2+ mile walk.

Workouts for Monday, February 27 - Tuesday, March 6

Wow...I've been missing in action.  Yes, I've still been working out.  I just haven't had a lot of opportunity to blog.  And I haven't been doing very many Firm workouts. I still intend to finish my challenge, but it will take longer than originally anticipated. 

I have two issues:

• First, I have a slight arthritic condition that sometimes prevents me from doing certain workouts.  There are several Firms that move more quickly (with twists, turns, etc.) and/or have high impact moves that aggravate my condition.  I can modify some of the moves, but there are some days I'm just not going to do it.
• Second, I have sooo many workouts.  It's easy for me to be consistent with working out, but very difficult for me to stick to one way of working out.  Also, with the weather getting nicer, I'm going to be taking my workouts outside.  DH and I enjoy walking/hiking and biking, and that comes first!

So it may take me a long while to get through them all, but I'll do it eventually!  Here's what I have been doing:

Monday, February 27:  Leslie WATP 2 Mile Brisk Walk

Tuesday, February 28:  OFF

Wednesday, February 29:  1 hour walk + Winsor Pilates Buns and Thighs

Thursday, March 1:  Leslie Sansone Walk at Home 3 Mile Weight Loss Workout

Friday, March 2:  The FIRM TransFIRM Your Trouble Zones - this is a 46 minute workout led by Kelsie Daniels utilizing a 5 pound kettlebell.  I like the workout, but I don't care for the kettlebell that comes with it (it hurts my hands).  I use a different one, and the workout is much more enjoyable!

Saturday, March 3:  OFF

Sunday, March 4:  Cathe Pyramid Upper Body - Pyramid Up Premix (minus abs) + Leslie Sansone 1 Mile

Monday, March 5:  Brazil Butt Lift High and Tight + Leslie Sansone Walk at Home Walk Your Belly Flat 3 Mile Walk

Tuesday, March 6:  The FIRM Sculpted Buns, Hips and Thighs + 1 hour (hilly) walk
SBHT is a 35 minute parts workout led by Tracie Long.  The entire workout takes place on the floor (in fact, I think it used to be called "Lie Down and Workout").  The title is a little misleading since a great deal of the workout concentrates on abs.  I enjoy this one, and like to squeeze it in after another workout or in the mornings.
