Cardio

Today was a snow shoveling day!

I decided to shake the workouts up a bit. I am getting really tired of Leslie Sansone.

So, I dusted off my Slim in 6 DVDs and did Start It Up. Nice change of pace. Then I did 45 minutes worth of snow shoveling today!

Today is snow shoveling! It's an icy snow mix, so quite the workout.

I might do a WATP DVD later.

Cardio and Flexibility

For anyone interested, you can get some free 20 minute yoga mp3s at http://yogadownload.com. To purchase the longer classes, it's only a few dollars. I like these a lot, rather than trying to watch someone and do the poses.

Today is Day 2 without strength training. It's weird.

Cardio: 15 minutes of a kickboxing workout, which then got too hard and complicated - so I popped in my Firm Cardio Overdrive and did that without weights (45 minutes).

Flexibility: Gentle Hatha yoga.
