Xuzi Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 DVD workout last night...I had been looking for this so I could complain about somehow hurting my neck while doing JM No More Trouble Zones :glare: She does too many lunges for my poor knees, I end up doing a lot of modifications...or actually completely different exercises when she does long stretches of moves that are hard on the knees! Walked an hour on the treadmill this morning :D My 23 yodd recently gave me a pair of her old jeans...and they fit!! Can I just say how good that felt :lol: That's awesome! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love JM -- but she has been murder on my knees. :glare: I've been a distance runner 30 years and have never had a problem with my knees till doing her jumping jacks. I modify ANYTHING of hers that requires a lateral knee movement -- funny, lunges do not bother me, but anything lateral of twisting with the knee (moguls) - forget it -- I do something else. FWIW, I think that No More Trouble Zones is one of her more challenging dvds. I am doing Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and trying to gear myself up for NMTZ.

Hoggirl Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Wednesday: Jillian Michael's NMTZ with 8-lb weights on all but the first circuit (5-lbers there) I have NO idea why, but this video has gotten so hard for me to do! I used to do it three times a week!!! Well, almost all of it. I think there were two circuits I only did one time through instead of two times through because of time constraints of homeshooling (I used to exercise early, before we started school and before I even ate breakfast). At any rate, although I have increased my weights from 5- to 8-lbs on all but the first circuit, it now wipes me out like no other. I have to take breaks along the way, etc. etc. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I did P90X2 Recovery and Mobility as the schedule dictates. I really needed it. Phew! We have a substitute BJJ coach who is fit (our regular coach isn't, God Bless him) and so he likes his students to be fit as well - 400 sit ups, 300 jumping jacks, 100 pushups, and other crap.

Although I have divicusomethingorother, and he told me to not eat whole seeds. I need to grind them first. So no more of my favorite GF crackers. Negin, I own that Austen DVD.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Wed. - swimming Thurs. plan - Zumba My plans are just not meshing with dh's this week. I had to miss Zumba again:crying: but put in 40 min. on the elliptical trainer. Swimming is such a hard workout! I'm a bad swimmer. I can keep myself from going under, but not for very long. Never learned to swim properly or well. Well, I'm just teaching myself to swim so I doubt I burn a lot of calories on swim nights. People here have been helpful in giving me tips. Coincidentally, I had asked here for info. on breathing while swimming and last night I discovered the source of my problem. I do great with swimming with my head under (and breathing to the side ) while in the warmer kiddie pool but when I go in the colder lap pool my muscles contract and I can't get a good breath.

My 7 yr old joined me for the yoga. I think, if my memory serves me correctly, that this was one of many that I ordered in the recent fabulous sale at Total Fitness DVDs. I like the Crunch DVDs. :) My dc used to take yoga classes. The teacher's not here anymore and they're not interested for now. I hope they take it up again someday. Our ds needs all the help he can with posture. I have to keep nagging him to sit up. I really dislike nagging. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
