I absolutely have no excuse to not walk these days. I have the ideal scenario. Despite the ice on the ground, I was able to get my intense 1 mile walk in by just popping in my dvd. My dh works from home and is willing to man the chaos of the morning while I go in the bedroom and do my ‘thing”
I will admit, I despise exercising, it’s not fun for me, nor do I feel this gust of energy after wards. Never have, probably never will. However, I want to lose weight and be able to see my grandchildren someday. I have set a very doable goal for myself. For the month of January, my goal was to walk 1 mile 3 days per week. I exceeded that goal, except I missed one day. Oh well…try harder this current month. Not going to throw in the ringer for missing one day. Each month I succeed my goal, my reward will be a new video or some sort of work out attire. Since I almost reached my goal, I got a new video. This is a much more intense 1 mile workout than the 1 mile one I was currently doing here. I enjoyed that dvd due to the weights that was included with the dvd. However, I used my own personal music selection or talking audio during my walk.
I have lost about 5 lbs which isn’t saying much since I have gained weight over the holidays. But the key is….to move forward and focus on my goal.
Do you have any workout videos that you rely on?
I love the Leslie Sansone videos. I have about six or so. I also use the original Biggest Loser DVD for strength training.
I just bought one of those in the beginning of the year at Costco. Haven't tried it, yet!
