I'm off to a yoga retreat for the next four days. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it-- first one I've done in two years. Because I'll be doing at least three hours of yoga a day for the next four days, I took it easy this week so far and clocked only fifteen minutes on the mat last night (although lots of walks, with dogs and without). Can't wait to watch my MMM numbers jump!
I Cried During Yoga So, after an incredibly hard week last week during which I did not exercise ONCE (not counting the walking to and from work every day), I finally got down on the mat on Sunday afternoon for 90 minutes of practice via Yogaglo.com. The entire practice, courtesy of Tara Judelle, was about how we move through transitions-- how sometimes hit that place where we knew where we were once, bu
Who Needs a Shake Weight When You Have a Boyfriend? ...seriously... After some experimenting with arm positions as seen on the infamous Shake Weight commercials, I have (very scientifically, of course) come to the conclusion, however obvious, that there is no need to buy expensive equipment to tone those hard-to-reach arm muscles when you have a man around the house.
Burn. It. Up. This morn I did CLX Burn It Up and also the Rechage Workout. Good workouts. There were some burpees and moutain climbers that I didn't do, but I think I've worked out a strategy. Also, didn't do the down dogs in Recharge. I'm having a block about this kind of movement. Going to find one of my yoga tapes and do it tomorrow so I can tackle the downward dogs.
Glee + Guthy-Renker = Such a Happy Night Oliver recently turned the SW office on to "Glee." "It's the voices of neurotic New York 30-something writers coming from the mouths of high school students, plus show tunes sensibility!" he crowed. Katie just confessed to watching it last night while sweatily building Ikea furniture. I confessed to having performed the following double laptop, Hulu + infomercial Pilates act twice already this week. Which maybe makes me a neurotic New Yorker. But I heartily recommend the workout anyway:
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Workout I reintroduced myself to Dr. Horrible a couple of nights ago. I love the moral ambiguity, the farce and the singing! So, Dr. Horrible served as the soundtrack to today's workout. At the end of my walk/jog, I said, so no one in particular, "Please give me a second to catch my breath... Balls." Okay, I didn't really, but I totally should have.
The Quickie I have decided that since working out makes me feel less like a large blob of an eating machine, I will make it a priority, even in the face of paper deadlines and final exam preparation. That might mean that the workout will be short and sweet.
Tracy Anderson, my arse. no really...the 20 min workout (you have to click on the link in Gwyneth's ridiculous blog to find the full 20 min thing) kicked my arse! ok, so I had a weird drink earlier that included artichoke liquor...so maybe i was feeling that...but ouch. if i really do this 3x/wk i'll be butt-tastic!
Friendly Inspiration Totally inspired by Yeahredgymnast, I started to run and jog in intervals today. I started small, since I'm not a strong runner, doing one minute of walking followed by one minute of running. After 20 minutes or so, I switched to one minute of walking and 1.5 minutes of running.
Wrist Sweat I'm not sure when it started, or why, but I choose to judge a good workout by whether or not my wrists and forearms get sweaty. So, today's ride on the stationary bike was a good ride. I varied the level of resistance and increased my time by a few minutes.
