Thursday - More Body Bar workouts!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I pulled out another oldie this morning - Balance,

Line & Strength with Clare Dunphy (who lead the Body

Bar Ripple workout I did on Tuesday). This one is

also part of the " Body Bar " collection. I forgot how

much I enjoyed it and had a great, alternative style

workout this morning. This one, like Ripple, is

focused on " functional " training - balance,

coordination, rotation, etc. Unlike Ripple, however,

this one is more Pilates focused. Clare has two

background exercisers with her who show some

modifications (such as a push-up on the knees,

modified planks, etc.) This one could be hard for

someone with wrist issues as there are many planks,

one-armed planks and other such moves which can stress

the wrist/hand. I used a 9 lb bar, which is what

Clare used. For some moves I probably could have gone

heavier, but this worked well. I really want to look

into getting more of these Body Bar workouts! I think

some have been released to DVD. I may check over at

the exchanges to see if anyone has any VHS they don't

want anymore.

Today is our settlement, hopefully it won't be

stressful. At least I have teh day off from work.

Wish we were going to settlement on our current home!

My ear is still bothering me - grrr.. I'm taking some

decongestants to see if that helps - it is like the

whole right side of my face feels huge. UGH!

take care,

Donna
