Friday - Crunch & Turbo Jam

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Today was strength - I decided to do a combo of

workouts - i went with Crunch's Fat Burning Ab Attack

and give it two thumbs up! I'm not really sure how

much fat burning you'll get out of this workout - it

isn't really aerobic - but it does contain a nice

medley of both standing and lying ab work. Definately

good for a change of pace on ab work and if you are

like me and hate boring old crunches. yes, there were

some regular crunches in the workout but it was

interspersed with standing ab work (kind of kickboxing

and dance inspired) and planks. The workout is well

chaptered so you can easily do just segment or two -

or just the standing or just the lying ab work. It

was about 30 minutes long. Instructor was good and

the setting was typical Crunch, large, varied class.

After that I did TJ's Lower Body Jam, it is so funny

how I'm enjoying these TJ toning workouts now when I

was so lukewarm about them when they first came out. I

definately liked this one today. It uses light

weights and a circular band (a regular band tied in a

knot - I use the circular band that came with the

Tamilee Webb defy gravity workouts as I hate messing

with the knots on bands..>) I think I would like to

try it with ankle weights instead of the band at some

point....Overall a good one, though.

I would have liked to add on some upper body, but my

DD was up by then - so I'll try to add some on

tomorrow or Sunday.

Tomorrow is cardio - not sure if I'll do a TJ

kickboxing workout (Cardio Party # 3) or a Tae Bo or

Janis saffel - or maybe I'll do step or hi/lo for a

change of pace from all the kickboxing.

Hope everyone has a great day - I need to get in gear

to get DD to gym on time...we're both very slow in the

morning -- it always amazes me that I can wake up so

early yet still not be ready to go anywhere until 9 or

10!

Take care!

Donna
