Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 morning all, no real stretching last night i did a couple minutes but not enough for ME to count it as a full session. but a new day and i am feeling a little better(since knowing i don't have to work friday so i can help my scout leader set up for our yard sale and have plenty of time to help her bake some cakes!!!)didn't realize its time to move on with the strendurance workouts. but first i warmed up with shortcuts to big weight loss, the prevention workout i picked up at the thrift store.i did the lighter 4 min warm up which is a giant add on combo of step touches and marches etc. then i did cardio sculpt. cardio sculpt is AWT in that you do aerobic moves like marches,front heel digs etc while doing an upper body sculpt move. there are some lunges and squats in there as well but for a warm up this is a great starter to weight workouts.chris is awesome but in this one she doesn't go over alot of form which is not good for those starting out b/c this workout in particular moves rather fast. i then moved to my strendurance c workout here is the breakdownWorkout C - 0:30:07 (weeks 5 & 6)-warm up - flix, squats, jumping jacks - 30 sec ea, 10 squat thrusts-stretch-push ups, dumbbell rows, mountain climbers - 30 sec ea X3-stretch-squats, overhead press, high knees - 30 sec ea X 3-stretch-crunches, back hyper-extensions, front bridge (plank) all on ball - 30 sec X 3-stretch-squat thrusts, push ups, squats, jumping jacks - 10 eaagain very simple moves done at a high intensity pace. i did awesome today and even finished all the squat thrust with the help of gliders. i won't say the glider make the exercise easier but it helps protect my back alot more. but i can bet dollars to donuts that this is why my core was sore the other day after doing strendurance. the gliders add a super challenge to lower core which you know i need so i think i will stick with this modification for awhile LOL. afterwards i cooled everything down with tony little's back stretching.great back stretches but also does hip flexors and hammy stretches which really rounds it all out(especially during squats in strendruance). i did get alot of upper body stretches throughout strendurancei might do the other segments on preventions shortcuts workout. there is a kickboxing segment and a pilates/ballet segment. i think this was worth the $3 spent for great short warm ups to strendurance(and any other workout that i need a little extra warm up with). have a great daykassia ldy_solana's domainScouting for All Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like.-Will Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
