Tues - TLT Endurance for Movement

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Today was " Core Synergistics " on the schedule, but I

decided to go for a susbtitute so I did TLT's

Endurance for Movement. Tracie Long leads this one

and it is a nice functional-fitness-type workout that

uses a stability ball, light weights (3's to 10's are

recommened - I generally stayed in the 5 to 8 range),

and some rags (to use as gliders for some of the

exercises). Everything is worked in this one, but

differently than with " traditional " exercise as you

are often changing the plane/direction of a standard

move, adding a balance or twisting element or

compounding movements. I definately liked the change

of pace. Tracie Long does a good job with cueing and

form pointers. One of the backgrounders shows more

beginner modifications and one shows more advanced.

My only gripe about this one, and the other TLTs, is

sometimes it takes me longer than it takes them to get

set up for the next thing - so there is more pausing

of the DVD than I would like. I also have a

relatively small and cramped space, so sometimes I

need to re-arrange more than they do, so that often

takes up more time as well.

The workout is about an hour and I felt like I got a

good overall workout in. It made a good sub for Core

Synergistics, which works pretty much the whole body

as well. I really do like COre Synergistics, I was

just in the mood for something else today.

Tomorrow is kickboxing, I have plans to do

Spreen's Absolute Kickboxing. (, what weight

for my body bar??) This one is 90 min long - not sure

if I'll have time for the whole thing or not. The

last half is done with a body bar to mimick " stick

fighting " or something. Maybe i can use my Amped

bar???

Either way, I'm looking forward to doing that one

tomorrow.

Take care!

Donna

Good job Donna!! I'm sure your amped bar would work fine. Maybe use some weighted gloves (assuming you have som), if you need it to be a tad heavier.DarcyOn Jan 15, 2008 6:53 AM, Donna M-P <

This is my frustration with just about every Firm type video, Donna. Unless you've done it a few times so you know how to plan and maximize time in between exercises, you have to pause the workout to set up, move stuff out of the way, etc. Sounds like a fun workout! It's still in my virgin pile :/
