Monday check in

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. Quick check in. Friday I tried a new (to me) WATP from the

library - Walk Away Your Waistline, 3 miles. It even came with the walk

away belt thingy. This would have been a good one to do on the rebounder,

because it didn't really get my hr up, even using the belt. Actually, I'm

not sure the belt is that great anyway, as the resistance isn't very high (I

suppose you could hang on to the tubing, as opposed to the handles to make

it harder), and it wasn't used enough in the workout for me to feel

anything. Certainly wouldn't take over for weights, at least for anyone

above a total beginner. I probably won't take it out again. Anyways, 45

mins, 216 cals. (plus, I shudder at the thought of using the foam handles

on the belt after it's been through the library system - ewwww - but that's

just me)

Saturday I walked on the tmill, three times, for a total of 51 minutes, 256

cals. Yesterday was a rest day, so just 20 mins walking (inside, on the

tmill - I'm a wimp, unlike Carolyn <g>).

Today I walked for 15 mins, then did Cathe's Total Body Sculpting (thanks

for the trade, Carolyn!), which is a nice little workout. I especially felt

the triceps extension while draped over the ball (wow). At 30 minutes, this

is a good workout for a time crunch day. Then I walked again for 20

minutes, and ended up whacking 274 calories in total.

I'm thinking of doing Cathe's beginner rotation. I don't know if my knees

can handle that much step, though, so I'd have to swap some out for just

walking or doing the aerobics without the step. Plus, since I've been doing

more difficult Cathe's, I would be concerned about losing strength...I

printed out a ton of rotations off her site, but I'm waffling on what to

do.
