Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well, Saturday started off with the Budokan Maintenance workout. Yes, indeed it was the same workout, repackaged again! UGH! Anyway, if I decide to do Budokan again, I'll probably just use this one because it is only 30 minutes and easier to fit into my schedule. After that I did Winsor Pilates Fat Burning Workout. First of all, this really isn't Pilates. It's aerobics with some Pilates at the very end. It was a good workout, clocking in at 46 minutes, but definitely not what I was expecting. I'm glad I did it here though so I didn't do it after another relaxing Pilates workout and then get my heart rate back up for this. Mari should stick to Pilates though because her cueing was a little late so not the easiest to follow. After that was Winsor Pilates Maximum Burn Basics. After the Fat Burning on the same DVD, I thought this would be more aerobics, but it was a straight Pilates workout with all the basic moves covered. It was 22 minutes and a nice Pilates practice, but if you already have anything else by Mari Winsor, you have all these moves already. I then went on to AM Chi for Beginners and PM Chi for Beginners that I had recorded from either Fit TV or Wisdom years ago. After editing the commercials, they were each about 20 minutes long. I like these because they are very calming, a single exerciser on a beach. So I turn off the lights and light some Heart of the Ocean candles and enjoy the workout. Sunday I wanted to just do some relaxing and stretching type exercise, so I started with Winsor Pilates Accelerated Body Sculpting. This 50 minute workout is a total body Pilates that really got everything warmed up and stretched. Then I went to Winsor Pilates Bun & Thigh Sculpting. In 30 minutes, Mari kills your hips! I've had a problem with my SI joint for a few years and there were times in this workout that I honestly had to stop and have my daughter sit on my hips while I was in childs pose to help release it because it was screaming from this workout. That being said, I loved the workout! Yeah, I'm a masochist like that. I love feeling like I'm actually working even when I'm stretching things out. After that I put in my Yoga Zone mix tape and did Spinal Flexiblity (needed that for my SI), Personalize your Practice, and what I had of Breath. The first two were about 20 minutes after fast forwarding through commercials, but apparently there was only about 10 minutes left on the tape after them and I put Breath on there even though I didn't get all of it. They were all typical Yoga Zone. Nice relaxing yoga without the traditional sequence, which I really like because I hate downward dog. LOL I then finished up my day with Lower Body Chi for Beginners and Upper Body Chi for Beginners. These are two more Gaiam videos that I taped from either Fit TV or Wisdom years ago. Much like the other two Chi workouts from Saturday. The difference being in the Upper Body one, you use a Chi Ball to make it more intense. I was going for the stretch though, not the work, so I skipped the chi ball. After that, I thought I was done with that mix tape, but then I saw Rodney Yee! I fast forwarded though what wasn't labeled on the tape and found a Rodney Yee Yoga, Qigong with two people I didn't recognize, and 2 Sharon Mann yoga/pilates/chi workouts. Guess I have more to do to finish my goal for the year then I originally thought. I'll add the 4 extra workouts as I find the time, but it won't be this week. Okay, off to get some things done and find time to do a workout. Hope ya'll have a great day! Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
