Total Body Sculpt & Stretch

[Guest guest]

I didn't expect to be able to workout until this afternoon and then I would have had to fight my own inertia to do it but I ended up getting one in this morning! I took my kids to school and waited with other moms until the buses took our 5th graders off to 5th grade camp. When I got home I was keyed up from that and DH being frustrated about work (no real news, the company is trying to find some in house work for them to do while they're trying to find new customer work which is really nice but he's still not happy) so instead of eating, this time I decided to work out!! I had a loaf of whole wheat banana raisin bread in the oven and about 1 1/2 hours before work so I figured with the 50 minutes the bread was baking I'd sneak in Total Body Sculpt and a stretch! This is the weight workout on Cathe's Low Impact Step DVD. It is 27 minutes long and was recently reviewed so I'll just add that I really liked it a lot! It was a quick total body hit using the ball and dumbbells. Cathe uses 3s but I decided to use 5s. They were just right, except I was dying during the shoulder work (lots of it and really good stuff). I haven't done a lot with the ball and this was very enjoyable and not too easy like I was afraid it would be. It isn't a killer but I didn't want a killer, I wanted a quickie that wouldn't make me sweat (I had to shower before taking the kids to school, it was necessary!) but would still make me feel like I worked out and this was fantastic for that! Afterwards, since I was using the ball anyway, I pulled out 10 Minute Solution Fitness Ball Workouts and did the flexibility workout which is a wonderful full body stretch. Excellent workout. I got it all done before the timer for my bread beeped too! Now I'm off to work!!
