Re: body combat/firm total somethingorother

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Darcy. I enjoy your posts too. You get

so much done, in between diapers and sick kids. I remember how physically

demanding young children are, and I wasn’t working out then, besides the

odd walk or hike. Perhaps if I had been, I would have had your

energy. J

I went with a Firm workout this morning, after a warm-up 20-min

walk on the tmill. Interesting to me is that I’m noticing my heart

rate is consistently higher in the morning, and even within the morning (higher

at 9am, than 11am, say). So I can easily burn 20 or so calories more on

the same walk if I do it earlier. Anyone else notice this? Is this

part of the whole ‘morning exercise is more efficient ‘idea and I

just missed it?

I did a total sculpting (something like that) plus abs. They

use the stick thingy, and I just use dumbbells. Skipped the step

too, and much of the leg work. Decent workout though, and at just over

200 calories, a good burn to boot.

More Snow Shovelling Max later. LOL I’ve been

thinking of Carolyn and Chinook in this mess – what’s this, day four

of snow? Unusually heavy dump for us, this early in the season, but my

kids are loving it. Sledding and building forts are their top priorities

now. J

Hmm, I'm going to check out my heart rate levels AM vs PM...I've been trying to do some kind of cardio in the morning but I go to bed too late...going to be on time may have to be my new year's resolution.
