elliptical + yoga

[Guest guest]

hiya!

it is stormy here again today (what else is new?!?!) and we are

still housebound (have been stuck at home for almost an entire

week now). so since i couldnt go anywhere, i had time to

workout....yay!!

couldnt walk outside with chinook because of the weather (and man

is he ever getting mad... he hasnt been walked for quite a few

days and i feel really bad about it... ive promised him a long

walk tomorrow morning, no matter what!).

so i got on the elliptical for 30 mins... burned around 200 cals

in that short time which is really great. i just rocked out

with my mp3 player and the tunes that i normally walk with (which

i change constantly). some great new cuts are 'fame' by lady

gaga and 'mmm papi' by britney spears, among many others.

after that i decided to do 'pure & simple yoga' with eoin finn

again. this time i chose the beginner practice, which actually

is not much different from the intermediate practice. for ex,

eoin does boat pose and in the beg version he keeps his knees

bent, and in the inter version he extends his legs. little

things like that. he might say a few different things here and

there as well, but im not positive. to see the real

differences, i would have to do the practice with both the beg

and inter versions on the screen at the same time (totally

possible with this dvd!), but my impression is that the

differences are small. still a good practice for stretching the

hamstrings and groin/hips, and eoin gives good tips and

encouragement. 40 mins long.

got a total burn of 376 in 72 mins which i think is good for a

short elliptical ride and yoga. tomorrow i want to walk with

chinook, as promised, and do a short yoga practice (around 20

mins). this is basically the plan for the whole week.
