Guest guest Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi!I have been super busy this week - both at work and in life and I don't think I checked in at all w/ my workouts, so here is my wrap-up:Sunday Couch to 5K on the Treadmill (this workout was 20 min of straight jogging, plus warm up for 5 min and cool down walk for 15 min). I also added on yoga. Monday - Gilad's Total Body Sculpt Plus, Workout # 1 from the Peak Perfromance DVD. I think these were the ones that Carolyn was mentioning - they are edited from the hour long TV series - there is a set of 3 DVDs, I have two of the DVDs (Peak Performance & Functional Fitness, I'm missing Cutting Edge). I REALLY liked this workout. It was challenging without being "dread" full. Gilad was really pleasant and encouraging (I wasn't sure I wanted all that testosterone - but he is great!) The DVDs are well chaptered and they are structured like this: Warm up (dynamic type moves) Sculpt # 1 (in this particular workout it was lunges and variations and then some upper body work w/ bands) Cardio (boxing moves) Sculpt # 2 (can't recall the lower body moves but we did do a lot of planks and variations)Abs & Stretch there were some minor editing glitches - as in you go to "break" and when you come back Gilad is doing something else, but it wasn't horrible. I now have the final DVD in this series on my wish list along with the other TV series he put out - Total Body Toning (I think Carolyn has that one). Tuesday - a.m. - 20 min of Pilates w/ Carribbean Workout p.m. Walk/Run outdoors * *I think I have decided to bag running - it really is not very comfortable for my whole body. For instance, I never had knee issues but since last week I have been having pain going up and down stairs. I'm taking this as a sign to not borrow trouble. It isn't like running is so important to me that I'm willing to risk injury to the point of where I can't do other workouts I love. I also don't enjoy doing things that require me to be super careful and worried about potential injury. I think I'm actually going to look into racewalking. It isn't that I'm competitive but I do like to move fast! Wed - Yoga - from Yoga for Athltetes - did a 30 min practice from the "running" menu Thurs - Gilad's Total Body Sculpt Plus - Peak Performance Workout # 2: Warm -up Sculpt 1 - floor work for hips and thighs - yikes! Push-ups and variations Cardio - Boxing Sculpt 2 - squats and leg lift variations, shoulder work Abs & Stretch Friday - Haven't done it yet - but taking a walk and will do 20 min of yoga. Ok - I think I'm caught up! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Great week, and good call on the running. It might be fun to try something else. I'm going to start adding some running intervals, but I can't do that kind of a structured program, and sometimes what I really need is a low impact climb up a hill to get my HR up.
