Wow--I'm a "newbie" to these boards and I was just browsing through this morning--HOW AWESOME you are! I envy your movitation and dedication! May I ask, what is your daily schedule (How do you fit all that exercise into your day?) Also, your routine with alternating cardio one day and then weight training the next is really nice. Do you do all of this at home? I do have some free weights and I'm interested in possibly doing the same thing--I have a LOT of FIRM tapes and WALK AWAY THE POUNDS tapes, etc. that I could use for my "warm up" but I just need some sort of weight routine---I don't know where to start--where can I find a routine--I'm not familiar with all the exercises that you're doing. Any advice would be great YOU GO GIRL--you're awesome!!!
What diet are you doing (South Beach, Atkins, general low-carb, etc.?)

Girl first start a journal. I wanted to respond in your journal but couldn't find one for you so I'll just respond here.
the tapes - Tae-bo, Firm, Crunch, Slim in Six - all those workouts are done at home first thing in the morning. I usually get up around 3:30 - 4:00 to get that workout in. Than the cardios: running, stairmaster, elliptical training, stationary bike - they are all done in the afternoon during my lunch hour. I'm lucky in that my building has a free fitness center that I can use. I workout 6X a week.
I alternate strength training and cardio becuase I just don't want to get burnt out and want to give my muscles a little time to re-coup. And that's the same with all the different tapes I have, I don't want to get burnt out. I think for starting out weight training... The Firm Body Sculpting tape is a great workout. It works all parts of the body and you use different size weights for each part. It's about 1 hour long but it does give a good workout for beginning weight training. When you are ready to move up and concentrate on particular parts of your body, I suggest the Firm Upper Body and Firm Standing Leg Work tapes. Great workouts.
I love Tae-Bo I really do. I think it's a great cardio workout. I have to admit that's my favorite and that's always incorporated in my weekly routine.
I'm doing Atkins and right now I'm in maintenance even though I keep losing weight because of my exercise routine. |
