Addendum

Because I was So late to jazzercise I came home and did 24 lunges and 20 squats before feeding Oceana. I'm feeding her now and Once she's asleep I plan on doing an ab routine.

Jazzercise 3.1

Yesterday, instead of working out, I got caught up in a conversation with Brenda. Jazzercise is a 9 every day and I know there are other classes later I could have gone to but 9 works out great with Oshi and I. And I was lazy. And that laziness stayed with me all day. Basically, I didn't work out Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

I went to jazzercise today but ended up being 15 minutes late and my moves were uncoordinated, clumsy and not a complete effort. I realized that in order to keep myself motivated and working out I need to do something every day. Mon-fri I'm planning on jazzercise. Saturday I'll either go jogging or an exercise video. Sunday I'll take 20-30 minutes to stretch. Sunday isn't really going to be a work out so much as just keeping a routine. I need this routine because after a weekend of relaxation, I don't feel like going on Monday and on Tuesday I'm trying to get back into the groove of things so my workout isn't nearly as coordinated or intense as Friday, after I've been doing it all week. I hope that makes sense. :)

Basically, 9 am, every day, I will be doing something to benefit my physical well being.

Aerobics Video

I did the Karen Voight-Elle MacPherson video today. 40 minutes of it. Not much energy, and I didn't finish the whole thing, but it's a start.

I'm Inspired

Dear Melinda and Josie,

Thank you for exercising, and for blogging about it. It helps me want to do the same. Josie, I'm going to join you in your Karen Voight/Elle McPherson video experiment. This coming week I plan to do that video 3 times. Melinda, I'm proud of you for going to the Jazzercize class. Keep it up!

You Go, Girls!

Love, Mom

4 Days

I did my Karen Voight and Elle Macpherson video 4 days this week! Mon, Wed, Thur, and Sat. I feel...tired. But Kind of good. My goal is 4 days next week too and to feel awesome by the end of next week!

Jazzercise, week 2

This week we have been up in the fort worth area. I was able to find jazzercise up here and went to if Tuesday, Thursday and today. Monday I didn't have a car and was just plain lazy. Wednesday there was flash flooding going on and I didn't want to risk driving in it.

At first I thought jazzercise was an ok workout but I had a feeling I would have to do other things on the side to feel complete--I stand corrected. The better I learn the moves and do them correctly, the more intense it gets!

This jazzercise has been so great in many different ways. I'm working out, with a group that keeps me motivated. They watch Oceana for me, which is good for both of us! She's getting more and more attached to me, so its good. :)

Day 3

Another Jazzercise class today! I'm still learning the moves but I think once I do I will be able to feel more of a burn. Not that I don't already, but I wasn't as sore as I would have liked to be yesterday from the first class. Either way, though, I know I'm burning fat because I know my heart rate goes into the fat burning zone and stays there the whole hour. yay! Jazzercise is more aerobic than anaerobic and I think that's also why I haven't got as sore as I would have expected to. I'm used to working out to feel painfully sore, but only being slightly sore and knowing I got a great workout is quite nice.

Day 2

My friend, Tracey, and I went walking yesterday at the park with our little babinos. She has a 4 month old, Eli. I didn't time the walk but I'm guessing around 20 minutes. We were talking a lot too, so I think that burns extra calories. ;)

Jazzercise

Hey, I'm doing Jazzercise now. There are fifteen weeks until the first of May, when we leave, so I bought a prorated pass until then. I did my first day of class today and it was so much fun! I did get tired, but I can't wait to do more!
