Today I'm off and resting my muscles.

70 min. Step Cardio & LBWO
Today I stepped up my leg exercises by doing more reps. OMG! Awesome workout and nice burn in my buns and legs.

Let me just say, I enjoy the Lower body workouts better!
But I have to shape these arms.

Ok, getting a little bored with my step. I'm looking into getting some Turbo Jam dvds. I'll still do some step cuz it is my fave exercise, but I just need to mix it up a little now.

ZERO energy today. Feeling so tired. PMS? Not getting enough sleep? So today I'm just listening to my body and taking off today.

Girl, you crazy! hahaha Are you doing this at home with a video or going to a class? What sorta stuff are you doing with your UBWO? Way to go, girl! You're an inspiration

Hey, you're my inspiration! You kick butt!
I do this at home with my collection of Step Reebok dvd's (with Gin Miller, she's the innovator of step aerobics, she rocks!). It's my favorite workout because it works your whole body and your fat starts melting. I used to love running (outside) but I have a bum knee and can't do it anymore. My upper body cardio is basically with my dumbells. I get my ubwo exercises from fittv and my magazines. Right now I only have 3lbs and 5 lbs but I convinced hubby to take me shopping for some new fitness stuff! He sees I'm doing good so he agreed! I'm getting heavier dumbells, a new stepper (I've had this stepper for more than 12 years and it's starting to crack! ), & some sports bras. Of course, my list is longer (I also want to get the weighted vest, and more dvd's!!! guess I'll have to wait for xmas) but for now it'll have to do. I love my "home gym" beacause it's convenient, less expensive, comfortable, and no waiting for any equipment!

Excellent! Yes, definitely get some 8, 10, & 12lb dumbbells to start. You'll be surprised at how strong you can get. In the past, when I have been strength building, I have curled 25lb dumbbells. It was a feat of strength for 4 reps! HA! I'm sure you could get to that within 6 months!

There is no better investment you can make in your body than getting a home gym. I have one too...some DB's, bars with weight plates to go on the ends, bands, a ball, an elliptical and a recumbent bike. I bought all that stuff before I became a trainer and had access to free gym memberships. Now hubby uses the equipment.

You're on your way, babe! Let me know what you end up getting and I can help you out with some exercise resources...there's a ton of good sites that trainers use for advice and new exercises!

I'm supposed to do a longer workout but pms is robbing me of my energy. I think I should've had some protein before the workout as well as after. I'll do this tomorrow and see how I feel.

70 min Power Step & UBWO (with heavier weights starting today)

TOM is here....need I say more?
