Hi Everyone,
I'm back! Ok, first off, Peach...you are hilarious! I didn't mind the soap box at all. You are so right about taking control of your life and health. I just found it funny how many things you listed that I have tried also: vegetarianism (that was tough 'cause then I just ate more carbs!!), running (my flat feet, knees, hips and back told me the "what's what" and I have to give that up in a hurry - too bad because I was getting real good, too!) and Body For Life (I never got all the way through it. Intense working out 6 days a week is not my thing and the diet wasn't too yummy!). Last year, I tried P90X. It was fun while it lasted but again, really intense (6 days a week...when will I learn? )
I find that as time goes on, I need to do things that are far less jarring on my joints. I don't enjoy hi impact anymore. Now, I would rather do pilates, yoga and walking. I also do a bit of ballroom/latin dancing in my basement. That's a fun way to pick up the pace. By the way, I just turned 34 (last Sunday) and though I don't look my age, the years of high intensity training, martial arts a various injuries have really left me feeling achy and older than I should (and sometimes a bit lazy). How's that for a 180?
So, I did my second fluidity workout. I definitely enjoy it. I love the stretching. It's really helping me a great deal. I'm a bit hard pressed to stay with the beginner workout though. I'm considering moving on to the intermediate because I've been doing the Bar Method workouts for the past couple of weeks. What do you think? Part of me wants to stay with the beginner workout so I get my money's worth out of all the dvd's
Well, I've gone on for far too long. Thanks for lending an ear. You guys are a fun bunch.
Until next time...
