First night:
I am such a weenie!
Did Denise Austin's mat work... for my 'stretching'
Then did the legs and buns part of the NAC.
I did a few stomach exercises from Callanetics also.
Well, I guess I didnt do TOO bad. I am really a weenie though... I was huffin and puffin... sweating like a little piggy
What a mental picture I am sure that makes
So, tomorrow night I intend to do pretty much the same... except I am going to do the arms, chest and back section of the NAC and PM Yoga after Callanetics. The workout wasnt very long, I dont think these will add more than 20 minutes. Probably total of 50 minutes.
For those who do not know what the Mat Work is from Denise Austin...it is the beginning of her Pilates workout tape. Basic movements (some are real killers!
told ya Im a weenie!) like stretching your legs, arms, sides. There are a few moves that really involve your abs.
The NAC is an awesome workout in my opinion. I followed it about 4 years ago and got great results. The legs consists of squats and a few aerobic type combinations. These can get your heart rate up a bit. For the buns there are more squats with focus on the gluts. There are exercises where you lift your leg behind you and out to the side a bit.... very beneficial.
And the Callanetics is a precision workout. You only more 1/16 of an inch for each exercise. For the stomach... I feel it targets better than regular crunches. I can actually feel what seems like the individual muscles getting worked.
So, when I walked up my stairs after working out... my legs were shaky.
It'll hurt tomorrow.
Til then,
Blossom
