Once upon a time, I wrote a post about called Easing into Shape about the Couch to 5k program. Well, living in the south the whole jogging outside thing would only work from 3am to 5am. And as much as I want to be healthy, I don't think I could make myself do that. It would be a job and something I resented as opposed to enjoyed.
So while the hubby is making himself job in the afternoons, this delicate southern blossom can't handle that yet. (Maybe by the time next summer rolls around my heat tolerance will be higher). So instead I'm doing the dreaded work out video at home.
Luckily, I've found one that's actually pretty fun, so I thought I'd share it with you.
One of the things that I really like about the series is that each DVD has several workouts and that you can then select which ones you like the best and build your own routine.
Currently, I'm using Dance Off Fat Fast: a collection of basic dance/aerobics.
The dances are pretty easy to follow, even for someone as dance-handicapped as myself. And they're actually enjoyable. And I know that if I was doing the routines in a roomful of women, I wouldn't enjoy myself nearly as much. Self-consciousness would keep me from rolling my hips or shaking my butt too much.
The workouts also range from medium to high intensity (and of course are as intense as you want to make them), so it's good for big girls like me that are just getting started.
The series is enjoyable (and inexpensive enough) that I plan on getting several other DVDs in the series. It's nice to have an alternative when the weather doesn't cooperate with a walk.
