Ohana Happenings

Exercise does work!

Posted in Unspecified

I've been exercising in my home using dvd's pretty consistently for the last couple of months. I've discovered that if I do not exercise regularly, my body starts to rebel and my knees and hips, etc. start hurting for no apparent reason. Once I start a regular exercise routine, however, the pain drops off dramatically. Now, there IS some pain in my muscles as I get in shape but I'm hopeful that it will disappear as I get more fit.

I started off using a basic pilates program that targets abs, butt, and thighs. I still use that one most every day because it's a great toner and helps me stay flexible. Then I realized I need more cardio/aerobic work, since I do not get out for walks as much as I intended. So I found a fun dance aerobic dvd. It has10 minutes segments that really get my heart pumping! That is basically what I use.

I feel great when I exercise and I am coming to rely on it for energy and feeling good physically. Now if I can just get back on the eating healthier bandwagon, I'll be good to go!

dance dvd name
It is called 10 Minute Solution, Fat Blasting Dance Mix. Jennifer Galardi is the instructor on the tape. I got it at Walmart and there was at least one other one with her.
