Lori, is this a DVD or streaming? It sounds nice!!!

Yesterday I did Gilad's The 60 & 30 Minute Low Impact Workouts: 60 Minute Workout (63 min.). Great workout! It felt like a mix of CS (unweighted toning) and Leslie (walking cardio), and quite challenging to be honest! I had to take a couple of breathers during the abs segment. I wish Gilad had a complete hour-long walking workout only!! // As a site note, I remember that the first time I did the arms segment, I couldn't do all the arm circles, I was able to do the whole thing w/o break yesterday thanks to Miranda!

AsSweetAsSugar -I just love Gilad!! I wonder if I have this one? I will have to check.

I have been re-visiting Yoga Booty Ballet this week - the Lives and then I did Basic today - those came out in 2003/2004 - hard to believe - 20 years old!!

I love it when Gilad says “project your buttocks backwards !”

He always makes me smile with that phrase!

Cathe's Mega Step Blast. Strangely, my dvd player has been acting up. Good thing I still have some VHS tapes

I haven't done step regularly in a long time (I realized it was one of the causes of my headaches) and now I'm trying to get back into it, but only in small doses, 15-20 minutes at a time. Cathe's old workouts were divided up nicely so there are breaks at good intervals.

I've been doing a test week of P90X (2004). I'm going to start my modified rotation tomorrow.

Still doing P90X (so very modified, LOL!)

My favorite is Chest & Back. This is such a solid workout and easy to modify the exercises.

I really enjoy the basic stuff. It is easier to focus on the exercise.

I'm not doing pull-ups yet. But, I have so many options to work up to them.

Jane Fonda Step and Stretch - on VHS. It's "dated", lots of whooping, hollering, and clapping, but I was a little draggy this morning and wanted a party-in-a-box type of workout.

I just did a workout from 2003! It was called Pumping Rubber SPRI with Keli Roberts as the lead. Keli’s instruction was excellent and overall it was a great workout. She does a shoulder strengthening move that I’ve only seen in PT-type situations. Overall, I’m glad I have this one.

Warning: For those who like good production value, you’ll be disappointed. The setting looks like they set up in a random gym at the wall. Because of this, the audio is echoey and hard to hear. When Keli comes to the floor to stretch, I couldn’t understand a word, but I didn’t turn up my volume either which could’ve helped AND I’m losing my hearing as I age.

This clocks in at about 30 minutes with no impact. I’d rate this beginner/low intermediate which is perfect for me right now. I’ll repeat this workout just for the shoulder work alone.
