Linda Wooldridge Lounge room inner/outer thighs.... DONE! (Saturday)
Rest Day Sunday
Ttapp basic 15 minutes plus hoedowns... DONE!
hit the floor combo... DONE!
I felt low energy on Saturday morning, so I did the inner outer thighs but did not put my heart into it at all. It was just a workout. I felt it, but didn't really FEEL it. It was OK, and at least I did something.
Rest day Sunday because.... why not?
Today I got back into it and did the basic workout plus hoedowns, which was great! I added on HTF combo (workout 2), and it was AWESOME. I love it. I hate organs in place where she has you scoop, then "tighten release. Tighten release" because I just can't tighten the muscle when my hands are scooping it away. I just never got it. this one she has you scoop, then remove your hands. I swear, I totally get it now! I will have to do my OIP that way from now on. I really felt it in my lower abs, and felt like a wall of muscle in my lower abs. I am glad I did this one just for that OIP!! Half of HTF was leaning back, so I got lots of triceps, half of it was on the floor. It was not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Taking 2 days off, I was thinking about how ttapp was easy and I should start something else. Then I did the workout, and I am changing my mind and sticking to ttapp for a while.
Especially since I get OIP now!! What a change.
I pulled all the tempos out... tempo workout, tempo legs, tempo torso and tempo arms. I might do them alternating days this week. That's my plan right now, but often my plan changes when I feel I have restricted myself too much!! HA!
She also talked on this workout about how your organs will go out to the sides since those muscles are the weakest, making you look wider. Ding! I have that problem. I often say I look skinnier from the side than from the front. When I did the crossover abs (cross one foot over other knee, pull elbow across to opposite knee type exercise) I could only get one shoulder off the floor, while she is getting both up plus twisting and controlling it all the way up and down. I have a long way to go on that one, plus I am weak there!! Some pretty good discoveries about myself going on with this rotation. I am loving that.
Yesterday it snowed all day, but it never accumulated. Today we are supposed to get 4" of snow, I'll be interested to see if it just falls or actually accumulates. This time of year the snow is basically slush, it's so full of water. Some sites are predicting up to 13" of this slush, which means for sure lights out. It gets soooo heavy on the tree branches and they hit the lines. We will see what happens!!
Today is swim lessons again, and karate if we make it. We'll see how much snow is on the ground!! LB graduates to green belt this Saturday!
Eventmom: For $25 I'd get a backup zip trainer!! HA! I am trying to get double of my equipment because I know in just a year or two, LB will be working out with me. I want to make sure we aren't fighting over equipment! She may decide to workout on her own to, but just in case, I am getting doubles. Zip trainer is really nice though. I use it sometimes instead of a step bench, use it as a bosu, use it to do bosu pilates (much easier than a real bosu!) and LB and I use it to toss back and forth and roll when we do a fun workout together. I love it... it's soft too so if it hits too hard, it's OK.
I remember it snowing here on June 3.. heck, it snowed on July 4th! So I can't say I am surprised to see snow. Just kinda done with snow and ready for spring.
Ebianco: the massage chair is the one I got for DH for Christmas... I think I spend more time in it though! I got it because he fell asleep in it in the store. I thought it would really help him out with his aching back. Now I find I use it to sleep and get a nice massage!! I love it. I can't imagine being without it now. It works so well!
I think when I think of Firm I think of the originals. I picked up a backup copy of Vol 3 on amazon for like $4 a few months ago, which was so random!! I couldn't pass that up! Ballroom aerobics, Tough tape, tortoise and hare... those are the ones I think of for OOP. the silly thing is that they are available on the streaming service, but she refuses to put them on purchasing as a download because she's afraid people will buy it, then share it with friends. So instead, she hoards it. Then she says she isn't going to do streaming forever and will probably just shut the business, which means all of that will be lost. So why not offer downloads? Makes no sense to me!! Offer the ones people are desperate for as downloads, charge $20. People will pay it!! So silly.
Ttapp is tied up in court, and just a few of the workouts are available on amazon or eBay. There are ttapp instructors that are putting out content, but it isn't Teresa. They are starting to add their own spin or ideas on it, and I am still a purist. Plus some of their personalities grate on my nerves, you can tell they are playing for a YouTube audience and seriously talk like we are a bunch of kindergartners. I'd rather have Teresa that treats me like an adult that doesn't need to be given candy to complete my workout.
So swim lessons today, then just school while it's dreary. Best time to do school, becuase we aren't side tracked with "let's go outside!!"
