Hi,
Tina - a revelation just struck me, I said I have been doing more weights now than I have in a while, and guess what? I'm also more stiff, achey and out of alignment, too. Sometimes, these connections just don't get made until you see it in writing. I did a CS last night for the first time in a week or two and it was AMAZING the difference I felt afterwards. Maybe some bodies are just not meant for weights? Although I am curious about what you're doing w/ Tracie Long and going lighter - let me know how that works!!! Donna |

I wish I could do CS/Essentrics every day, but I just get bored doing the same thing every day and a dread factor sets in. Exercise ADD I guess! So I am settling for 3 X/week along with barre, KBs, cardio, & yoga.

Too funny -- I'm doing the exact same thing! I won't go above 5 pounds or my body hates me. I love these Longevity series because they are so easily modified and under an hour. I feel like it's a great workout and I'm working my spine and hips, too -- perpetual areas of soreness for me. I really like how calm and confident she is, too -- oh and she's 47 (or 48)!

now, I'm really curious to try Tracie's workouts w/ lighter weights. I haven't gone super heavy w/ my workouts - 8 lbs is pretty much the max I'm using.
but, since I'm feeling more sore, achey and out of alignment than I was before (when I was doing fewer weight workouts and more body weight/classical stretch/essentrics), I'm wondering if I just need to take more days off and do workouts w/out weights - or it could be a fluke and I'm sore/achey and "off" for other reasons. One never knows! Donna |
