[AsSweetAsSugar]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

01- Rest Day.
02- Essentrics: Full Body Toning (~virgin 56 min.). FBT was a good workout, she did forget 4 stationary wind mills on the left, and she sometimes paused to explain, I did get a couple of extra reps while she explained, hate when instructors let you hanging like that (Mary Winsor... I am looking at you! I still love her wos though).
03- Rejuvenation Walk & Stretch: Indoor Walking Workout + Stretch & Flex. I was lazy today, but still managed to get my workout done.
04- Unplanned Rest Day.
05- Walk Strong 6WTTS: Total Body Training (~virgin) + Essentrics' S&SiM: Upper Body & Hamstrings (~virgin). TBT was more challenging than I Expected, I liked it. The Essentrics Stretch was a bit tiring while doing the Upper Body, it was very dynamic, but it actually felt great at the end, I loved the lower body stretches.
06- SanFran Fitness: 25-Minute Rebounding Workout to Boost Circulation & Lymph (YouTube) + Madi Morrison: 15-Minute Full Body Stretch (YouTube). I am sure I burned all the Christmas cakes I ate the last two weeks with that rebounding workout!
07- Unplanned Rest Day. Tired & Sore.
08- SanFran Fitness: 25-Minute Low Impact Rebounding w/Weights Workout(YouTube) + Essentrics Stretch Series Vol. 1: Full Body Deep Stretch (~virgin 30 min.). I loved both workouts! I ended getting some more Essentrics DVDs during the last day of their sale, the Stretch Series was one of them, I loved it, it felt really good. I also got CS Season 8, which was only $20!
09- SanFran Fitness: 15-Minute Rebounding Workout w/Stability Ball (YouTube) + Katami 4x4: Repair Rope. I enjoyed both workouts! I used my stretch strap with loops this time, I liked it better.
10- CSVC Vol. 2: Full Body Workout Vol. II (~virgin 55 min.). Great workout, it had some tough exercises like single leg squat with the other leg to the side few reps, leg work on the floor was challenging as well, I loved the stretch at the end, good total body workout.
11- Reebok Step: The Video (~virgin 50 min.) + CSS8: 801 Stretch All 600 Muscles (~virgin aprox. 23 min.). Reebok Step was very basic, but not easy, I liked it and I got a great sweat even at -21°C, next time I will use my weighted bracelets. I also enjoyed the CS Stretch, I skipped the tricep dips, since I did three sets of eigh at the end of RS, I did static tricep stretch instead.
12- Rest. Stomachache.
13- Prevention Walk Off Weight: Strength Workout (~virgin 54 min.) + Si6: Slim & Limber. SW was fun, different and dread free, just what I needed today. Based on the sweat factor, I got a great workout! It wasn't too hard, not too easy either, there were a couple of moves I was struggling with, the core segment was interesting, I also liked the balance work, and that she targeted the rotator cuff muscles.
14- Masala Bhangra: Bollywood Diva + Si6: Slim & Limber. BD is a fun workout, I need to do those bhangra workouts more often.
15- Essentrics Barre Workout: Standing-Barre Stretch (30 min.). I almost skipped my workout today, I was totally lazy, but I'm so glad I didn't, so I picked something familiar, instead of trying a virgin. Nice premix, the standing portion was challenging and got me sweating, the stretch with the chair is great, glad to have several pre mix options.
16- Rest day.
17- Essentrics: Class of 2012 (~virgin around 60 min.). Great total body workout, and the time went by quickly.
18- Wii Game: Hip Hop Experience (~virgin 1h 30 min.) + Si6: Slim & Limber. HHE was so much fun! I did the first 20 min. with the family, I then kept going since I planned to do about an hour of cardio today, but I was having so much fun that I kept going even longer, I didn't want to stop! The cool setting: ceiling lights off, colored led lights on and home cinema speakers on, added to the fun!
19- Prevention Walk Off Weight: Strength Workout (54 min.) + Quick Stretch (My Own). I was able to do the exercises I was struggling with last time! I still found them challenging, but way more doable. Yay, I love seeing progress!
20- CSVC Vol. 2: 30 Minute Express Workouts - Poolside Garden (~virgin) + Essentrics' S&SiM: Hips & Hamstrings Stretch (~virgin 25 min.). I liked PG a lot, I felt a nice burn in my shoulders, abs work were mostly variations of crunches, and then floor leg work and stretch, nice total body workout. H&H Stretch was great! It started with some stretches for the Upper body, then feet strengthening exercises, and Barre stretch, good stuff!
21- Active Rest Day. Shopping walk (2 hours).
22- Christi Taylor's Pure Spice Cinnamon (~virgin 55 min.) + Si6: Slim & Limber. Inspired by T2B I decided to give PSC a try, overall I liked, but it wasn't instant love, for some tracks I felt like I had two left feet, others I found fun and easier to catch, the format is like a Zumba workout, which I liked it, but I would have loved the option for verbal cues, I always choose that. I think I will enjoy it more the next time, since I was bit tired that day. My DD joined me for the first 20 minutes which was fun to do together, she loved the Egyptian inspired track, and so I did.
23- Rest Day.
24- Unplanned Rest Day.
25- Just Dance 2022 with my DD (1h 30 min.) + My Own Stretches.
26- Unplanned Rest Day. I slept 3 hours or so.
27- Essentrics: Full Body Workout Vol. 3 (~virgin 62 min.). Good workout, I really liked the feet and ankle strengthening exercises, probably because I need it so much, my left foot (toes and arch) has been hurting for months sporadically, I specifically feel it when I do lunges, if I take the time to flex my toes back and forth and stretch my arch it does go away, I don't know what it is. This workout gives you the option (from the menu) of doing the whole 60 minutes workout, 30 minutes standing, 15 minutes floor and 15 minutes barre. Nice total body workout, there were some new to me exercises.
28- Unplanned Rest Day.
29- BalanceBall Core Cross Train: Lower, Upper, Core and Bonus Stretch Workout (aprox. 68 min.). It has been a while since I have done this workout, I enjoyed it, I had trouble with some balance stuff, the bonus stretch was a virgin, I not even remember if I knew there was one, it is no written in the case at all, I liked it, but I would have preferred something with more static stretches.
30- Nada. Tired and lazy.
31- Dance with Lisa 5DLDS: Cha Cha (dust bunny) + Essentrics Body Sculpting Series: Ultimate Leg Sculptor (~virgin 30 min.). Wow Lisa warm up was a workout on its own, then the workout started and I was scratching my head, I had to go check the tutorial a bit and then came back, I did it! I think it is the first time I do it completely without feeling frustrated, I wasn't as grateful for sure, but I enjoyed it. ULS was pretty good and tough, I definitely got a nice leg burn, it is filmed in a lovely beach, 2 thumbs up!
