Today Logan isn't feeling well :(. The upside to this is that he wanted to take his nap, sooner than later :). That meant that I got to exercise earlier in the day :). Yaay!
Not to go all "IM" on you guys, but OMG! Yesterday I promised that I was going to do Phase 2 in the Slim in 6 series called, "Ramp It Up!" (RIU) and I did! It was 48 minutes long and kicked my butt! I am all sweaty now and am afraid to think of how I am going to feel tomorrow (soreness). Right around the last 20 minutes was the hardest for me. Debbie has us get on our hands (well elbows) and knees, and do various leg kicks, then push ups, then do the other leg--so hard! I will be very proud of myself when I can do the whole thing without stopping or laying on the floor in defeat (should have taken a picture of that lol).
There is like 4 sections to RIU. The first section is like Start It Up with plies and such, but faster. The 2nd part is with the resistance band (that came with the series). I really enjoy this part. I used to have muscles and loved working them! The 3rd part is the floor exercises from hell--pushups and the leg kicks...ouch!. The 4th and last part is stretching and yoga, which lasts for 5 minutes. I felt my arms quivering in the "exalted warrior" position.
(exalted warrior position)Thanks for reading and thank you for the encouragement that I have been getting from you guys! You really help me do this, more than you know!
If there is anything else that you guys want me to include in the blog, please don't hesitate to ask!
Happy exercising and see you tomorrow!
We can do this because WE are stars!

I'm so glad we can enspire each other! I can't wait until my back is better enough for areobics, I used to love to do that kind of exersize. I did the yoga again today, and did the exalted warrior! My fav is Triangle and Childs Pose. I almost didn't do it today. I haven't been able to sleep and slept in late. But I got out the DVD and did it anyways and I am so happy I did! I remember when I shaved my legs I could feel the hard muscles of my legs. Now they are all flab, but today I feel them tighetning up again! Not as much as before, but at least it's not all flab anymore!! YAY! Good going today!! *pats Melissa and self on back*
