OK, so we are both hurting after last night. OMG!! My hamstrings and butt hurt. Therefore I decided to wait til evening to exercise. While driving home, I was trying to think what I could do that wouldn't use those areas too much.

I decided to do the level 2 Biggest Loser one, the 10 minute cardio one. It doesn't use weights or anything so I thought it would be OK. Overall it was, but there are hamstring kick runs and some lunges, and both of those were a struggle. Probably good to do them though to get the blood flowing and stretch those areas.

Then I decided to do the TJ Ab Jam 20 minute workout as we didn't do much core/abs last night and that would give the legs a break.

Got home after work and had time to exercise as Bill said he'd work a little late. Wasn't in the mood to do a long DVD, so decided to do a few different shorter ones. Did the BL Cardio 2 10-minute workout, plus the 5-minute cooldown, then did the first 10 minutes of the TJ Abs (wasn't in the mood to do the whole thing). So got some cardio and abs, totalling 25 minutes.

Bill's off again for another week away, so I again waited til evening when he was gone to work out. It's been pouring rain all day today, so I didn't want to go out.

Did the 20 min TJ DVD, wearing both the weighted gloves and my new ankle weights. Probably could put a little more weight into those ankle weights. I felt really good when that was done, so I popped in the BL DVD and did the Cardio 2 10-minute workout also.

Bill doesn't get home til late tonight, so I figured why get up early, I could exercise after work. Packed a bag to workout at All Saints, but as I left work I wasn't in the mood for that. Got home, changed and played on the computer a bit. Finally got going with exercise and decided to do the Biggest Loser Cardio 2 which is 10 minutes and the BL Cardio 3 (which I've never done yet) and that's 10 minutes too. Add the 5 minute warmup and cooldown/stretch, and it gave me a good 30 minute workout.

So today is the big WIN weigh in. I was going to get up and exercise, but then thought that might raise my blood pressure and I'd want to drink alot of water adding to my weight, so I decided I'd go after work. Then after work Jess texted that she was in the area and wanted to go to dinner. Went right away and chatted for a few hours, leaving me to get home after 8:30pm after a big dinner. Bill just came home also from being gone all week. I debated stopping by the work gym on the way home to workout but didn't really want to walk in the cold, change, exercise and get cold again, so I headed home.

I wanted to do an ExerciseTV routine for something different, but none would load--must be a problem with the channel. Arrrgh. I needed 20 minutes, but they didn't have to be too hard, right? So I loaded the BL CardioMax DVD and looked at the customize options. There was the 5 minute warmup, level 2 cardio for 10 min, then 5 minute stretch/cooldown. I've never done the level 2, but figured even if it was harder, it was only the 10 minutes. Did all that and actually like that level 2. It was high cardio, lots of jumping and running, but a good burst of a workout. After dinner, this was enough to break a sweat and get the heart up, without going too hard.
