Needed a running/legs break today after 4 days of running. I didn't want to blow my one rest day this early in the week, though, so I decided to do the TJ Ab workout. That is a tough one. For some of the floor exercises, I tried to lift up a bit further than normal to push it--and I can feel it.

Got up this morning and decided now to do the Ab workout. Only feeling a little tight from the Monday workout and this is low impact on the legs with just some slight squats and a few leg lifts. Going to try to run tomorrow, so wanted another day of rest.

Monday, monday.....

After running hard both weekend days, I decided Mondays needs to be an off-the-legs day. Therefore I will probably do abs more on Mondays. Did the Turbo Jam Ab workout.

While Bill ran to get lunch, I decided to do a quick DVD. Had a long run yesterday, and running again tomorrow, so just wanted to do something that wouldn't strain the legs too much. Did the Ab Jam DVD.

Couldn't get up to work out this morning, but finally did as I knew I had stuff at night. None of the DVDs sounded interesting, so I did a combo of the first 10 minutes of the TJ Abs one, then did the Biggest Loser Cardio #3 one for the last 10 minutes.

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.

I'm going to dinner with mom tonight so got up early to work out. Although we did some core work last night, I figured I could do more. So I did the TJ Ab workout...boy that's really tough by that 15-20 minute mark point.

Ok, so I didn't keep up too well on posting here, so I'm writing this on Thursday and can't remember what I did on Monday. I know I exercised in the morning to a DVD, as I had a GOP meeting at night. But I can't remember which routine I did. I'm pretty sure I did the Turbo Jam Ab Jam, then also added just a few of the floor butt exercises from that bootylicious routine I did last week.

It's still bitterly cold out like it's been the last few days, so I'm definitely not running with the group. Decided to do the 20 minute Ab workout from Turbo Jam, then I did the regular 20 minute cardio Turbo Jam workout. Good combo workout to get something a bit longer in, but with good variety.
