Exercise TV on Cable...a blessing from above found on On Demand. Seriously. There is about every kind of workout found on this On Demand channel. There's walking, kickboxing, yoga, cardio, dance, and weight training/toning workouts. Some of these are almost a full hour, and others are ten minutes.
It is an exercise smorgasbord!
Lately, I've been trying out the "10 Pound Slimdown Kickbox" and the "10 Pound Slimdown Yoga" that are led by Chris Freytag. The kickboxing surprisingly doesn't have a lot of kicking...hmmm. It is a 40 minute workout and I know this because there is a daunting little clock in the corner of the screen that counts down the minutes. Here is my experience with the workout...
Minute:Second/ Thought
39:14 Okay, here we go...so glad I'm making myself do this.
38:05 This feels great - not bad at all!
36:33 My legs do not want to stand after those squats and lunges...
35:28 Chris Freytag is crazy - appears to be on crack.
34:00 I look like an ass.
28:00 I'm going to die.
23:12 Pretty sure I shouldn't have heard that sound coming from my ankle.
18:29 Jiggling, jiggling, jiggling...again, so glad no one is watching.
16:00 Water, water, water
13:21 I am POWERFUL!
11:33 Did the music just speed up?
7:45 Dear Lord,...!!!
5:32 I AM IRON MAN
4:13 Shouldn't we be cooling down, Chris?
2:20 Cool down...finally.
I DID IT!
Within five minutes of finishing, I suddenly forget that it was challenging at all, and say, "That wasn't bad at all." I don't know if it's my ego at work, or convenient amnesia so I do the workout in the future. This is why I decided to break down the minutes so you have an honest perspective.
I honestly love the Extreme Yoga workout - the one that is 20 minutes. It's perfect and feels great after the kickboxing. It makes the total workout last for a full hour and is a great stretch after the kickboxing since the cool down is lacking.
What workouts have you enjoyed...or have been making yourself do lately? Any suggestions?
