Today's Workout (1/4/08)

Tonight was my last WHFN FitPrime workout for awhile. I did Lower Body Burn with Melissa Grill. I think I only did this one once before, and I remember it being ridiculously easy. Well, I didn't think it was easy tonight, but it definitely wasn't too hard (except for the bridge thing they did with a yoga block under your butt....my butt is so big that even when I do lift it, I'm still touching the freaking block!).

The thing I forgot about this one was that there was a move with a towel called "the Sassy" which totally cracked me up. How do you get sassy with a towel? Hmm....Sassyfitnessbug may have some ideas!

This one also had Tamela mugging it up, but she wasn't nearly as bad as she was in Lean.

Tonight I did WHFN FitPrime Upper Body Burn with Kelli Roberts. Some comments:

• I think I got a decent workout, and this was certainly more challenging than Lean (wouldn't take much, though).
• Kelli seems to make the same comments over and over (i.e., "it's about creating an illusion).
• About 3/4 of the way through, we did a long stretch....I thought it was over! That's really irritating. Anna did that in some Firms too, and I don't like the "tease."
  
• After the 1st stretch, we went into some Yoga thing. Being that I'm not Yoga-enlightened, I wasn't impressed....it was extremely repetitive. (Sun salutation, tall lunge, plank, downward dog, tall lunge, sun salutation, over and over and over).
• You definitely get a lot of lat rows in this workout.
• NO TAMELA screaming "LOOK AT ME!!! I AM AN ATTENTION WHORE!!!"

Tomorrow is WHFN FitPrime Lower Body Burn with Melissa. After that, I'm done with these for awhile.

Today's Workout (1/2/08)

Today I did WHFN FitPrime Lean with Kelli Roberts. A few comments:

• The workout was really too easy, especially the first half. I started sweating a bit in the last half when there was a leg press/dip move, but I don't think the workout had enough cardio in it to consider it cardio.
• Tamela Hastings. Oh my. WTF is she DOING?!?! I do remember doing these workouts a few years ago and thought she was completely over-the-top, but I tried to ignore her. Tonight I wanted to smack the shit out of her. There were some moments that she actually looked like she was auditioning for a porno with some of the facial expressions. And it's pretty obvious that she didn't know the moves very well....she was quite often "off."
  
• Kelli Roberts is a really good instructor, and I wish this workout was something I could use more often. But if I feel it's too easy now (and I'm completely out of shape), I can't imagine that I'll be pulling it out again.
  

Today's Workout (01/01/08)

Today I did WHFN's Fitprime Pump with Heidi Tanner. Great Workout! I broke a good sweat with this one. So far, this is my favorite of the FitPrimes.

Today I did WHFN's FitPrime - Flex Posture with Tamela Hastie. I think I got a decent workout from it, but it will certainly never be one of my favorites. It has a lot of yoga in it, and yoga just isn't my thing right now. I did buy some beginner yoga workouts awhile ago because it's probably something I could get into if I took the time to learn about it. I just haven't done them yet! But overall, good workout (even though Tamela reminds me of Tonya Harding!).

Today's Workout (12/29/07)

Okay, I remember the WHFN FitPrimes being relatively easy. So why is my body quivering after doing Metaboost?! I really don't remember it being like this. I might have to keep with these workouts for awhile longer. I really do love sets....they are colorful and interesting. Tomorrow is FlexPosture....

Today's Workout (12/28/07)

Today, I finished my Firm Basics rotation with the Abs, Buns, and Thighs Workout. I've done each of the three Firm Basics tapes three times each to start me back on my workout journey.

The tapes really are easy, but they are enjoyable, and I actually did sweat a little bit. I figured doing them would help me to build a base for the harder workouts that I enjoy doing.

For the next week, I'm going to do all six of the newer FitPrimes from Anna Benson. They are easier workouts as well, but I think they are harder than the Firm Basics.
