Well I'm back in the game. I've replaced my WATP DVD's and I picked up a new one
George Foreman Walk And Box. My dad was a boxer and I loved to workout with him when I was a kid.

Here's my review: (Today is the 1st day of working out with this.)

On a scale from 1-10. I give it a 4.5.
The directions weren't very good and there was pretty much next to nothing in a warmup or a cool down. (she said do your own thing!!!) I did sweat by pushing myself hard. They don't say how many miles you have walked. I thought George would have a bigger part in the DVD but it was basically him making comments (some funny) and showing how to punch here and there. The workout was choregraphed by Petra Kolber and I think that should rename it Petra Kolber Walk and Box. I was hoping for a Tae Bo-xingish and walking workout and George to be the trainer. I'll continue to workout with this only because I paid for it and I hate to waste that hard earned cash. I would recommend that you save your money for a better workout video. Like WATP

OK, this is the week I get back into my exercise routine. No excuses! The past 3 weeks, I've only been exercising 2-3 times/week, and my weight loss has slowed way down (I didn't even weigh myself this week--I didn't want to see it!).

So far:
Sunday: Step aerobics and pilates
Monday: Step aerobics and tonight I plan to do pilates

I found that using 10lbs ankle weights and 5 lbs hand weights added that extra challenge. You might want to go with one or the other the 1st time. I believe I did 10lbs ankle weights and 3lbs hand. Another thing I did is put high energy dance/pop music on and I worked harder. I took more steps because I was going to the music. I got tired of hearing them talk. Which pertty much goes for all my workouts after awhile I like turn off their voice and put on music. I know WATP might not be for everyone one but I found that I could step it up. (add more weights) or bring it way down. (no weights when I'm sick) I hope this helps.

So I'm totally annoyed with my scale and my stupid plateau, which leads me back to exercise! I did an hour of Tae-Bo, I own the tapes and did the advanced one. It was good, I'm soaked, heh. I'm hoping after a couple days of this I will finally seem some results in my clothes or on my darn scale!!
