Hi!
For several years I walked outside only, building up my time walking to about 4-5 miles at a time. I walked even in the rain and in the snow. After a bad snow experience of falling in a pile of sharp ice (OUCH! BAD BRUISES!
), I decided to walk INDOORS with Leslie!
I started with her 4 mile Super Challenge because I figured that was where I was in my outdoor walking. I think the pace was better indoors with her DVD than what I had been doing outside! (I walk in neighborhoods and spend a lot of time slowing down to look at everyone's flowers or compairing THEIR lawns to MINE!)
I then went to our library and took out a bunch of other DVDs and videos just to see what was out there. I got hooked on yoga next and also Richard Simmons. That guy is SO encouraging!
I branched out to Denise Austin's DVDs and also Karen Voigt for cardio. I REALLY LOVE Turbo Jam and do it at least two or three times each week. From there I also added Iron Yoga and most recently Gilad's step aerobics.
I mix it up because I would get bored doing the same thing day after day. I really like having the videos and DVDs because I have no excuses NOT to do them! The weather is always beautiful inside my house, and I can even workout anytime that I want. GREAT IDEA those DVDs and videos for doing workouts!
