Hello all you exercisers!
I tend to switch up my routine every so often so I don't get bored by doing the same thing. In the past I've done:
Denise Austin's shows on Lifetime
Step aerobics classes
Walking outside
Elliptical paired with the resistance machines at the gym
The Firm cardio series
Tae Bo DVDs
Running
Yoga
Currently, I'm running five or six miles twice a week and taking an hour and a half hatha yoga class once a week. I also walk about four miles a day and most weeks I throw another three mile run in there in between my two long run days. I usually swim on Sundays also.
I've been interested in trying some Pilates, though, and was wondering if any of you have good recommendations for DVDs. There are no classes in my area. I had picked up Pilates Conditioning for Weight Loss Program (a Gaiam video with Suzanne Deason) and just tried it out this past weekend. There are three levels and I did the easiest one on Sunday and the medium one today and didn't really "feel" much. Not that I was expecting to be too sore to get out of bed, but I was expecting more work in the abs. I really don't know good from bad in the Pilates world, so I was hoping someone would clue me in.
Thanks a lot!
Kara
