Auditions!
Posted in dvd review, exercise, simple ideas on May 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I used to obsess over what, if any, workout DVDs I should buy. I hated the thought of buying a bad DVD. And then, I realized that every town in the U.S. has a handy way to try out new workouts: the public library.
I’ve tried yoga DVDs, Self DVDs, etc. Some have [...]
No wonder I like it so much!

I have a favorite drink, one that I fall back on whenever I’m out. I love amaretto sours. I find them tart and sweet and refreshing, and there’s nothing better to have as a cocktail. I usually indulge when I’ve had a really hard day (like today) or when someone else is picking [...]
Spicing things up with circuits

Sometimes, I get bored with the same old, same old, so I’ll start throwing strength and cardio workouts together in strange combinations. When I belonged to a real gym, I would do cardio circuits, too.
If you subscribe to Self or Fitness, they’ll occasionally suggest doing one or two minute bursts of cardio in [...]

A few summers ago, I dearly wanted a pair of retro-looking PE shorts from Athleta. Athleta isn’t carrying them anymore, but I did find these from Hind. I’ve decided that they will be my reward once I’ve hit 143 pounds again. They’re a bit of an incentive in themselves–any woman in her right [...]
What was old is new again

Dealing with an injury is no fun. Trying to crosstrain on a limited budget and a broken bike is also no fun. Finding your old TaeBo tapes in the closet and deciding to mix it up a little? Kinda fun. Fun that hurts a bit the next day.
I used to do TaeBo with [...]
Habits

I find that a lot of people think, “I’ll lose the weight, and then I can do…” They rarely acknowledge the fact that once you lose the weight, you have to keep it off. That means keeping up with a healthy diet and exercise. This is the main reason that “diets” like [...]
Regression and progress

I’m ashamed to say that I hit a bit of a snag recently. I hurt my feet–damn you, plantar fasciitis–and found myself snacking on chocolate chips when I couldn’t find anything else to assuage my chocolate cravings. Sigh. I took some time off the cardio but kept on doing some yoga and Self [...]
