I will try to do a few extra posts this week to make up for the weeks I missed. I was stuck nothing changing no weight gain no weight loss so I have been experimenting. I'll start with the workouts.
Biggest Loser Workout
I borrowed this from the library. Thought it looked good as all the workouts were 10 minutes. Its incredibly boring the moves are hard but standard gym moves. Its not motivating for me to watch people that are less fit than I am. It took me a few days after doing workout one to get motivated again to try another one. I tried 5 which was the last one it was much better than workout one. I cannot motivate myself to try this again.
I think this dvd is more geared towards people that are not moderately active but its not for me. The trainer does give some nutritional and motivation advice. I did agree with the nutrition aspect but the motivation part for me felt like a bad after school special. What this dvd did do is make me realize the quality of beach body dvd's.
Shaun T Hip Hop Abs
Although I have been doing 5 minute abs and some of the rockin body workouts regularly. I rediscovered some of the harder workouts that required weights and before I thought were too hard. I can get through them now Shaun T is very motivating and these are pretty intense workouts. Unfortuantely I don't think I will motivate myself to do them daily as they are 30min-45min workouts. I will use these for those days when I want something more challenging.
10 minute trainer
I have wanted this for a while. I like the idea of 10 minute workouts that can be combined to create longer workouts. I find that sometimes my intension is to only do 10 minutes of a 30 minute workout but I can't stop. I never look at a 30 min-1hr workout and think I want to do that everyday.. I was waiting for a sale and got one with beach body's anniversary sale.
Although Shaun T's workouts are beach body i have never purchased from beach body directly. This time I did and got some bonus shakeology samples, the cardio belt, an online workout while waiting for shipping, 30 day trial membership for team beach body.
I tried the online abs workout it was intense. Shipping only took a week and I have had the package for 2 days. I can only get through 2 of the 10 minute workouts at a time. These are intense workouts I am pretty sure if I stick to them I will see results. Reading the reviews most people are seeing results within 2 weeks. I am attempting to do the 30 day plan its laid out so you can do 1 10 minute workout, 2 10 minute workouts for faster results, or 3 10 minute workers per day for the most effective results. I will switch the cardio workouts to Shaun T videos as I prefer them for cardio. 10 minute trainor is effective for resistance.
Gym
Although I still go 2 times a week. I find the gym is like a warm up now. I usually come home and pop in one of the dvd's after. January is not very motivating at the gym its full of people you know won't be there in February.
