Today I started exercising again. Today I did 31 minutes of Power Cardio (with Kendell Hogan hosting). It was a good cardio workout; I would recommend it.

My goals for the future:
5 days of 30 minutes of cardio
3 days of flexibility
2 days of strength

Anyways, I'm off to the lake now for some sun time!

My ribs are hurting right now. I don't know why, but they hurt in exactly the same place on each side. I'm guessing I leaned over a table and hurt myself (or something like that). Anyways, I'm trying to stay on track with my workouts. Today I wanted something slightly lower-impact and less cardio (even though I want the cardio!!) because my thighs and abs are still burning from the other day. So I chose to work with the New York City Ballet workout. I did exercise segments 1-11 which I estimate to be about a 30 minute workout. Then I did a 6 Pack AB Workout via my OnDemand. That was really low intensity, and a bit below my level of ability, but I still did it for 14 minutes. That's it.

Total workout today - 44 minutes

Yesterday I failed in my goal to workout every day so I could create a habit (21 days to create a habit!). But I got back into it today - albeit with a small workout. I feel bad too because I gave up (it was really hard and I'm sweating) but I did a bit so I feel okay. Next time I'll work harder. Anyways, today I worked out for 18 minutes to the Crunch ActionDiesel workout. The workout is only 24 minutes itself so I didn't skip too much, but I paused it twice. I also did 12 minutes of YogaWorks FitAbs. It was a pretty simple yoga workout but that's what I wanted. Tomorrow will be another 20 minutes of cardio (at least 20 minutes of cardio) and maybe some easy yoga.

Total Workout Today - 30 minutes

I was so inspired by my workout yesterday that I decided to workout again today. I used ExerciseTV on OnDemand again. That feature is really awesome! Today I did 22 minutes of Crunch Burlesque (it says it's cardio but it really isn't, lots of fun though), 7 minutes of Crunch Latin Rhythm (I didn't enjoy the moves as much as I thought I would, maybe I'll try another time), and 30 minutes of YogaWorks Slim Class (a combination of cardio, strength and flexiblity, but not the most intense). Overall I thought it was a good workout. Tomorrow I'm going to try to do cardio and maybe a bit of strength. My new goal is to work out for the next 19 days (since I worked out yesterday and today). That way I'll have worked out for 21 days in a row - I hear that's the first step to creating a habit. I'm hoping I can turn this into a habit.

Total workout today - 59 minutes

Today I discovered OnDemand's ExerciseTV section. So I worked out to two videos: 25 minutes of pilates and 14 minutes of yoga. As well, I took an hour bike ride (around 4 or 5 miles I think?). I feel pretty good about my working out today! And I highly recommend OnDemand to spice up the exercise life. I think I'll try another workout tomorrow!

So today's total is: 1 hour and 29 minutes

Once again, not much time...but I worked in 30 minutes of yoga today. I need to get some cardio in soon! I DID find a really cool feature of itunes...podcasts!! There are a LOT of free workout, yoga, etc podcasts. Also, hulu has a lot of short workout videos. If you want some variety these 20-30 minute workouts are really nice!

I didn't have much time today, but I managed 30 minutes of yoga / strength training via the Wii. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get some cardio in there!
