I think theVCR part of my dvd/vcr combo died yesterday-wahhhhh! I did eventually upgrade MOST of my VHS to dvd-thank you swapadvd.com and bootleg Asian dvds available on ebay... But I still have a few that are unavailable on dvd and a few that are just too expensive to upgrade. And sometimes its just easier to do a 5 min add on VHS instead of changing dvds and waiting through the FBI warnings. So I have to decide what I want to do: replace it (it will surely break again) or replace my VHS???? Decisions decisions....
I did get in a lunchtime walk.

*total w/o time 60 min + stretch
Today's Tip:
Someone linked this article on facebook so-"yoink' (that is my sound effect for stealing): The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating. I AM eating many of these!
No 1: Beets (see my recipe for roasted beets here)
Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.
Review: Firm Body Sculpt
This w/o is from the first Firm infomercial set and runs just over 50 min's. It introduced the plastic Fanny Lifter and this workout uses it a lot. Jen is an excellent lead-her cueing is SPOT on and she has a nice demeaner. There are 4 background exercisers and Libby provides the beginner modifications (uses no weights and the short step).
This dvd provides an excellent workout and goes slow enough to allow you to really heavy up on your poundage. She thouroughly hits every muscle group IMO. The reason why I its not a fav of mine is because the upper body and the lower body are seperate so it really does fatigue the muscles. This is a good thing but I just enjoy myself more when the moves are combined and mixed up. It is a nice addition to my collection because its different from many FIrms and that is always good for muscle confusion. It is very similar to Jen's Cardio Split-just less cardio.
After a nice warmup you do your lower body work which includes squats, lunges, dips, leg press and side lunges all with tempo variations. After a thourough lower body workout there is a brief lower body cooldown/ upper body warmup (so you can use this w/o divided up).
Then you move right into your UB work which includes: pushups, bicep curls, clean and press, front & side shoulder raises, lat rows, overhead press, and then a bit of lying chest work at the end (bench press and pec fly) and then move into your final cooldown/ stretch. There is no ab work.
Today's LOL: teehee
