Wednesday's Workout:
-Denise Austin Blast Away the Lbs Indoor Walk
-Denise Austin Hit The Spot Pilates
*total w/o time 60 min + stretch

I am still keeping it low! Though I have been wearing my stylish new weighted belt from Anchor Bay. While its enjoyable, its hard for me to "relax" and back off my w/o's. Now, I have no problem oinking down a huge (corner) piece of cake, but I feel guilty when I let me w/o's slip. BUT I know I have to because my body is sore all over and needs a break.

Today's Review: Hit the Spot Pilates
Denise Austin, 2005 **** (4 stars)

Denise leads this workout with one or more backgrounders (depending on the segment) in various outdoor settings. I like the outdoor sets she uses. The dvd is 75 minutes long with 6 ten minute segments and one 15 minute segment. The dvd is fully programable so you can mix and match as well as "play all." You wont need any equipment for this workout.

There are three 10 minute core/ab segments that get increasinginly more difficult. There are also three 10 minute lower body segments-hips, thighs, and buttocks. Most all the segments include some standing and floor work. The 15 minute segment is a bonus routine that I *think* is new footage (will check tonight and report back).

I am no pilates pro so keep that in mind but I really enjoy this dvd because of its versatility and the nice outdoor setting. Denise isnt really annoying or overly chatty either (I dont think she said burn butter once). I like using segments of this dvd to add on to other w/o's or to string together. I would rate this an intermediate pilates w/o but I may not be the best judge :)
