FIRMIES!
No post yesterday because I'm REALLY busy at work & in the evening, it was all about youngest DS's 10th BD. But I did Cardio Sculpt Blaster yesterday & today. I'm getting sick of posting (& therefore, I'm sure you're sick of reading) that my performance is "not all that great" for this tape & this AM I went back to the tape to try & work on some of my weak spots, i.e. my footwork around the "heel-rock" segment. I'd love to say that I really improved this AM, but alas, I don't lie to my FIRM buddies. My footwork is still barely adequate, although the rest of the tape is getting better. I really am questioning myself on whether this workout is for me, but there are sooo many reasons not to quit it yet. First, I HATE quitting, Second, I value my FIRM buddies' opinions & you give this workout very favorable reviews, Third, I really do like having a 30 min. challenging workout for weekday mornings. Fourth, I think I'm seeing some new results from the combo of this tape & CA&WT.
No CSB tomorrow, it's Friday & I'll probably join DH for WATP.
s&k'smom,
I wanted to respond to your pilates question. I didn't know alot about pilates, I tried it by buying a tape w/ straps (I don't know what system, but it's the tape sold at Whole Foods). I didn't like it at all. Then I spoke w/ "exercise-friends" at work & they said they never really felt comfortable w/ pilates until they took a few lessons w/ a trained instructor. They felt that you had to get your form down & having an instructor is the best way to start. We even tried to get a lunch time pilates group w/ instructor going at work. Our schedules couldn't be coordinated. I was interested in pilates as an easy way to exercise when you travel -the equipment is so much more portable than sets of hand weights. Good luck & keep us "posted"(LOL) about your pilates experience.
Sounds like you guys are doing well. I've gone on too long to give individual shouts, but I can't sign off without a WOW to Melanie...30 tapes means you have more variety of FIRM tapes than overstock.com.
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG
