Exercise TV

I successfully exercised last night, and I didn’t even need to leave my apartment! (Thanks for those little pushes, by the way!) Actually, I did leave my apartment to workout in our building’s gym, but it was packed! (Well, I considered “packed” more than 5 people!) I wasn’t in the mood to wait for a treadmill or elliptical… I just wanted to get my workout started, so I could check it off my list. I own various pieces of exercise equipment (dumbbells, Bosu, resistance bands), so I decided to exercise in my apartment.

I’ve used Comcast’s Exercise TV on demand workouts in the past, but usually they’re not that challenging for me. Last night, however, I discovered a quickie 20-minute bootcamp workout that was tough! It was called “Cardio Mix” from the Biggest Loser. (You can find it under ‘Popular’). Description: Rev up your fat-burning engine with Bob’s bootcamp workout that challenges every major muscle for a total-body slim down. It was much harder than I expected it to be! I was dripping with sweat by the end!

I followed-up the Cardio Mix workout with 10 minutes of core work, and 20 minutes of Hatha Yoga from yogadownload.com. It was a pretty good workout, especially since I seriously considered skipping it!

My morning bowl of oats was a wonderful blend of banana, raisins, oat milk, ground flaxseed meal, and Barney Butter.

In the mix:

I’m also brewing some hot coffee to go. I’m trying out a new flavor this morning: New England Coffee’s EyeOpener Blend. Sounds like it will perk me right up!
