I love my UbiSoft/Wii Your Shape game. BUT, sometimes I just need to change it up. Exercise should never get boring or you won't continue to do it anymore. I started doing weights and running on the treadmill last August. Then I moved onto Your Shape and Just Dance. Then, my mother-in-law mentioned going to our local cable's "Free Spot" to view Exercise TV's free workout videos. (We have Insight cable here and we have "On Demand, Free Spot" that gives you many free movies and more to watch). I was intrigued.
I was searching for something to alternate with Your Shape. I tried the Zumba DVDS's, which were fun, but since they don't use current music, it gets kind of boring after a while. I then tried Exercise TV's Belly Dancing, which was a lot of fun. I tried Jillian Michaels' Yoga, Pilates, and Core Workouts but they just weren't for me. I had a hard time connecting to her and her routines.
Then I tried Jackie Warner. SHE. IS. THE. BEST.
I tried one of her core workout routines and it kicked my butt! She does one minute intervals of a series of three exercises, then does a power burn of all three at the end of the segment. She started with the legs, then went to arms, then finished with abs. I truly loved her routine because each segment was fast and I didn't fatigue my muscles due to her changing up each muscle group so quickly. She was motivating and her whole philosophy on exercise is completely realistic.
The routine is getting easier the more I do it. I am considering finding some of her DVD's to try out too. Having a DVD will be beneficial to take on vacation this summer to keep in shape. Yeah, yeah, who wants to workout while on vacation.......I do! Jackie has made it so fun that it's addicting!
Exercise people! And when winter rolls around.......don't stop!
