winter is when i struggle. i used to be a member of a gym, but i didn't really use it enough to get my money's worth. i would always end up working out at home instead of making the drive to the gym.
i decided when the cold weather really set in last year that i would make working out at home using dvds and online workouts a priority. it's worked really well so far and i haven't felt nearly as cabin-feverish as i thought i would. since we have an actual house now with plenty of room instead of an apartment, i don't really have an excuse not to work out at home.
here are a few of my favs:
- tracy anderson method dance cardio: this video is awesome, especially for people with a dance background. she teaches you several different sets of choreography, then you just dance! the music is really good too, and it's an insanely hard workout for how fun it is. (warning: not easy to do with a small dog around. i save this one for weekends now when i have michael around to entertain loki)
- 10 minute solutions: these videos are great for people who feel like they don't have enough time to work out. they separate workouts into 10-minute sessions which is really convenient. i first got into these videos because special k used to put examples of them in their cereal boxes!
these are my 3 favorites from the series:
(the whole series can be found at http://www.the10minutesolution.com/series/index.html)
- health/fitness websites: shape.com, prevention.com and self.com are all great resources to find step-by-step photo instructions for at-home workouts.
these 2 are in my current rotation and will leave you with some serious muscle aches if you do them correctly:
shape.com lower ab workout
prevention.com ballet boot camp
i hope this post gives you some winter workout inspiration! bikini season is not that far away!
