I work for my county government in a tiny office for school health services. This week, my school nurses are on Spring break, so I am all alone in here. Since my husband and I are flat broke, I rarely go out for lunch and just spend that time at my desk, eating my leftovers and playing games on my phone, lol!
This week however, I am trying something different.
So, for those of you who don't know her, Leslie Sansone does the "walk at home" videos. The premise is that if you keep time to the music, you can complete 1,2,3 or 5 miles depending on the video you choose.
They are a great low-impact workout and I have done them from time to time when I get a free one on our cables on demand service.
Well, Gaiam.com was having a good sale a while back and I got a 3 pack of her videos for $5.99. It included this little gem/video of doom (however you look at it!). I popped it in the dvd tray of my computer yesterday at lunch, locked the office door and got movin'.
Everything was going great, a little sheen of sweat, some heart pumping and then it happened. SQUATS. With Hand Weights.
Are you nuts!
I don't "Squat". I might not get back up.
Well, I did get back up, hallelujah! Rinse and repeat.
It was a good video. It was only 30 minutes, and I wasn't so red faced or sweaty that if someone had come in the office I would have been embarrassed. So that's good.
And then I woke up this morning. Oh My Word. My thighs are on fire!
I can feel them burning as I sit here typing this.
And you know what, I am happy about it! I forgot how rewarding a good work-out burn was.
I feel skinnier already!! I brought a different video from the 3 pack for today, without the strength training moves, I think the thighs need a rest at least until tomorrow.
