Today was the first day of the second level of Slim In 6 - Ramp It Up. And let me tell you, it does! Even though I'd previewed the video, I was not prepared for the actual workout. At one point I literally had to stop the video, sit down & put my head between my knees because I was so lightheaded and breathing so heavily. A number of times during the workout, where I was working both my upper and lower body at a cardio pace, I had to lower my hands to my hips in order to keep up. The entire video is 55 minutes long, it begins with a warm up, works through plie's, squats, lunges and standing crunches all the while working the waist. Then onto the mat for leg work (I thought my legs were on fire) and Abs. Finishing with stretching and yoga moves. Many of the moves throughout are the same as on the Start It Up video, but they've been expanded upon and additional moves have been added in.
I am anxious to work out again tomorrow to see if I can improve on today. I don't think I can get any worse. And speaking of today, I had an excellent WW day. At breakfast, I'm still loving my strawberry/blueberry, FF yogurt & uncooked oatmeal mixture. I attended a Memorial Day Party at which I knew there would be nothing good for me to eat, so I brought my own food -- grilled chicken & potato salad. Over the weekend, I grilled six chicken breasts and I've been using them in salads. Having them pre-grilled is making it very easy to stay on track.
Oh, by the way, I'm up to 2 sets of 12 push-ups each. Last week 10, this week 24. I'll be knocking these babies out in no time!
