Great advice! Keep pushing to be stronger.
Thanks so much for the visit and the twitter-chat! I’ve loved meeting you!
If it wasn’t for my collection of home workout videos, I couldn’t maintain consistency. But I have such a good variety of DVDs, that I can keep myself motivated and not get bored.
Which titles are your favs? Have you tried Zuzana and Freddy’s (of http://www.BodyrockTV.com) workouts? They’re short and completely free!
Jari Love, Cathe Friedrich, and Amy Bento are some of my favorites. For lighter days I like Kelly Coffey-Meyer or Chris Freyteg. I hadn’t heard of that website–thanks for passing it along. I’ll have to check it out.
Great vid Tamara. Overall I’m good on consistency. If I don’t make it to the gym, I run or dance etc but progression…mmm…I get smug about my progress and then feel like I can ‘stay there’ for months e.g.., A year ago I found it difficult to run 2km but can now easily run 5km and maybe even 7km but do I try and progress on that…nope! I stay in my comfort zone
Kirri, that’s great improvement in your running! Don’t get complacent; you can most certainly add another mile then another then… You’ll be running a 10K before you know it!
Oh gosh..10km? There’s so much less sweat involved in complacency
