So yeah, it's been a while, but here we are with just 90 days to go until the cruise, and Christine is talking trash, and I really need to get on the proverbial stick.
Now let's talk about yesterday, my experience with the Biggest Loser Wii, and my soreness today, shall we? Yesterday, I dusted off the Wii Balance Board and the controller, and signed up for the Biggest Loser 4 Week Fitness Program. Since I have already, pretty much mastered the Beginner cycle, I decided to take on the Intermediate Program. . . Now, why did they decide to make your first workout of the program a CHALLENGER, workout????? (I ask 'ya??). Well, me being me, I had to keep up, rocking the mountain climbers, the high knee jump rope, the high knee jump rope double time, not to mention the hard core jumping jacks and push-ups!!! Soooo, that brings me to today.Needless to say, I am as sore as I can be! I did manage to rock 30 minutes on the spin bike, but I am still in pain. Well, enough complaining, because tomorrow, I have another Biggest Loser Workout scheduled.Anyway, I do feel really good for getting my massive rear in gear these past couple of days, but get back to me on Tuesday, and we'll talk.- djfleeshWhat's the secret? Close your mouth and move your body.
I find that when I am lacking mootiv8tion, music is usually the thing that gets me out of the rut. I have a couple of suggestions for playlists that will help you if you're in that the-last-thing-that-i-want-to-do-is-work-out-today frame of mind:
Spin Mix (although it will work just as well for elliptical and treadmill workouts)
1. Kaskade - I Feel Like
2. KLF - 3am Eternal
3. Tracey Thorn - It's All True (Kris
Menace Remix)
4. Britney Spears (I know, no comments, please) - Break the Ice (Kaskade
Radio Edit)
5. David Guetta - The Sound of Letting Go
6. C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat
7. Kaskade - Its You Its Me (Marques Wyatt Mix)
This is a 35 minute mix, and will really get you movin!
My Favorite Mix Right Now:
1. Yazoo - Don't Go
2. Paul Oakenfold - Get Out of My Live Now
3. Artful Dodger & Craig David - Woman Trouble
4. Christina Aguilera - Beautiful (Peter Rauhofer Remix)
5. David Guetta - One Love
6. Everything but the Girl - Five Fathoms
7. Mary J. Blige - Just Fine
8. Tracey Thorn - Grand Canyon
9. Syntax - Destiny
This is a 48 minute mix that I usually tune in to on my spin bike!
Enjoy,

Howdy all:
Some time ago I developed a real romance with a piece of exercise equipment. I was visiting Tracey on Long Island, and she had this "spin bike thing" (I had only seen one in a fitness magazine). I gave it a try, and truly fell in L-O-V-E, so of course, I went home to Della-where, and hounded my husband until he let me get one, (see the picture to the right).
Fast forward about 4 months, and I have not gotten a proper work out in at least 4 weeks. Last night, Bill decided to do a half hour work out, and he jumps on the treadmill, while I try to find my "happy place" on the spin bike. About 4 minutes in, the music is pumping, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan on the tube, and my legs crying out for mercy and cursing the day I brought this thing home. I knew that if I stopped my workout, Bill would think I was a complete boob, so I kept on a-peddling. Fast forward about 15 minutes, and on the Zune comes the 10 minute Peter Rauhofer Remix of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful." I told myself, "if you can just finish this song, you will prove that you are not a boob, so keep at it!"
Long story short, 1) I finished the workout (30 minute burn, which was 10 minutes more than I thought I could do), 2) I felt really good about myself, and 3) I think I may have even impressed Bill. The upshot is that I will repeat my magnificence again tonight!
How's that for mootiv8ation?
