Productivity Finally
Work was cancelled for the weekend (really quiet weekend for dog walking apparently) and I can finally be productive (KNOCK ON WOOD)! It’s almost 2:00 PM and I’ve already been able to do quite a bit of housecleaning and homework. Little bit more to do, but I have the whole day ahead of me.
I also plan to do a full workout today (rather than just a quick one squeezed in between classes and clinicals and work). I’m hoping to go for a run and also to go through the choreography of Tracy Anderson Dance Cardio Workout. She is highly recommended by Madonna, Gwenyth Paltrow, Courtney Cox, Shakira, etc etc. Very much an A-list celebrity trainer. Anyway, I received it for Christmas and have recently started doing it. I have a background in dance and I love aerobics, so the reviews for this workout made it seem like it is for me. And after doing it a few times it definitely is for me, however the routines are speedy and high impact and actually pretty difficult choreography because she runs through them so fast (rewind is your best friend in this case). The reviews I’ve heard pretty much agree with me. They seem difficult to the person who is HIGHLY trained in classical dance because I guess she misuses some terminology, but great for people who like aerobics and pick up on it quickly. I’m enjoying the routines (and there are 8 of them, so I’m definitely not bored), but I can’t wait until I feel I have them down and can really run through the dances to the full speed and get the full workout. Tracy claims that if you do the workout 5-6x a week (don’t quite have time for that right now, but I’m getting it in a couple times a week) she’ll get me back to my teeny tiny dancer body I miss so much. Her workout is geared toward women who want to workout, but don’t want to build bulk, just tone up. I’m a fan–I’ll let you know my results overtime. I’m always looking for new workout dvds (especially fun aerobics/dance based), so let me know if you have any suggestions or if the Tracy Anderson workout did or didn’t work for you–I’d be curious to hear from someone who really gave it a try and what their results were (it’s fun to hear from celebrities on the DVD, but not really comparable to my day-to-day life and how the workout fits in. Tracy Anderson is also not personally there training me like she did with them).
~love always~
