My Fitness Journey Part 2

It was the middle of winter when I did the step aerobics VHS and I loved doing it. I started doing it every day. I remember one day I wasn't thinking about how much of the video was left and when the instructor said "Good work, see you next time!" I was shocked! I had actually FINISHED the workout!! That was something I didn't even think I would be able to do. Over the course of a few months, I started going through every workout DVD and VHS in the house. I can't tell you if I lost any actual pounds, but what I can tell you is that I gained so much more.

I started going on amazon and looking up workout DVDs for reviews and just to get an idea of what was out there. The first workout DVD that I ever bought was Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred and subsequently her DVD ripped in 30. Those DVDs were great, (although I couldn't do either of them for the full 30 days because I found them a little too hard on the knees) and it became a part of my love of working out. I started renting DVDs from the library, asking family if they had any I could use. It was awesome! I now have a pretty nice DVD selection ranging from kickboxing to pilates. Another favourite of mine is the website Bodyrock.tv which I would definitely recommend checking out.

I'll be posting some of my favourite workouts, as well as suggestions for some of my all-time favourite DVDs. I'll also be posting some recipes and some of my favourite cookbooks. I really hope that I can help you in getting confident from working out.
