I found I was able to follow the whole of level 1 without any adjustment except the second lot of skipping in circuit 1, and a slightly-less-adjusted position in the sit ups.
Today I also found when I was carrying my 2st daughter she felt light as a feather - hopefully this means something is improving somewhere?
The disaster? Well at the end of circuit 1 I heard my husband's key in the front door. Husband and children had been banished from the house this afternoon while I exercised, but just 8 minutes in, my eldest had fallen and cut her hands. Cue abandonment of the DVD while I helped him to calm her and soothe her cuts, before resuming the DVD when she was settled with Daddy and a story upstairs.
Do you like to exercise with others around you? I'm still way too self-conscious, plus my 3yo would be annoyingly distracting...
"Mummy, why are you doing that?"
"Mummy, watch me, I can do a jump [falls over]
"Mummy, why does your belly jump up and down when you run?"
Sob.
That does mean that if I'm to undertake this DVD 6 times a week (Tuesdays having already been declared impossible) I'm going to need the co-operation of my lovely husband. Thanks darling!
In other news:
Today I exercised in the afternoon, when it fit in best with the family plans. previously I've exercised in the morning. Looking on the net I have found articles that say first thing is best, others that say the afternoon and evening matches your muscular peak. What works for you? Comments welcome below!
