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!
we have wiifit and the active trainer, plus davina's workout.. I don't use any of them at all because i need to do it when no one else is around - so I understand where you are coming from.
