Workout #127, 45 minute cardio/upper body, 243 calories
I usually enjoy the upper body workouts, and this was no exception.  I think the calorie count may be off since Maya did half of the exercises without weights!  I really wish they had a patch to fix that, although it is easy enough to know that I [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #126, 45 minute cardio/cardio, 347 calories
347 calories!  No wonder I was starting to drag towards the end of that long cardio session!  I saw frog leaps, which I’ve only seen once before, and again with too many one leg bridges on the yoga ball.  I wonder what it means when Maya says [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #125, 45 minute cardio / flexibility, 184 calories
Maya had a lot of back stretches today which was just what I needed.  It seemed like a lot of calories burned for a flex workout but I did work pretty hard.
I did a whole set of Y!F exercises this week.  I am proud of [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #124, 45 minute cardio / lower body, 245 calories
I was worried at first whether I would be worn out at the end of the cardio, but it was only 15 minutes long.  What was I thinking, bumping up the time on the lower body day?  Thankfully I didn’t get a lungefest, which [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #123, 30 minute cardio/core, 141 calories
A fun cardio session followed by two sets of squat lunges. It felt good but my shoulders are definitely a little sore from yesterday. Then the core session had way too many side planks and one-leg planks. I was about to tell Maya to [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #122, 30 minute cardio / upper body, 136 calories
I moved back up to 3-pound weights and it felt great, although Maya started with chest flys WITHOUT weights.  It was a great workout; we got to all the muscles of the arms.  I wish Maya would automatically put arm stretches in the end [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #121, 30 minute cardio / cardio, 201 calories
I did a double dose of cardio today, and it felt pretty good.  I probably burned more than 201 calories since Dot smacked into my legs from behind and got upset, so I carried her during ten minutes of the cardio exercise!  I got those [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #120, 30 minute cardio / flex, 118 calories
Last night I could feel the soreness from the core workout on Wednesday, and this morning I could feel the lower body workout from yesterday! I loosened up fairly quickly, though. A little too many eagle poses, especially since I need to watch [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #117, 30 minutes cardio / upper body, 158 calories
The workout was fun even though I didn’t feel like doing it.  Dot helped by climbing all over me during my bench presses, and she completely defeated my one-leg planks.  I skipped over the physical challenge for tomorrow so I am ready for another [...]

Yourself! Fitness Workout #115, 30 minute cardo/flex, 108 calories
I was starting to wonder if Dot was going to start exercising with me again instead of just critiquing my technique like she has done all week.  When I got to the core portion, she decided she was going to help.  It is hard doing plank twists [...]
