I am going to be sometimes posting links to books, recipes or sometimes workout DVDs I think are worth a second look. This first one, Kathy Ireland: Total Fitness Workout is almost funny. She made it shortly after she gave birth, and she is having trouble keeping up with the workout herself. Actually, the workout itself wasn't that hard - it is a good beginner type DVD.

Getting Cardio Creative
Yesterday was a challenge to my commitment. I am happy to say I pulled through with flying colors. The problem came when I was called in to substitute for half a day at my wife's school. That threw my cardio plan out the window, because my afternoon was pretty busy, and I didn't want to lose the cardio time. What to do?
The answer hit me as I ended up having to deal with a delay that afternoon. I was at a mall when I got a call that the person i was going to meet was delayed. I decided to start walking. I headed on past the shops of one side, then down the other, then up the stairway to the second floor. Back and forth and up and down, and this was a fairly good sized mall. It wasn't completely smooth sailing, since it was after 4pm on a Friday and the mall was starting to get crowded. Plus I wasn't really dressed for anything too intense. But I still managed 45 minutes of some calorie burn and I was happy when it was done.
Better yet, I was going through some old DVDs in our collection and found a couple of old aerobic/workout DVDs. I popped in a 30-minute low-intensity, low-impact Kathy Ireland tape and had a great change of pace.
In the end, I didn't get in the cardio I wanted, but I ended doing it more and better by keeping my options open. better yet, I've discovered some new resources I can use to keep my exercise/cardio work varied and fresh. It was a very good day.
