Good Day

[abka]

I finally got sleep last night (almost 13 hours) so although my day started very late it's been productive. I made stuffed peppers and hamburgers (had left over ground beef) and then excercised for the first time in a while. Now that my landlady's gone I can do my tapes again (although today I did the DVD). Now I'm at the library starting research on my semiotics paper. Hopefully the good mood will last through finals.

Re: Exercise tapes

I have a random variety that I've acquired over the years, mostly as gifts or ones that my sister got tired of. I have a couple of step tapes, Tae Boe ones, a Denise Austin kickboxing one (she's annoying in a horrible yet funny way ie "if you don't squeeze that butt no one else will"), a dance one that sucks, most recently I've been using this DVD set that Denis bought a while ago called Power 90 (ie reshape your body in 90 days) they have 2 levels of aerobic and a strength-training workouts that are fairly good. The instructor is annoying (but most tape instructors are) but the workouts have a little bit of everything.
If you have any good tapes, I'd love suggestions. I don't have any straight aerobics. Over the years I've acquired a decent (if yet also somewhat random) amount of inexpensive at-home equipment, adjustable free-weights, an exercise ball, an adjustable step, a yoga mat (I have no yoga tapes, but good for floor exercises), a heart-rate monitor, and most recently my aunt gave me an (unsolicited) mini-trampoline. I have no idea what to do with the trampoline, we haven't even assembled it. Any trampoline suggestions would also be a plus.

I don't have any aerobics tapes, but i've found that actually 8min abs & 8 min buns are really actually very good. They're pretty fucking hardcore. and the next day i usually feel sore in that really good "I kicked my own ass last night" sort of way.
