Hi, everyone!
It's been awhile. To old friends: I've missed you and truly think about you all the time! To new friends: I can't wait to get to know you!
I still enjoy a good Zuzka workout once a week or so, but the bulk of my workouts these days have been more Pilates-inspired courtesy of Move with Nicole. Her workouts are free, and I love them! My core and upper body have never been stronger (and this is saying a lot when it comes to my arm muscles as historically they were difficult for me to build), and my lower body has maintained great strength. I find the workouts relaxing and challenging at the same time, and my body just feels overall GOOD. :)
Let me know if you check out any of her workouts!
I really enjoy these videos. They're not tough on the body or mind, because even though the abs are burning, it's from like 4 different moves, not one. She rarely does more than 8 reps so the time really flies for me. I love all strength moves done from the floor, so Pilates is right up my alley in that respect. The stretching and toning are gentle, easy on joints, yet effective.
Last night I did a 20minute one full body and it was perfect. I was TANKED after Halloween at school.
