Fitness Challenge - Day 8 of 56

BEGINNING PILATES FOR WEIGHT LOSS:

I am staying right on track with exercising three days a week but am having trouble locating all my old exercise videos. I found this one I bought at Costco (I think), and it darned near killed me. I am in SUCH horrible shape and don't even have the muscles for this BEGINNER dvd. I was sweating my bottom off within 5 minutes and could only do 20 minutes before I finally had to switch it off. I was actually leaning against the footboard, trying to keep my balance while standing on one leg, stretching out the other leg, opposite hand, etc...

I added in another 10 minutes of walking in place/marching on the stairs to get my 30 minute workout.

I DID lose 4 pounds this week, so it's incentive enough for me to keep on keeping on.

Hehe! I'm glad to hear you're marching in place too! I marched in place while I folded laundry and it added about 2000 steps to my day! Keep up the good work. :)
