Beachbody had a great sale on Les Mills Combat with gloves so I snatched it for $30. I'm pretty excited to try it out, although I will probably not follow the program (just can't stick to Beachbody programs) but just do a workout here and there... plus it should be pretty useful when we're snowed in this Winter.
I need to get my free trainer appointment at the gym and ask for a good weight lifting routine with just dumbbells and body weight exercises. I'm still pretty much doing the exercises of Chalean Extreme for strength (using dumbbells) and I'm just SO BORED. I wish there was a way to make weight lifting exciting for me, but I put it right there with chores like doing dishes, that's how much I hate it. Except dishes can be done in 10 minutes and this needs 15-20 minutes if I don't want to half ass it (which I frankly seem to do half the time). Ugh. Last time he gave me some kind of circuit to do at the gym but frankly, I don't want to have to do it there when I have the equipment at home (or even worse, chasing equipment or having to wait to be able to do it).
I'm still alternating HIITs on the elliptical (I can do 30 minutes on a good day... it's KILLING me, in a good way I guess, but I really go all out during the high intensity phases) one day and some kind of cardio (3.5 fast walk, some stationary bike, or more elliptical) and weights the next day. Yesterday was my cardio/weights day and I felt like running though so I ran about 2 miles, then stopped to hopefully prevent soreness today... NOPE. I guess I just need to run more often so it doesn't happen every time. I'll have to find some time to do combat on those days too (just can't do anything on HIITs days, it's just too exhausting). And I should really do a PiYo workout here and there.
Still wish I could make away with strength altogether. But I guess it's what it takes.
