Killer Spooning Strikes Again August 22, 2007

I have once again fallen victim to the killer spooning.  I was totally and completely awake to go to the gym at 5:30am, but the snuggle monster changed that idea rather quickly.  After Jeff (a.k.a. Snuggle Monster) went to work, I did get up and do the full 55 minute “Body Sculpt” routine from The Firm. It is the only infomercial gadget I have every bought. (I mean really, would you ever buy something called the “Fanny Lifter”?) Fanny Lifter But, I was pregnant, on bedrest, emotional, lonely, and felt the need to take control of something. I had a phone, QVC, and the offer of free shipping on my side. The rest is history.  BUT, it has got to the the best workout video I have ever done. It’s cheesy, yes, but even Jeff uses it.  I always get a really nice burn and I love how they incorporate free weights with squats.  I will probably be sore tomorrow.

I’m pretty sure the calories reported are wrong. I was using the Garmin again today to report heartrate.

Time to go make my coffee…  :-D

I used the workout plan documented by my trainer last Februrary.  I started with intervals on the Stairmaster: 1 minute high intensity, 2 minutes medium intensity for 20 minutes. I worked both upper body and lower body large muscle groups. Me thinks I will be sore tomorrow… Calories reported are ala Garmin.
