Day 69 - Pump It Up

I tried to do some cardio, but the video got to me. I thought it would be inspiring to do a workout video led by a really fit instructor, but the farther I got into the video, the more I realized that none of the people performing probably ever really had to exercise. They didn't have muscle tone, and while the moves and soundtrack were good, their execution of the moves was sometimes flawed. Also, the repeats of the moves were really long and a bit hard to remember the order of.

I might go back to do the tums and buns section but I don't think I'll do the dance again. Though, I don't know, maybe I will.

If you like exercising with really cheery instructors and girls in their underwear, maybe you'll have more luck getting through this video. It did not hold up to my old standby, Cardio Dance Blast, by Crunch.

I made it through 25 minutes dancing, and 40 minutes watching before I gave up. It's pure cardio. I want more muscle tone, and you can definitely do cardio that also builds muscle tone. They do a little of that here, but I think something else would meet my exercise needs better.

1800 calorie day. YAY!

Also, I wore my favorite stretchy leggings to exercise today. They remind me of fruit stripe gum.
