I am not even going to attempt to watch the calories this holiday season. And because of that, I have to exercise. As with many people I am extremely busy, especially during this part of the year. Mix that with a little laziness and tivo and you have the makings of a non-exercising woman. There was a time that i'd really gotten back into the gym, but I've slacked off recently.
I had a conversation about this with a friend of mine and she suggested Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. She said that it was only 20 minutes. So i'm thinking, 20 minutes, I can do that. Don't sleep on it people, it was a serious 20 minutes.
One of the things that I really like about it is that she has 2 people doing the routine in the background. One does the moves for more experienced people and the other performs alternate moves for couch potatoes like me.
I've tried a few of the other Biggest Loser DVD's and I've loved all of them. They offer progressive exercises so that you're not doing the same routine forever and you don't have to buy a new DVD to move up to the next level.
One thing that I don't like is the music. So I listened to the DVD the first few times, then I just started playing my own workout list. One of my most recent list are below. I usually put it on shuffle so that I don't get used to the sequence.

Blushing ladies, what's on your exercise playlist? I like to change mine up and would love suggestions.
Also, It's still Holiday Time. I had a friend send this to me the other day. I always felt that Alexander O'Neal took a few too many sips throughout the day, but man did he make great music. Here's a holiday classic from him. If you're reading this on email, you'll have to go to the site to check it out.
