Ouch but it feels so good!
I have a love/hate relationship with the following:
I asked for a foam roller for Christmas but didn’t get it. I had to take matters into my own hands. Truth is I doubt anyone in my family even knows they exist. I also asked for Bumpits. I went to Target this morning and actually had them in my cart. Then I realized I never fixed my hair and it would be a waste of $10. I’ll go stock up on Kombucha tomorrow because that is worth it in my book. Who am I kidding i’ll end up with the Bumpits because i’m a sucker like that.
.
This morning I woke up and didn’t feel like working out. I knew if I didn’t I would hate myself so I went ahead and did an old Firm video. The Maximum Cardio Burn. I haven’t used the Firm videos in 3 years and WOW it was a great workout! This afternoon I did a LONG shoulder workout and they are sure to be sore tomorrow. Mike is headed up north to get a ping pong table for one of his friends. That’s what happens when you are that guy who owns a truck. Since i’ll be bored i’ll do some incline walking or something to get more Christmas bloat out of my system.
.
My switch is now turned ON. The brownies and fudge I kept devouring Saturday were still around when I went to my gma’s yesterday. They even ordered pizza and I didn’t have any. I just keep thinking of my cruise and how good I want to look and feel then. I’m also not using the massage gift certificate Mike got for me until I hit 115. I’ll weigh Wednesday and let you know how far off I am 🙂

Have you ever used the Firm videos? Which is your favorite?

I need a foam roller for at home. Dang. It was the Firm Videos that really got me started in using weights. The 1st 5-8 years after college when I finally started working out, I was all about Taebo and only Taebo. Then – somehow I started using the Firm and got hooked. I liked them up until the Transfirmer days. The thing is- all the good kick butt instructors left and then their workouts got more and more lame and they all required new equipment- each time. And their website SUCKS big time, I haven’t checked it out in ages but I was left WANTING. LOL Then I discovered Cathe, and her workouts made the Firm seem like grade school. (p.s. I just ordere 9 new Cathe Shock Cardio DVDs….whoa!)
**I’ve been “preaching” this a lot lately- I think going back and doing some older workouts is good; if you focus on good form AND use heavy weights, you’ll get in a crazy workout. And the body won’t know what hit it.
You know I love me some Cathe…preach all you want!
I agree, the transfirmer was a joke. I actually took those dvd’s to the half price bookstore and got $5 for them LOL!
I LOVE the foam roller…but I also HATE it! It is a killer but it hurts so good! 🙂
The foam roller is where it’s at. An essential for recovery.
I used the Firm! Old ones with 80s outfits 🙂 Tough Tape 2 and Lower Body Split were in regular rotation for me for a while. I bet they’d still kick my butt!
I’ve never really got why that thing is needed, to tell you the truth..isn’t a carpet good enough? But I’m probably missing something here…
Best of luck on your weigh-in!
I’ve tried the pool noodles, styrofoam balls, and other things but nothing compares to the real thing 🙂 It’s like a painful massage ahhh…
Thanks for the luck! I think i’m going to need it!
I haven’t! But I wanted a foam roller for hip flexor exercises!!
ahh the foam roller. My personal heaven AND hell.
foam rollers are friggin AWESOME!!!
btw thanks for the comment on my blog!!
i will be posting pictures every month of my belly-i finally got a camera for xmas!!
I haz a foam roller. I love it too.
I have bumpits. I was a sucker and paid $20 for the deluxe set (before they were avail at walmart or target) and guess how many times I have used them since I bought them last March? 1 time. For my figure show…and I didn’t even do it, Jessica did. I do not do hair.
My switch is on 99% of the time now but a wandering chocolate chip escapes me from time to time. GO YOU!
