Hello! As per requested, I'm putting on here the names of some of the workout DVD's that I like. I like the 10 Minute Solution series. The instructors that I'm familiar with and like are Cindy Whitmarsh (she's my favorite), Jennifer Gilardi (spelling?), Keli Roberts and Suzanne Bowen. I have Target Toning, Kickbox Bootcamp, Blast off the Belly Fat, and I just bought myself two more, Dance off fat, and 5 day fit mix. They both looked interesting to me. The one I sent to Mom I haven't done and I'm not familiar with the instructor so let me know how it goes.
In answer to the weights question. I usually do 3 sets of 10 reps. Sometimes 4 sets of 10. Or 2 sets of 15. It depends on what body part and how much weight. So for arms for example, I lift my arms straight up in front of me ten times, then straight out sideways ten times, then bicep curl ten times, then triceps ten times then put my arms in a square(like you're raising your arm to the square :) on both sides) move in front of me then back ten times. That's one set. If you get to rep number 7 and it's fairly difficult then you're doing the right amount of weight. If you get to number 3 and it's fairly difficult, it's to heavy and you'll hurt yourself, do a smaller amount. If you've gone through one set and it's been a piece of cake, you should probably bump up the weight. And stretch. Oh, and along with weights make sure you're eating enough protein to help your muscles not be so sore, on weight days I have a protein shake along with breakfast.
Good luck team!
Great information Jan. You're Awesome! Thanks for sharing...
