Favorite Workout Videos Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:22 AM PST January is almost over. Whew!  How are your resolutions going? I committed to tracking what I eat for at least 31 consecutive days in my food journal. I’ve also been doing some of my Favorite Workout Videos to help keep me moving when I don’t have time for a hike. It’s going well so far.  To backtrack a bit, the word I chose for 2021 is CARE. You can see it here in my Currently Workbook.  As in… The answer?  Working on it!  Last January I was 15 lbs. lighter than I am this January. See also: COVID-19. I stopped caring about moving. See also: Yoga pants and overalls can be very forgiving! Honestly, I just cared about staying alive, keeping money coming in with work, and keeping my family safe & fed while staying on top of my mental health.  My physical health went on the backburner and with my aging metabolism (see also: She’s in her 40s), life got a little too comfortable.  One of the first things to go when COVID hit was my gym membership. Of course, this all happened when I magically found myself in a good routine in the mornings! With managing Cooper at home with school and work, I didn’t have much energy to take of myself as I had before. I peppered in (weather permitting) long walks in our months at home.  Then I found myself in a rabbit hole of YOUTUBE and ended up really enjoying some of its offerings.   These are my Favorite Fitness Videos that I use for stretching, dancing, and a bit of yoga. I relied on them heavily since we’ve been sheltering-in-place here in California.  Videos for Stretching: When I have a short amount of time.    When I have more time to stretch. In bed stretching. I have a secret obsession with Bob & Brad. Their videos helped me through major back pain a few years ago.  Dancing favorites: SQUATATHON. Prepare for your thighs to burn.  One of my favorite Missy Elliot songs.  This one is short but GOOD.  Brings me back to my childhood- when I was in ballet.  This one on repeat. I tend to do a lot of these Fitness Marshall videos multiple times in a row to get my workout in for the day. I did this one with Cooper a few times.  I love the arm work in this one. I love me some Fergie.  I must have done this one 100 times. It’s one of my faves.    This song always makes me happy.  I love that they’re at the GGB!!  Speaking of dance, I’ve also REALLY enjoyed taking a virtual Zumba class with my friend Matt. Follow him for more details!              View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Matt Armendariz (@mattarmendariz) He has THE BEST energy. I highly recommend taking one of his classes he offers virtually every week! TRAMPOLINE:   This one is quick but effective! We have this trampoline in my family room so it’s always ready to use.  It’s exhausting but worth it. I need more trampoline videos!  YOGA: I don’t do a ton of yoga videos, but when I decided I am going to, I usually rely on Yoga with Adriene. To get started in the day. This one is good to unwind after a long day.   That’s it for now.  Let me know what you’re loving lately. I’m always looking to diversify my workouts!   The post Favorite Workout Videos appeared first on Shutterbean.
