What is your favorite workout?

Mine used to be Tae Bo and I thought it was impossible! I just did one of my old Tae Bo cardio tapes, I had to kick a few of the exercises up a notch to keep my heart rate at 75%. It felt good. Until I kicked up some punches by adding a squat without remembering that his next move was a 45 second static squat!!! Ouch! But, the lesson of the day is DO NOT GET INTO A WORK OUT RUT!! I did that tape forever a few years ago and got complacent with it. I've only be a month back to working out after a long hiatus, and it's too easy now. So, even if you are working out in a class or to a tape with your friends, make sure you are working to your level!! If you are going to put in the time and the sweat make sure your heart is working to burn the most calories.

I though putting my food journal in yesterday would mean I was done eating....No such luck. I went for a small bowl of ice cream (Which is still a full serving, since they make a serving size just 1/2 cup) and watched Oprah's Oscar special...how cute is Halle berry?? It's ok, I make up with it today with Tae Bo Cardio and a 10 oclock Yoga class with a friend. I'm taking the morning off for girlfriend time, then back to work this afternoon. and, shlepping a rack or 2 to Bleu Martini for their weekly Thursday shopping night!!

What is your favorite work out? What is your most effective? (for some of us it's the same) And, how many hours a week do you work out? (that was an awakening question for me, since many of my workouts are 45 min.)
