Is it Wednesday?


That's pretty much how I felt when my alarm went off this morning. When I finally peeled myself off my bed at 5:45am, I realized that today was Wednesday and not Tuesday (I was thrown off from the holiday weekend - not that I'm complaining), and thus cross-training day. I was in no mood to go on a 35-minute bike ride for cross-training, so I decided to do some pilates from a DVD.

Has anyone heard of Crazy Kristin McGee? This woman is a machine. I don't consider myself terrible at pilates, and I do a decent amount of yoga, but I always suffer through her workout every single time. It doesn't ever get easier. And not only does she get through the entire workout apparently without breaking a sweat, she grins as she does everything with you.

Needless to say, I look a bit different when I'm doing the workout.

My rippling abs should be here any day now.

But seriously. If you want a butt-kicking workout at home, you should try her DVDs. As long as you can stand watching someone be that happy while you are dying a little.

  1. Abdominal exercise machines are perfect for this and it is actually performed by alternating average-intensity pace with high-intensity bursts of 1-2 minutes, based on how fit you're.

  2. Thanks! I'll definitely try it out, I'm always unsure of what to do for cross training.
