Verizon Free Weekend

Today starts a Verizon free preview weekend of most of their premium channels including Gaiam TV.  Go to channel 900 then the free marathon folder.  Good time to catch up on TV series and movies.

This morning I did Gregg Cooke's URX workout without the band and almost immediately rejected it because it started with planks????  However, at the 5 minute mark, he started doing cardio on the rebounder. I liked his moves enough to repeat the combinations he did.  Then I did the rest of Nia's Awareness of the Upper Arm Bone, some BBL High and Tight, and finished with Jill Miller's Knee Prehab and Rehab because I twisted my right knee yesterday, running around like a crazy person shutting windows during a down pour.

When I woke up, I doubted I could workout this morning but tried the *Stop Pain Cold* roll-on which was a drugstore freebie and it worked!!  Arnica gel couldn't numb the pain but this menthol product did.  Hoping the pain doesn't return.  The stuff is supposed to speed healing besides numbing the pain.

URX Rant continues LOL

I did some of a Gregg Sims URX routine this morning which was a total joke.  He hardly used the rebounder after the warmup, doing some stuff without even a single body part on the rebounder like Plies, Biceps curls and shoulder presses.  The moves he did do using the rebounder made it clear that anyone with any sort of a personal training certification does not automatically know how to use a rebounder.  I liked his previous dvd routines where he tweaked resistance moves to make them feel different.  He lost all of his creativity trying to use a rebounder.
The music was somewhat better than yesterday's Gay Gasper but Gay at least bounced!

Finished with more of Nia's Awareness of the Upper Arm Bone which had better moves on the bungee than Gregg's??  Go figure.

Gay and Nia

This morning I did some of Gay Gasper's UR Xtreme workout.  The music was Xtremely bland.  Some of the combos were a bit interesting so I may add MUsic to them. Actually, I liked it more while sitting on the stability ball.  Do not understand why they do so many moves off the rebounder in this series.  My legs are short and if I lunge on and off without smacking the frame, I would definitely injure my knees.

Up to now, I had only tried the Gregg Cooke dvd using bands which I had received in a trade quite awhile ago and never revisited though I liked some of it.  Upon previews of this series, I thought the instructors really knew nothing about rebounding so skipped trying them.  Since I found them online for free, I may try them but very carefully.  Maybe preview the first set sitting on the ball and doing the repeat sets on the bungee if it looks safe.
Here's my previous URX Rant LOL
Keep MUving *Just Right*: URX Rant

Next I did some of the new Nia Awareness of the Upper Arm Bone.
Found the first 27 minutes rather boring as far as music and moves but it did pick up at the 27 minute mark so will try the rest another day.

Both of these workouts reminded me that MUsic is what makes me MUve.
