All Over the House workout

I finally felt better this morning than I have in a long time as far as energy.
First I started moving when checking my last two blog uploads on previous posts (Denise Standing Pilates and Jenny March) which worked well on my den dinosaur pc even in full screen so I wound up pushing the chair back and doing both with the speakers blasting.  Was even able to do the March of the Wooden Soldiers two rooms away on the bungee.  I am labeling some workouts uploaded to just my blog and not on youtube as *private video*.  This way I do not have to worry about any being *blocked in Germany* like my favorite music selections usually are.  Twice videos which were probably intended to be blocked in Germany were blocked in the US instead.  It was probably just a glitch since I disputed and had both unblocked in the US but rather avoid that hassle.  I do not want to push my luck too far with youtube's generous policies.  The only negative is by choosing to upload directly to this blog, I have to keep the file much smaller.

Then I switched to the living room bungee and did a couple of songs from Body Gospel with music louder while bouncing and doing most of Donna's moves. I may capture some of one song in particular to share it

If you didn't get this Body Gospel set yet and missed out on the Beachbody Black Friday discount, I would be patient for a similar discount down the road. I am Jewish and could easily skip over the prayer segments.

Then I switched to the basement and did some of Anna's routine on The Biggest Loser Calorie Knockout with music only and using homemade XCOs.  Sorry but I cannot stand Anna's voice but the music is pretty good so works for me :)

Finished while still in the basement with the first 15 minutes or so of Nia Awareness of Joints which I had burned to dvdr. The best part of that choice was the video is sooo much better when I play it on my cheap Craig dvd player which allows me to zoom times 4.  It made an online class look like a real dvd production.  I am going to try to finish all workouts with a zoomed Nia class segment or even do some Nia sparks.  It may also have worked well on my HDTV through youtube since I can zoom my tv but probably will not bother to upload all of the Nias to youtube.

ETA: Nia Awareness of Joints was burned to a dvdr which also has many wonderful warmups/cooldowns on it that I had collected so I may upload some of them to youtube or the blog eventually.  It can be found on the Nia blog or at Nia Class Video - Awareness of Joints | Nia | A sensory-based movement practice that leads to health, wellness and fitness

Jingo

My OOP Jingo vhs dated 1997 has been one of my favorite routines but I have hesitated to do it fearing the vhs could self-destruct in a vcr at anytime.  So I decided to capture it and upload it to youtube to share it with others since Nia no longer sells it in their store.  My man Carlos leads it and some segments are so much fun.  I was already hooked on Nia with the original workout but Jingco made me an eternal fan.

This morning I just did alittle bouncing to Michelle LeMay's Gospel Aerobics before my annual doctor's visit.  Did not get any indication of what may be causing my bouts of hypoglycemia but maybe something will turn up in the blood test results.  Was just told to eat when feeling that way.  Of course, the doctor is old school and wants me to go for a bunch of unnecessary tests like a bone density and paps smear.  I did accept the flu vaccine for the first time because having had the flu a couple of times in my lifetime, do not want to suffer through it again.

I do not like how I felt all morning having skipped even the few sips of coffee I had been having each morning as well as any food since last night's dinner.  At least I didn't have a caffeine withdrawal headache.  Now that I have eaten and had my sips of coffee, am feeling much better and may do a real workout later.  Maybe even Jingo or parts of Jingo :)


I made myself alittle gift to keep on my laptop to do in the bedroom.
It is a Standing Pilates routine led by Denise Austin found on youtube but I played some of my favorite songs in the background.

Body Gospel & Another Chair Routine

I decided to revisit some Body Gospel and wound up doing the whole Power and Praise band routine plus the warmup of the other routine Gospel Glory on the dvd.  Worked up a nice sweat and will do more of the second routine on the bungee later.  I have been worried that I have been losing stamina lately but this routine felt easier than I had remembered.

Tomorrow is my annual physical and I am hoping that my bouts of fatigue or hypoglycemia, especially before lunch do not have an underlying serious medical condition brewing.  I have cutback on my morning coffee substantially to avoid peaks and then plunging levels of energy too.
