On Demand Exercise

So I needs the workout and I'm stuck at home without my car.  It's too freaking cold outside to work out there.

We have comcast ondemand and they have some workout videos there.  Have any of you ever done these?  Can you get a good workout in?

Oh and Hai!

Go back to sleep Andy!

Yay its my Kelly!!!!!!

Chad had to work this morning so I'm up.  Boo.

Same here.  But instead of being productive with you, I'm sitting on my ass having coffee.

andy71781

Well I"m currently knotting, bumping, watching Grey's Anatomy and drinking coffee.    So if that qualifies as productive then I like it.

KJB, have you noticed it says Chicago Suburbs next to your name? That's kind of weird. 

kellyjellybelly

I did notice that.  Since it's actually true, I think TK is stalking me.  But it's strange that it just changed to that on it's own.

andy71781

Oh weird!  It just now changed me from Chicago to Minneapolis.  This will make it much harder for AEs!

Andy & KJB! Hey girls!

Andy I do not do them, but I have a friend who does and loves them. I don't know which ones she does.

mkrupar

Oh hey mine actully says Virginia. Sometimes it says DC Area.

When mine changes to my city, I'm out of here.

Thank you to MK who ACTUALLY answered my question.  I might check it out after I finish watching grey's

kellyjellybelly

I was very helpful Andykins.

mkrupar

KJB did tell you to go back to sleep. I guess that could be considered helpful. Offering an alternative to working out. :-)

andy71781

I guess that's true.  So far I'm finding Grey's to be more exciting to watch than the exercise tv.

Ok so if I do this 30 day shred thing it says I need weights.  What should I use if I don't have any dumbbells?

kellyjellybelly

water bottles?  soup cans?  anything you can hold and not drop that has some weight to it.  

or you can just skip the weights.

andy71781

I might just skip them for this first time.

I used to back when it was Exercise TV, they had Jillian Michaels and a bunch of other trainers on there with awesome workouts.  After the New Year they changed it and I don't like it as much... the workouts are shorter, etc.  but it's still good!  I just get used to certain trainers so it's hard to switch but I would definitely check it out.  It's also helpful if you have some light weights at home because quite a few incorporate those.

I've done a few of them. When I was recovering from a really bad sprained ankle, I did one of the walking ones. I thought it was going to be really stupid, but it lasted an hour, got my heart rate up, and didn't make me want to chop off my leg.

I also tried a few of the dancing ones, since I prefer to look like a fool in the privacy of my own home.
