I've moved away from biking and swimming, as I'm in a new position at work and don't have the time to schlep to the pool before work or ride outside during daylight hours. I'm now doing more intensive but shorter cardio DVDs (Hiit, kickboxing, boxing w/a heavy bag, step aerobics, circuit training, etc) and more intensive strength training. As a result, I've had to be really mindful of my flexibility to avoid getting hurt.

About a week ago, I discovered a stretch DVD that is like nothing I've tried before. It's not at all frou fou or relaxing---you will work, sweat, and it's not always comfortable. That said, the results are like nothing I've experienced. After using this DVD for a very short time, I've improved the flexibility in my terminally tight hamstrings to the point where I can almost touch my nose to my knees (sitting on a mat w/my legs straight out in front of me). It's amazing. Also, it requires a lot of mental focus so you improve your body awareness, as well. It's so good that I wanted to share it w/you: here is the creator's website (Donna Flagg): http://www.lastics.com/ ]]> other sports Selkie http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=51546 http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=51518&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:56:22 GMT Yesterday's workout started with feet in the TRX in push up position. Do a push up then do a pull in. Repeat 15 times. We also did supine pull ups with the TRX, feet elevated on a bar and then do a pull up. Those were tough!

Our last round of exercises included bicep curls while standing on the Bosu 3 sets of 15 with 40 pounds. Thom had been using the 60 pound bar and when I put it away I first had to see if I could curl it - 4 times. Not bad for the end of a workout. :D
