    My total body today is going to be "Total Body Toning" dancers abs & "5 Really Big Miles" with Leslie Sansone. That dvd also uses a resistance band. I really like it!!

    Will let you know when I'm done.

    Happy Friday! I'm in!
    3 sets/total body done, and 34 minutes of Jillian/Yoga. Felt like I needed the stretching.

    I just did Yoga too! Seems like a good day for it!

    Happy Friday guys!
    I didn't give up but my injuries hold me back to do the exercises posted here. However, I start it Birkam Yoga and it is amazing.
    After my first class , I was in such pain , that I couldn't get to the washroom.
    Today ,I am proud to say that. this week,, I will go there four times:)
    Oh, yeah!:)

    On Friday, I do a transformation class that includes the things you listed! The class lasts 60 min and we do a jog in the mix.
    Got it done, always feel like my butt has been kicked after this workout!
