I don't know about you guys but it is WELL PAST the holidays and I am still packing those few extra pounds that are SO ANNOYING! Since graduating from college and getting a corporate job I get ABSOLUTELY NO EXERCISE and it's hard for me to shed the few extra pounds that once would be gone in a week from walking across campus and going to the gym with my roommates.
So I was in Target today and I decided to look through the exercise DVDs and I found Yoga Body Burn by Denise Austin. I have a few other Pilates videos she's done and I really liked them so I decided to try this one. I think the cover of the video sold me! Look at this lady! I read her bio and she's older than my mom and she looks incredible! I want to look like Denise Austin! My abs don't look ANYTHING like that ESPECIALLY when I'm sitting in that position! So I'm inspired! And as much as I DESPISE running, I might start doing that as well. Can you tell I REALLY don't want to be chubby BEFORE I get pregnant??? Because who knows what kind of blimp I will look like in six months! I don't like dieting so exercise is going to have to be the way to do it. Any advice?

No advice, but let me know if that video works! I'm looking for something too...
Hi Lindsay! I am Emily's old roommate, Ashley, and I love reading your blog! Em has told me so much about you that I feel like I know you! Anyway, since I love yoga and I primarily use dvd's to practice it, I couldn't help but leave a comment. I got my yoga dvd's from target and my favorite so far are Sara Ivanhoe's. She has one called "target zone" with different routines that are about 20-30 minutes each. It helps to have different routines because the same ones get boring after a while. Also, after trying so many different diets, I find that the best is to just eat smaller portions of the things you love. Hope this helps!!
Hey! I am working out in the mornings at the gym and on Thursday's they have a Yoga class that I attend and then on Saturday's I have a two hour Jazz dance class. I have a hard time with the video thing. I work out better in a gym. but, I think DVDs are the way to go and I have a windsor pilates DVD that kicks my butt! Also get ten pound weights and start lifting! It will help you lose weight faster and tone up. A jump robe is great for cardiovascular and I love how easy it is to use at home. Good Luck! I am excited that we are all trying to get fit. I think I have lost five pounds so far! I bought the cutest clothes from Ann Taylor Loft today. I got two dress pants, two cordory pants, black dress skirt, blue taliored shirt and a really pretty black and white dress! You have got me sold :)
I don't have advice Linds--but you look great and should not worry! I haven't done yoga before...let us know how that video is--I like pilates a lot, but I dont know if I have the patience or flexibility for yoga!
I love Denise. She's amazing, always so positive. I hope her yoga burn is good, I'm sure it will be. You'll have to find what works for you, but it sounds like you're off to a good start!
i used to work out with denise austen videos in middle school! :) let me know if you like the videos. I am looking for a good video I can do at home during naptime.
