In which chez trek is transformed

It's kind of hard to believe that I am coming up on the end of my fourth week of walking at home. I've got a modest little collection of Leslie Sansone's DVDs, interlocking floor matsto cover the concrete in the basement, three neon green firm bands,two sets of neoprene hand weights (similar to these), and a pair of weightlifting gloves.

Who would have thought chez trek could have turned into a home gym in just four short weeks?

Despite the growing collection of DVDs downstairs, I am still in the market for more. I need variety. If I have to do the exact workout every day or every other day, I'll get bored.

Quickly.

I borrowed Leslie Sansone: Walk Your Belly Flatfrom the library this week. Yet another "try before you buy".

Why, yes, I do love my local library. Why do you ask?

I popped this one in yesterday morning and initially I thought to myself, "Oh, my, this is way too slow!" By the second mile, however, the pace had picked up considerably and it turned out to be a very good workout, especially when I followed it up with The Big Burn,which I picked up at the milk store of all places. They've got this little wheeled cart up near the front end with impulse videos on it. Two miles of intervals.

This DVD is a pretty good 2-mile interval workout but I have to admit that there are some camera issues that are a bit distracting. The project would have benefited from a bit more footage editing.

One of the best features of this workout regimen is that the laundry gets washed as I sweat. Another is that I'm still doing it.

By the way, I hear from the Walk At Home Club folks that Leslie has a brand-new 5 mile DVD in the works for fall 2011 release.
