My New Best Friend

December 7th, 2006 @ 5:29 pm by Mrs. Emerald

His name is Billy Blanks, and he’s gonna help whip me into shape over the next 9 months! Now that I have the luxury of my very own townhouse, I can jump around like an idiot all I want! (I used to live in a vintage second floor walk-up with hardwood floors, and my landlords lived right below me. Obviously couldn’t do any jumping there…)

Tae Bo is awesome and I love kickboxing, so I purchased the following DVDs:

I figure if I supplement my regular lunchtime gym sessions (3 to 4 times a week) with some Billy Blanks once or twice a week, I will be in great shape by next September! And this way, I won’t feel so guilty if fiancee and I ditch the gym to go out to lunch instead, hehe.

Those people in the video sweat like CRAZY. I swear, they must make it like a sauna in there on purpose! I did the cardio one last night. What’s great is that my living room and kitchen are adjoined, so every 15 minutes or so I would hit pause and check on dinner haha. Call me the multi-tasker extraordinaire! ;-)

Have fun with those! I tried Billy Banks, but I just didn’t get into them. So, I stick with my cardio dance dvds, (even if I look ridiculous doing them), and my Yoga dvds.

I swear by Billy. A few years ago I had great success doing the Tae-bo workout videos and I incorporated a little bit of running and I droppped an amazing 20 pounds in 3 months. I LOVE BILLY!!!!!! Good Luck!
