Spicing things up...............

How does that saying go, varity is the spice of life? Maybe, anyhow I think part of my problem other then time and exhustion is varity. I read on a daily basis how some of you do different things like the UB and LB work outs. (Mind you it only took me several weeks to figure out what UB and LB ment)How do you do this? What I mean to ask is do you follow a guide, a video, a routine? How did you discover this and how often do you do these things. I have the 2.5 pound weights, baby dumb bells. They sit on the floor of the den the most movement they see is when I vacume and move them from one spot to another. Go ahead and laugh but I am dead serious. I only got a 20 minutes, medium paced walk in, but while walking I was thinking of these things. Now I am eating some cottage cheese with some fresh sliced strawberries (thanks Cusstte, that was your suggestion to someone else this morning). I need to get into the shower in a few minutes and head to the office.
Would any of you mind posting what a regular daily routine would be for you. I do not mean just UB and 45 minute jog. I mean what do you do for your UB workout and how. If its to much to post then you can email me the info. I am just thinking maybe time to try something besides a walk. Thanks for your imput ladies!

I like to do different things if only for the fact that I get bored doing the same thing. Although I don't always use videos for weights I do like to use them because they keep me on track as far as reps and what I'm doing. I tend to still be a little bleary eyed at 5:45 AM. Collage Video has a great selection of videos if you like to go that way. They will show you different types of videos for specifically what you're trying to do. I try to mix up cardio with different things and try to do weights at least 2x a week although I've been a bit deficient in that area. I started off doing weights with the Tamilee Webb video I Want Those Arms. It's broken down into 2 15 minute parts so you can do one or the other or both segments. Always start off with lighter weights and when you feel that it's becoming too easy increase the weights. Strength training is very important to keep those bones healthy! Collage Video will also show you clips of the videos to give you and idea of what's on them and also give customer reviews which I find very helpful. Variety is the spice of life-so dust off those weights and pick them up! I actually do enjoy the weight work! Not sure this helped or answered your question!
