My Step 2a: Resistance Training

I am alternating my walking days with resistance training.  I believe that it's very important to do both.  The DVD I'm using is "10-Minute Trainer"

It a great set!  As you can see it has a DVD for Total Body, Lower Body, Abs, Cardio, and Yoga.  So far I've only used the Total Body one and let me tell you it kicked my butt!
.
It used to make be kind of depressed when I could hardly do what seemed like such a simple, easy workout.  Now I know that EVERY step I take, no matter how small, both figuratively and mentally, is valuable since it means I'm moving forward.  The workout band I got with this DVD set is the "hard" and towards the end I couldn't even stretch it above my head!  I know that I will get there though!  It just takes time & dedication & commitment!  If I can't even keep a commitment I make to myself, how can I ever hope to keep a commitment I make to someone else?
.
The great thing about these bands are that you can ease or tighten (to a degree) the resistance.  So when I do get to where the workout is "easy" - I can just cinch up on the band and work at a harder level!

I got my 10-Minute Trainer through Mandy Horan who is a Beachbody Coach.  If you're interested, contact her through her website, www.getfitwithmandy.com.  She also has the P90X and several others so no doubt you can find one that would work for you.

And to copy what she always says: "Just press play!"
