High Calorie Melt Workout - Favorite?!

tell me, tell me - what's your favorite workout in the Melt It Off with Mitch series of videos. the 3 Day Melt Kickstart is so encouraging, right? who doesn't like to see results right away?! but how about the Sizzlin' Abs workout or the High Calorie Melt workout - ass-kickin' exercising there. i've never worked so hard, i don't think.

Spring Cardio Workout

alright. even though i'm still rolling to work late everyday, it isn't the fault of daylight savings anymore. NOW, i want to stay outside all the time. i've been taking my dog for a walk every morning and evening (something i do not do when there's snow on the ground), which is definitely crowding into my 3 Day Melt/Melt It Off With Mitch time. i'm relishing every scrap of sunshine today because it's supposed to freeze up again tomorrow night. i'll no doubt be back to mitch and his killer g-ball, as snow or rain are going to turn the fields soggy - a mudbath for pooch. i suppose most people in a 4-season clime change their workout weapon at least a couple times a year. mitch gaylord is my fitness trainer all winter, for sure. i mean, what can beat his Cardio Burn and Sculpt Workout?

Evening Exercise

daylight savings time is not my favorite concept. at least not now that i live in a wintery place. snow boots and light-till-late don't mix, as far as i'm concerned. i wonder, has the time shift affected your workout schedule? i prefer exercise in the morning, and i know that some of the melt it off workouts are short, but now that it's dark forever in the a.m. again, there's no way i'm exercising in the morning... not for a while. it's evenings for exercise now.

Melt It Off - What You Get

in case you need a little help on the organizational side of things, mitch gaylord's "melt it off" program might just have the hand-holding tools you're looking for. it isn't just dvds. there's also the g-ball (it'll really kick your butt, btw) plus low-fat recipes and meal plans, a rotation calendar, journal and lots of inspiration. the "3 day melt" gets you off to a great start.

3 Day Melt Better Than Yoga

i went to this yoga class a few days ago and totally strained my back. i never have back issues, but it really bothered me at bedtime for a couple of nights. not to slam yoga, but i've never felt like that when doing the 3 day melt / melt it off with mitch. sore muscles, yes, but never that sort of strain before. ugh!

G-Ball

that G-Ball is amazing. it leverages your core action to really heat things up. i think that because you have to hold onto it, consciously - because, let's face it, it could fly off and break your favorite lamp or your roommate's nose - really amps up its effectiveness. i could be wrong, but i think it activates more muscles throughout your arms that way. what do you think?

Ultimate Core

i'm curious to know if anyone has used the Ultimate Core video that's part of the 3-Day melt program. it says it's based on how our core moves in everyday living. that sounds really smart. strengthening your core muscles sure will give you a 6-pack if you're super focused on it, but also just makes sense for good health and a toned body.
