Starting easy

We'll see if we can get this ball rolling slowly.

Sunday evening, I'm going to do one of the Five Day Stretch installments from FIRM and the FUN-damentals (or intro to the Core Secrets ball for dummies) DVD.

FIRM Parts: Five Day Stretch
Day one - First off, OMG early nineties outfits. Tangerine leotards, gold chains while you work out and...it's endearing. Makes me feel nostalgic. Also, the fastforwarding reminds me of how much I like DVD technology. There is a standing and a sitting section. The first instructor reminds me of Rosanne's sister Jackie, and the second of a slightly fembot Kathy Lee Gifford, but both have the usual good FIRM cueing. And the hip stretches felt good.

Core Secrets FUNdamentals
Ahhh, nice and low key. I like that a lot about Core Secrets. This one is just Burke and Peterson with ten basic moves. I broke a little bit of a sweat on a few, and need to try this with weights the next time, because the arm moves were fairly pointless without them. Nice little reintroduction to the fitness ball, though.
