my fitness partner 6/6/08

We have been working very hard and I am working out very hard. Kayo chan has been a faithful fintess partner. This is the matching shirt I mentioned last night. I am taking it easy tonight. But maybe we will be back in the routine with morning yoga?!?!

shopping rules 6/5/08

Because the work we do is intense and have to sit down all day, I make a very conscious effort to distract my attention from it and have fun in the evening. My roommate Kayo chan and I went to The Country Club Plaza and engaged in a little shopping. The pedometer count for today is 11,555. That is not bad. hehehe.

lots of yoga 6/5/08

We are working so hard and we can certainly use yoga! LOTS of yoga. We have been doing candlelight yoga three nights in a row and we even did morning energizer version today. I am almost getting too much of Sarah. I am thinking maybe we should switch to Susan Dawson DVD next time. Depending on how we feel, we may do Tina's tube or morning yoga tomorrow morning. Then we will take it easy and go to a mall after work. Hopefully the weather is good and we get lots of walking. I will call it cardio and the day will be light/rest day... This has been a lot of fun.

yoga and tube 6/4/08

My roommate Kayo-chan sensei agreed to do tube DVD that I mentioned yesterday. We have some time before dinner to go back to the hotel and sneak in short exercise. So we did that and went to dinner. Later I did pretty heavy duty cardio (average heart rate maybe 140) for an hour in the fitness room. Then, we did evening yoga. The public room is not still available, so I can only do yoga in the hotel room with sensei, but next week, hopefully we can open it up to the larger audience. It sure feels good.

Tina Smalley's Fat Burning Cardio band exercise 6/3/08

I am in Kansas City! I will be staying the hotel for two weeks, scoring AP exams. My roommate Kayoko sensei bought exercise tube, which came with 30 minute DVD. It features Tina Smalley and I found it very good! I had my heart rate monitor on and it burnt 185 calories. Not bad for 30 minute workout. Because we are tied up all day and they provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is not much hope to be doing extensive exercise. The fitness center downstairs doesn't open until 6 and closes at 9. My hope is to do 2 mile run in the morning before breakfast and fit in this tube exercise and/or yoga at night. Let's see how it goes.

I am back! 6/2/08

Ah.  It has been more than 10 months I wrote the last entry.  I think the blog should deserve a little more attention.  The school is over and now I am working out a lot more!  For the last three weeks, I have been going through Power phase that Anthony gave me.  For today, I just wanted to write a short note and test posting the photo.
