As I've mentioned before, my abdominals have always been my favorite muscle to work on. When I have a flat stomach, I feel fit. Lately, I've been working like a mad woman on my abs, because it seemed as though I could not shred that pooch for anything. Well, I found out why........pregnant! Yep, 9 weeks pregnant, so my uterus is the size of a grapefruit. Ahhhh, no wonder!
So anyways, now I have to change things up a bit. Right away I purchased a Pre-Natal DVD......Denise Austin's "Fit and Trim" Pregnancy. 3 minutes into it, I hit eject. It was sooooo ridiculous. I felt like a transvestite doing ballet.....so awkward, and slow. I get more of a work-out lugging my 3 year old kid around on my hip. I was actually going through Jillian Michael withdrawals. So I checked the Pre-Natal guidelines on exercising just to be safe, and I slipped in 30 day Shred (Level 1) with intentions to modify the moves that are NOT recommended. Oh, it felt so good to move again!! Instead of doing the ab moves, I got on all fours and did different leg lifts. Instead of the hard core jumping, I did step-touch, or slightly bounced on the pads of my feet. It felt great! Denise Austin's DVD may be okay when I'm the size of a barge but if I can get away with The Shred, then I don't see the point in switching.
Well, I apologize for not being the Shredder I intended to be, but I'll still be doing it along with ya. =)
